So today I had a really good day.
1. I got my surgery time for Weds and I am the first case. This means less time for panic attacks, and less time to be hungry, and all the doctors and nurses will be fresh.
2. I got the preliminary results of my genetic testing (13 genes connected to breast cancers) and they were all negative! YAY!
3. I had a lovely anti-stress massage - so needed
4. Bought a bunch of post-surgery clothes that button up the front etc.
5. Bought a few groceries
6. Took a relaxing bubble bath and soaked for a while.
Tomorrow starts all the badness. a) placement of a radioactive bead in my breast, b) injection of dye to stain lymph nodes into my breast.
I feel like I am standing on the beach, and looking out to the bay I can see a giant tidal wave heading right to me, but I'm not able to avoid it.
Send me all the good prayers for clean margins and negative nodes!
Thanks to all who are reading.
Good news on Lab results. Praying everything goes smoothly on Wed. Hugs, hugs, hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteScott and I send healing prayers your way for your surgery tomorrow and your recovery in the days and weeks ahead. It won't be easy, but you will be in good hands and you will have your friends and family by your side to cheer you on and up and be your comfort and support all along your journey to good health and being cancer free! We also hope that if you are up for some company and a meal, Scott and I can come by and spend time with you and Frank in the coming days if you are up for it. Try to stay hopeful and positive and remember, you are never alone!
