PET Scan Results and Surgery details
I had the PET scan yesterday at the Red Oak location since Kingwood's machine was down due to the weather. I got there and they injected me with the radioactive isotope. Then I had to wait an hour for it to get into my system. The actual time on the table only took 20-30 minutes and wasn't terrible. I went to the oncologist today to get results and they said there is no cancer to be seen anywhere else in the body except the left breast. PRAISE GOD!! I am having the BRCA test repeated as mine was negative 6 years ago. It tests for the cancer gene. I guess they are repeating it in case it wasn't read right before?? I'm really not 100% sure on that reasoning. I just stuck out my arm like a brave girl and gave them the blood. I did have to wait in the chemo suite while I waited to have the blood drawn and that was unpleasant. Just knowing I probably will be one of the youngest in there is weird. They all were staring at me, I'm sure wondering why I had to be there. Trust me, I have been asking why also! My surgery will be June 13th at Tops Surgical Hospital. It's a beautiful facility. I will have to most likely stay 1-2 days overnight. My mom is coming to help us June 16-25 and I can't wait. My mother in law has been wonderful helping with kids while I run to appointments. Not to mention she has been spoiling us with making supper for us. People want to help and I thank everyone who has offered. I will need help down the road I'm sure. And I will ask, I promise! I filed for FMLA and Short Term Disablilty today also. I feel like I'm getting things done. I'm on my third cancer book. I read "Any Day With Hair Is A Good Hair Day" and now I'm reading "Not The Year You Had Planned". Thanks Alissa and Theresa! It's keeping me preoccupied!
