Well we were back in that room again today. I packed books, snacks and socks all prepared to wait for over 2 hours for my surgeon today. This time we were in and out in about an hour. When we arrived, the receptionist asked me, "So how'd it go?" referring to chemo. How does one sum up the last 5 months in a sentence? I should have said "God is good."
We met with Dr. Peterson and since it has been 6 months I will have an MRI, mammogram and ultrasound again. All of this has to be done before I start radiation to make sure everything is clear. I don't know if it was being in the office again or having to take pictures again, but I left feeling uneasy. Almost like I'd rather go back to the chemo corner where things are known and predictable. This is how it is going to be though, taking routine images and checkups throughout the year. It just gives us more chances to reach people with cancer and tell them how I got thru it. More waiting rooms, appointments, nurses, assistants and staff, and more chances to share what God has done. He is so very good. What I Know God is good Follow up ultrasound/mammogram is on 9/13 Meet with Dr. Spiers (radiation oncologist) this Thursday 9/7 I have a radiation project in the works, more details coming soon What I Don't Know Still what I'm going to paint on my ceiling tile for the chemo corner The date for the follow up MRI Radiation start date What Made Today Normal Daniel had a meltdown because there was only 1/2 piece of cheese on his plate Praises Had a great visit this week with parents No chemo tomorrow MOMtime was awesome today Prayer Requests I have mild neuropathy in my fingers, feet and sides of my legs Some achey-ness The waiting game has returned. Waiting to take pictures, waiting for results of pictures. Although this is my routine 6 month follow up it does bring up memories of all the waiting and unknowns. Please pray for peace in the waiting. Pray for clear results. Shout Out Parents for childcare and dinner tonight Shara for diffuser bracelet Liz for Costco trip Aloha Much aloha~Nikki
