Second opinion same as the first...

On the 8th of December we made the trek to Sunnybrook hospital to meet with another surgeon. She confirmed everything the first surgeon told us. She also told us that due to the size of the tumor and the triple negative effect, we would be starting with chemotherapy.  Sunnybrook was so busy and sooooo expensive. A 16 day parking pass was $225! 10 days at Lakeridge was $76. The cafeteria at Sunnybrook was also extremely expensive - at least at Lakeridge Oshawa the prices reflect normal and typical costs for Subway, Pizza Pizza and Tim Hortons. At Sunnybrook we would have our own nurse to follow us through the journey from the beginning, right to the end. We wouldn't have to worry about scheduling appointments - our nurse would do all the scheduling and let us know where we need to be and when. They also offer something called 'My Chart' where I would have access to all my reports, results and appointments. I could print off any reports/results whenever I wanted. We thought that was pretty cool. Sunnybrook also offered us social workers, psychologists, a dietician, really anyone that we could think of to help us through this...hellish ride we were about you embark on...
