Ken and I finally met with the Oncologist, Dr. Wilkinson. She took all my films and reviewed them. I was so nervous and crying. What is she going to tell me? What is she going to recommend? Turns out I have a slightly aggressive cancer and she is starting me with chemotherapy 1st instead of going straight to surgery. It just doesn't seem right? Everyone I've talked to who has had friends with cancer all usually had surgery 1st. Why am I having chemo 1st? I understand that mine is slightly aggressive and the doctor is recommending that we attack it with chemo to make sure we kill it but I'm so confused. Again, Ken was asking a bunch of questions and again, I was a crying mess. This is just so much information to process. I'm so overloaded and so tired.
This week is going to be tough. I have more tests to take, a chemo class to learn about what's going to happen to me and surgery on Friday for a mediport to be placed in me. I just don't understand all this stuff but I'm sure I will soon enough.
