Where to start....

I saw my Dr. on Friday prior to chemo. We have some tentative dates set, which gives us a better idea as to when the surgeries can take place. I have chemo the next two Fridays, that is it, all done! Then I will have a 2 week break. Following that, around Oct. 8th, I will get another mammogram and an ECHO. I then see my Dr. on Oct. 15th for a follow up. If all is good at that time then I will be cleared for surgeries. I will have to get with my surgeons to get the final details in place. But looking like the end of Oct.

My mouth sores were bad again so they took me off my oral chemo medicine for another 7 days. When I go back on it they are reducing my dose to 1000mg (one less pill a night). I will have to keep taking this until the day before my surgeries.

I ended up in Urgent Care yesterday. It appears I got something in my eye while doing yard work. It started hurting around 1pm and at 6pm I decided I had had enough and called nurse on call at St. John's. She recommended Urgent Care and sure enough i had got a cut on my eyeball. They gave me some medicine and told me to stay out of the sun, no TV, no computer, no reading for 24hrs. Well I have mostly followed the rules. It feels much better but I am a little worried about the fluorescent lights at work tomorrow. I have a patch, just in case. Won't I be a site...a patch, a bandanna, .....aahhrr Matey!!!
