I'm feeling much better today.
Surgery is the morning of July 10th at St Agnes. It's an out patient procedure and I will be fully out of it all. The thing is some surgeons do under a local. Part of me wants to be awake so I know what is going on. Oh well. I may have to get one of you to sit and surgery and take notes.
The next thing I need to do is set up dates for chemo and radiation. The only problem is both the adored chemo oncologist and the impressive but not yet adored radiation oncologist, want to be the second to treat my body. Radiation oncologist says since I am using partial breast radiation (mammosite radiation) I should do radiation as soon as I have healed from surgery. The adored chemo oncologist says we should do chemo first, but that was before partial breast radiation was being discussed. I have a call into the adored chemo oncologist and I figure it will work out easily.
I have set up an appointment with the wonderful gynecologist--she wants me to check in with her after I talked to various oncologists.
I called the therapist's office and used the cancer and depression card to get sympathy. I should hear from him this evening.
I still need to call the regular doctor for a pre-op physical, but will do that soon.
Having a date for surgery takes a weight off my chest. GL's note kicking my butt lets me know I am loved not just by her but also by many others. Life is good and this is just a bump in the road. Life is good.

Now thats more like it! I'll have to wear my kick ass shoes more often!
You've been a busy and productive today girl and reached out to others so my prayer was answered. You must be feeling better as well!
Feels good to be taking charge of the choas that has become your life doesn't it?! Will they really let someone in to take notes and watch the surgery???? If so count me in!
Another dang call will clear up who gets first shots at you after surgery. You should get a Target bullseye and wear it on your chest for your first treatment! Or maybe we can do a tie dye t-shirt with the center being the target boob. Or some permanent red markers!
Call the pre-op and get that in place. Just do it. One more thing to put on the calendar and then scratch off when it is over.
Choosing to live is the best in spite of all our fears! Took me long enough to learn that too!
All my love,
Good Lookin
