This isn't much of an update, friends. Since my Doc was on the west coast yesterday, the office couldn't schedule my scans without speaking to him first.
I'm sure the girls at his office hate me, due to my repeated phone calls today. I have to have a whole body scan to find out if the cancer is spread to any other parts of my body. This is usually done the day before treatment. I'm lucky in that, I should only have to have one treatment of radiation if it hasn't spread. The downside is that this dose of poison is a pill, and depending on the dosage, I’ll be quarantined for at least days.
Today went something like this:
9:05am "Any word from radiation?" "No"
10:30am "Any word from radiation?" "No"
12:00pm "We are out to lunch"
1:30pm "Any word from radiation?" "No"
3:30pm "Any word from radiation?" "No"
4:50pm "Any word from radiation?" " Looks like it'll be next week"
I did end up coming into the office, and I'm glad I did. My co-workers and boss can always make me laugh, even when I'm feeling sorry for my cancer-having-self.
And, back to waiting.
I just spoke with my friend Heather, who welcomed Baby Beckett into the world today. The best part of not having my treatments this week is being able to visit with him this weekend. Thankful!
