Happy New Year! Frankly, I'm really glad to have said goodbye to 2015 & am looking forward to 2016! I know it's going to be a bit of a fight to get to my 40th birthday, but I'm ready to get healthier and give cancer a big ole' FU.
I've called the breast specialist's office a couple of times trying to get a sooner appointment, but the doctor doesn't get back into the office until Tuesday & according to the receptionist, she's triple booked. In fact, she moved my Friday appointment back by a half hour because an earlier surgery got bumped back a bit :/ I'm hoping Friday will be here quickly once we get back into our regular routines though.
In the meantime, I've been doing some googling and trying to learn as much as I can about different options. It could be as simple as a lumpectomy, or as complex as chemo, radiation & mastectomy. I think I'm prepared for whatever I need to do. I'm fortunate to have a wonderful supportive husband & friends and family willing to watch the kids while I go to appointments.
I've been feeling a bit stronger, emotionally. I think I'm no longer in shock and starting to process everything. I know we can beat this!
My doctor gave me a prescription for sleeping pills but fortunately I haven't even filled the prescription. I'm not having trouble falling asleep, but for some reason I wake up super early every morning and just toss and turn. I've started back at the gym though so hopefully that'll keep me nice and tired and help me sleep a bit longer.
I'll update again as soon as I've processed everything from Friday's appointment. Please keep the prayers and good vibes coming. Thanks again for all of your support <3
