Keeping Busy and Beating Cancer

Posted on 12:56 by rajveer

Dear Dr S,
Re: SARAH MENDOZA, D.o.B 29/07/1970
Hosp. No. ******** NHS No. **********
18 **** **** Road, ********, Middx *** ***

I saw Sarah today for her 6th and final Cycle of Adjuvant FEC 75 Chemotherapy. She has some right cording and superficial thrombophlebitis which for the latter I have given her Doxycycline, since there is some question as to whether she is allergic to an antibiotic she was given at the time of her portacap insertion. I today considered her for Adjuvant radiotherapy to the left reconstructive breast and I have also commenced her on Tamoxifen which will start with the first week of radiotherapy. She is going to have an echo-cardiogram prior to commencing her septin loading in March.

With many kind regards

Yours sincerely
Mr L

Note there is no mention of therapy for my arm. And I don’t think my GP sees the damage as being superficial especially when he was pushing me on my last meeting to complain to PAL. Oh and my GP has had a clash of words with Handsome Mr L before now over another issue.



In the mean time I’ve been keeping myself busy. First I and Sophia met Samuel L Jackson which was brilliant. Second I have been designing/making Sophia an Egyptian costume for school.
