Continuing Journey~

Last week was filled with doctor appointments and education on my cancer.  It first started out with meeting the Oncologist, Dr. Bolla.  He did a great job explaining everything to us.  We left there hopeful and almost ready to decide what we were going to do.  Which route to take.  Whether I get a Lumpectomy or a Mastectomy with Chemo will give me the same results.  So we may as well do the Lumpectomy.

Wednesday was the meeting of all the doctors that will be involved in my case.  There was a new factor added to the qualifications of having the Genetic Testing done.  I was decidedly a low risk when leaving the Oncologists meeting.  Being I have all three or the receptors reading as negative that put me in the qualified pile.  This will tell if I carry a certain gene that will be a factor on whether I will get cancer again or if it were a gene that was passed down.  With this it would delay any surgery for a couple of weeks.  I just want that thing out of me

Thursday we met with the Genetics Specialist and it was all good information.  But we were not satisfied that it really is needed.  So we are going to pass on that.  Later that day I had my MRI.  Boy was that thing uncomfortable.  A friend suggested that the next (if ever) time I have to do that, ask for Xanax to calm me so I am not so fidgety in the tube.  

Friday I got a call from the Breast Coordinator, Cindy.  They found another mass in the left breast from the MRI.  sucks big time.  More delays.  I have to go for an Ultrasound on the left breast Wednesday.  She mentioned an MRI Biopsy.  I really don't want to go in that tube again.  If I must, we'll do the Xanax. 

I relaxed this weekend and kept busy with little things to do. 

God Bless those of you that care enough to pray for me.  I love you.  I am not crying, for I know it is all in God's hands.

Peace, Love and Bobby Sherman~
