Phew! I'm going to need a color coded appointment book to keep up with all of my appointments. I had my EKG this morning (after a small delay with the referral), I see the plastic surgeon tomorrow afternoon & have an appointment to have my port put in next Wed morning. I was hoping to make Wed my "chemo day" so if they can get me in for chemo on Wed, I'll have to change the port placement appointment (I can't do both in one day and the doc said it's okay to have 1 treatment through an IV). I'm hoping that it'll be late friday/early saturday before the chemo side effects hit me and Ray will be home to do everything for the minions & I will be able to rest.
I spoke with a nurse patient advocate yesterday (from my PCM's office, NOT the one that I was supposed to be referred to by the breast surgeon's office). She was super nice and gave me some great information. She also checked and saw that my MRI results are in- no lymph node involvement and just one other very tiny lump in the same breast. That's great news that there's no lymph node involvement and means I most likely won't need radiation after my surgery this summer.
I'm trying to get the house in order before I start treatment, but let's be honest, I've never been the most organized person LOL I do have 4 huge bags to drop off at goodwill this afternoon & I'll soon be going through summer clothes again and getting rid of what doesn't fit so that should help a bit. I'm thinking of selling off most of my fabric stash and boxing up my machines since I haven't been sewing lately and may not feel up to it.
In the meantime, I'm enjoy these endless snow days with the kids (okay, so going a bit crazy). I hope everyone else isn't going too crazy with snowmageddon 2016. Luckily it only pushed my EKG back by 1 day and hasn't really affected any other appointments. Bring on the treatments!
