Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer When I got a look at how many appointments and how much recovery time my breast cancer treatment was going to take, I thought I had just gotten a part-time job! I had to learn quickly how to manage my calendar. Personal note: The previous version of my weekly newsletter went out unedited, due to a family medical emergency. Breast Cancer Treatment And Recovery Times I was working full-time when I was diagnosed, and felt like I not only didn't want cancer, I didn't want the treatment schedule that came with it! My already full calendar had to be reworked several times to fit in all the appointments. Of course, if you have a social secretary, perhaps they can handle this for you. Or is there an app for that? Handling an Emergency During Breast Cancer Treatment I had a health emergency while in treatment with my first oncologist - when we called for help, they actually said they were booked up! So take it from me - there's other places to turn for help. Just be sure you know who to call and when to call.
