Next Hurdle-still jumping

OK, visited the oncologist with the photographic memory today. As usual, he was a wealth of information. Radiation is for sure, probably 33 treatments. He gave me the name of the radiation oncologist to contact in Los Alamitos. Surprise, surprise, there are still more tests to be done on my cancerous tumor specimens (they save those things) to decide whether or not to add chemotherapy to my treatment protocol. The oncologist is ordering an ONCO DX study to determine my rate of cancer recurrance (sp?). This score will weigh in on determining chemo or no chemo for me. We are still waiting on the results of the BRCA (breast cancer gene testing) as that may weigh in on my treatment protocol as well. When I was explaining all of this to our good friend, Russ May, basketball coach at Cerritos College he said "this is the only Jeanne (gene) you need to know about, she is right here, alive and kicking". Love those coaches. Matt lost his opening season game by a buzzer beater tonight-we were sad.
I have another oncologist appointment this Friday (moved it from Thursday so I can watch Austin and Ryan in their first JV bball game of the season). I am hand delivering all of my mammogram, MRI, Ultrasound slides and pathology reports tomorrow before Matt's game at 5PM. Life goes on and it is good!!!
Vodka/Cranberry is my medication tonight-may I sleep better than last night.
Thanks for the comments-I think the sling looked good with my plaid flannel today.
Work is good...special ed kids are oblivious and that is OK. If they are communicating, I am happy.
Love you all and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of the prayers and good thoughts.
I will keep you posted. I will keep my promises.
Love,
Jeanne
