I feel like I spent most of my day in Drs. offices. I started off with blood work. They drew 7 tubes of blood, and yes that is not a typo. After that, I saw the clinical study nurse. I was put into a group for the clinical study that I have agreed to participate in. This will guide some of my chemo treatment. I then saw the medical oncologist (chemo) for a follow up. She gave me a check over and discussed the treatment plan of care. I really want to describe my specific treatment plan but it is a little complicated so I will probably make that a separate post. Finally I saw the radiation oncologist for the first time. We are not sure at this time if I will have radiation but it is a possibility. She also gave me a check over and discussed the potential plan of care. I wish I could find the right words to describe this physician. It was to say the least, truly a unique experience. I kind of liked her though, she reminded me of my dear friend Alba.
Tomorrow I finally get the results of the genetic testing (still driving me crazy not knowing) and will have chemo teaching. This is where they will discuss in detail all the specific meds I will be given, write prescription for anti nausea meds and probably give me the actual time I will start chemo. This should be sometime on Friday, March 5th.
Genetic test results tomorrow!!!!!!
