I guess I shouldn't complain. My dear friend Brooke has multiple tests most days.
Dr. Leo said there are a few spots on my liver they want to check out to make sure they are not cancerous. He said 20% of people have these little lesions on their liver and the other test (no idea what is was called) came back normal so most likely it is not cancer. However, he wants to make sure. So I have a PETscan scheduled for Monday. Results should be back by Wednesday in time for my first chemo treatment on Thursday. He will call me with results on Wednesday, my chemo treatment will start at 10 a.m. and will take approximately 5 hours. My fellow cancer warrior, Christy, will be going with me the first time to show me the ropes...so to speak.
He also said my heart was very strong so he is going to change the chemo drug to something stronger. My treatment plan now consists of 6 treatments every three weeks. He wouldn't give me a straight answer when I asked if it was going to make me sicker so I'm filling prescriptions for nausea medicine now and preparing for the worst.
My mom is hosting a hat and turban party for me on Sunday from 2-4 pm. I'm looking forward to making a fashion statement this summer! Won't everyone be jealous of me at the ballpark this summer when its 98 degrees and they are sweating under all the long, thick hair? :)
