So today was the first time I had alone to really let this sink in ..... WTF is all I have to say. It was an emotional start to my day at 6:30am when Marcel left for work I got up like usual and headed out to the kitchen but this time it was different I had to stop and take my bone strengthener medication first before doing anything else. As I am not allowed to take it with food. Then I decided I should probably sit down and let everyone know what's going on. So I grabbed my laptop and signed on FB, hmmm what do you say and how do you tell people? Well I go with the no frills attached approach, within minutes positive comments and thoughts started to arrive. "Ok it's out there" I think to myself now time for me to do a little research.
I head over to my trusty website google and type in Breast Cancer to metastisize bone....I go to WEBMD and have a read. (Please do not believe everything you read on the internet is in the back of my head.) Yep idiot you shouldn't have started to read about it here come the tears. I pull myself back together and carry on with my day off to Costco and lets get my trailer packed I am going camping for a week to Glimpse Lake with Marcel and the Bears (my parents.) I get through most of the day pretty good with only a few teary eyed moments.
At 2:00pm I go to see my surgeon Dr. Wiggins for a consultation to get a portocath reinstalled. My appt for the day surgery is booked for July 22. Not sure what time yet I have to call the day before. I will have a follow up visit with him on July 31 to make sure all is good. Now I am just waiting for all the other appts to be booked.
Next is Radiation so I need to have a consultation with Dr. Lester to discuss the plan that appt should be soon. Then I need to have a PET scan in Vancouver some time and on to Chemo in Sept I am guessing. I shall keep you all posted.
