Picture taken from Gateway files. I am almost at the end of the determining all we need to know about Linell's cancer road.
I have spent the week seeing doctors and taking various medical tests. I am sick of it all. Thank goodness there isn't much left to do.
- Monday I met with my beloved oncologist, he saved my life last time I had cancer, so what's not to love).
- Tuesday the breast rotten MRI
- Wednesday I the stupid echo cardiogram .
- Today was the best day by far because it was a day of almost decisions. Al and I met with a St. Agnes Breast Cancer team; a surgeon, a plastic surgeon, a radiation oncologist, a medical oncologist and who ever is needed. The cancer team gets together early in the morning and discusses the patients they are about to see. Then each doctor meets and talks with the patients individually. After meeting with the patients the doctors get together again and come up with the final recommendations.
During the meeting (probably based on Tuesday's MRI results) a radiologist at St. Agnes re-read my mammogram and found another lump, bringing on another biopsy and now a new wait before the Doctors can make a final decision.
But in any case it looks like a lumpectomy will still work since both lumps are close enough together. Hopefully I will get the final word on Tuesday.

Okay so your going to Plan B and opting for a larger breast reduction! I'm glad they found the second lump now rather than later but it sure would have been nice if they'd noticed it the first time around! Would have been awful if they went in and took the wrong one and left the other and you had to do this all over again.
Sweetie had an idea about doing something fun with you (a movie). I'm game if you are. The professor will be away on Saturday at a nephews wedding and I agreed to help someone strip out thier dog for a dog show during the morning and early afternoon on Saturday.
Good Lookin
