Hot Sauce

It's been frustrating. I don't look forward to the next Cisplatin treatment but if I am going to go through this I should at least being getting the right treatment schedule.
At my last office visit with my Austin oncologist my xray results had not been forwarded to her. She decided that I should have a CT scan before the next treatment for monitoring purposes even though I am scheduled for xray, CT and PET scans at MD Anderson end of Oct. I waited and waited for the schedule. Nothing. Finally I called and complained to the nurse that I did not want to grow tumors waiting on approval of the CT scan before chemo is scheduled. I was pretty grumpy but nicely thanked her for dealing with it for me. I woke up at 4:00am this morning worried about it. This morning they called and said I was scheduled for chemo Friday ( 6 days late). I should be able to barely bounce back by the time my daughter is here to visit on the 18th.
If I am able to drink fluids and Ensure I should not crash as hard as I did last time.
The coordination between the doctors is less than it should be. I don't want to suffer because I am caught between egos.
An unfortunate side effect of this chemo is ringing in my ears and loss of upper range hearing :<

Youtube always cheers me up. I recently watched Red Green Show - the dog wash
