Tired Girl

Went to my first doctors appointment...Rob came as well and Lori was going for support. She has her biopsy next tuesday...that will be fun. We arrived late, not a big deal actually I think it was because secretly Rob didn't want to go. Got into the patient room, and my doctor comes in...a very sweet and great surgeon. I realized that she is the one who found the cancer, but I won't be with her long, once she does what she needs to do..I will be shuffled to an oncologist. Just so happens that I have a very good friend who is an oncologist, the best in my city and he is now on speed dial!

So next steps...as I sit there remarkably in a good mood...she explains the type of cancer, actually rolls up in her little rolly chair, and flips over the pathology report and starts to draw a picture. Pictures are nice...I would have enjoyed a picture of any thing but an image of my breast cancer, but beggers can't be choosers.

She doesn't seem to be too concerned, but we need to make sure that everything is as it appears to be; the DCIS and it has not spread, or that they missed something so we are having a bilateral MRI of my boobies today actually.

She explains that there could be much more cancer in there....or it can be exactly as it appears so far. I'm actually rooting for the latter, who'd a guesses? Then she talked about sentinal lymph node biopsy...but that would be after the lumpectomy which I will have the week of May 5th...Cinco De Maio...

Back to reality TV...So again next steps is the MRI today...

I will touch base later...So this was Day 2 and is Beginning Day 3
