I know lots of you are concerned and so I thought I would explain what has been going on the last week or so with me.
The day before Gage was born I met with an oncologist. He seems like an awesome guy. I trust him and what he thinks is the best treatment plan for me.
I got one week to be with Gage and just try to focus on him. He is my saving grace and stress reliever. I need him.
Last Friday I met with the surgeon who preformed the biopsy and will be putting in my portacath or port so I can receive the chemo treatments.
Monday I met with a nurse at the cancer center who walked me through the chemo treatments, the drugs and the side effects, basically Chemo 101.
Tuesday I had a MRI to see if the cancer had spread anywhere else.
Wednesday was hardest day so far. It was the surgery to place the port. It went well, I am just very sore. The incisions and the device itself hurt.
Thursday I had some blood work done, a meeting with the oncologist again and a MUGA scan. The scan is to get a baseline of how my heart is functioning before they start chemo. The doctor finally gave me some good news - it doesn't look like the cancer has spread anywhere else!
Today. So glad it is a holiday and everyone is closed or I am sure I would have had an appointment for something. Happy to be with family and focus on them over the weekend. Monday is the big day - first round of chemo.
