Part 4

After I seen Dr Chow on the 4th. It was the following week I had appointment for a Bone Scan on the 11th of Aug. And had appointment with a Dr. Bayouth on the 12th of Aug. to talk about putting in a port. And then on the 16th of Aug. had appointment for a CT Scan. They really hit me hard with all those appointments at once. Needless to say my work was not happy about it. But what can you say it was beyond my control. Sure I could have reschedule them all and give them a 10 days request off. But didn't want to why should when you have cancer you want to get it taken care of and get things rolling why wait.

On Aug. the 18th had appointment with the Oncologist Dr Oommen. La Sha and Jonathan went with me to that appointment. This is what he had to say after he examine me. My breast is 90% cancer. We would first try chemo. My chemo was set up to be done every other week. The day after chemo I go back and get a shot. The shot was to bring back up my blood cells to keep from getting any infections. The following week after chemo I had lab done. It seem like it was something every week. He also explain that the chemo was to get the tumor smaller before surgery. Just for the fact that the tumor was so big that if they remove it now there would not be enough skin to close up the incision. When I go back to see him on chemo day he would measure tumor. If the chemo was not doing its job then we have a back up plan Hormone Therapy. He wanted to get aggressive with the cancer first by using chemo.

Stay tune for my first chemo treatment.
