No radiation!
Had an appointment with my oncologist today and it went well. I won't have to do any radiation, YAY!! He was really pleased with everything, the MUGA scan results were great, he was really pleased and surprised that I only had 2 nodes bad, and he's ready to get the chemo started as soon as I am. I do have some dental work to get done before I start, so as soon as I get that taken care of, we'll be ready. He went ahead and gave me prescriptions for anti-nausea meds. Oh, and I also called Dr. Holt's office this morning, asking about my right side, I was concerned that it had some fluid in it, so they told me to come by there before I went to Dr. Pierce (oncologist). And, sure enough, I did, he ended up draining over 50cc's of fluid off of that side, but other than that, everything looked ok. I don't go back to him til next Friday and don't go back to Dr. Pierce until I get my dental work finished, so my next appointment is next wed at the dentist, but we're trying to get that moved up, no luck as of yet. I was also told that I would probably rather wear my glasses during chemo instead of my contacts, for comfort, so I set myself up an appointment to get an eye exam next Friday too. I wouldn't gonna do it, I figured I had enough appts anyway, but since we have good vision insurance, I figured I might as well, besides, I wouldn't mind a new set of specs! Man alive, I feel so tired, having to go here and there! I have had a different appointment everyday this week! I feel like I have been to more dr apts this past two months than I have my entire life. There is nothing on the agenda for tomorrow, but the kids' are suppose to be having a "fun day", so if I feel like it, I would like to go to the school for a little while, then Fri will be their last one. So, that's it for now!
