For those of you that know me or are reading this I am writing all of this as if it happened that day. I need to keep track of my thoughts and this was the best way to do it. Hopefully I will be caught up soon or at least I know I will be and then it will all be all up to date.
Okay now for today’s appointment recap. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly all in one.
So today’s appointment was with the radiation oncologist. Again check in was a breeze they had everything there I just had to show my insurance card. I guess that is the good thing about going to a cancer center. Richie and I did get there a little early and we wound up waiting for a bit but now I understand why.
The normal routine was done (is it sad after only a couple of doctors appointments I think this is normal?) weigh, blood pressure and temperature. Then the nurse came in and went over what to expect during radiation and that they had the results of my MRI and the doctor would go over everything with me.
So then the doctor comes in and does a breast exam again (boy are they popular) then told me to get dressed and he would go over the results.
So the bad news comes: There is another tumor behind the original one and my lymph nodes are showing signs of cancer. Really come on now WTF? Again how is this even possible? It is growing that fast? So with this recent news I will have to do chemotherapy first, then surgery, then radiation. At this point I broke down. This is unfair. I always try and pay it forward and this is what I get. There was a lot of crying on Richie while we drove to Erica’s (my cousin) to pick up Tyler.
After we got him Dr. Hamad’s office called and they want me to come in Wednesday instead of the 29th. Okay I can do this. It is just another bump in the road.
While at work I get another call from her office and now I go in tomorrow to discuss everything at 9 am then it is off to the plastic surgeon’s office. But it looks like I will start chemo sometime next week.
