Next was my much anticipated appt with Dr. K. He is such a nice guy and remembered me from working at the hospital. He said I needed a PET scan to check to see if the cancer spread to other parts of my body. I'm having that next Wednesday. Then he said those words I was hoping I wouldn't hear. I need chemo. He thinks I should have surgery first tho and in the next 2-3 weeks. Then chemo can start 3-6 weeks after that. I will get a port placed while in surgery to help save my veins. I still won't know if I need radiation until after my pathology report comes back. That would happen after the chemo.
So I got the ball rolling...maybe a little too fast for my liking. I am sitting here thinking about how different my life will be in a month from now. Funny how life can be sometimes.
