A day full of appointments

Had a very long day after working all night. Started with my preop appt at my gyn's office. Then checked in for my preop appt at the hospital. Four needle sticks later they got my blood finally. I look and feel like a pin cushion! Then lastly we met with my regular oncologist. The next logical step besides getting my ovaries out and those being sent to pathology is to biopsy the lesion on my spine. He does not want to call it metastatic breast cancer until he has positive proof. Most likely that will happen sometime in the week of the 7th. Results appointment won't be until the 17th. All depends on if the interventional radiologist can get to the lesion or not, if not they will push for a PET scan. I did ask if he would help out if we wanted a second opinion or referral to MD Anderson and he said that he would help us if we wanted to do that. Right now however, since biopsies and pathologies are the next step we will stay put.
