Meeting with the Oncologist and Breast MRI

So on Friday the 19th I met with the medical Oncologist. I liked him right away he was kind and very friendly. When I walked into the cancer center I didn't know what to expect. I was very nervous almost like meeting someone for the first time nervous. Not someone who you will become very good friends with. So once we were all checked in we waited for Dr. Singh to come in. This is one tall Doctor. So because of my family history of ovarian cancer and then the BRACA gene, he told me 100% I will be getting chemotherapy. Okay I can deal with this. Now there is a question on whether or not the tumor has gotten bigger? Seriously WTF? Since I am already scheduled for a breast MRI this afternoon we will wait for that to be finished before any final decisions will be made on whether or not I will have chemo first or surgery first.
Among other things we discussed was the double mastectomy that they are suggesting (already decided to have it done) and also having the total hysterectomy (already decided yes to this just not sure when). So off I am to go to the Breast MRI.

The breast MRI was not painful at all just uncomfortable. More like Chinese water torture. They did this with contrast and without. The worst part was laying on the machine like you were flying with your boobs in square boxes. Oh the other fun part was the loud noises. I couldn’t hear anything that was being said to me or the music that was provided. But all in all it was easy and I get the test results on Monday
