May 31: I was scheduled to have my bone scan last week, but that did not happen. When I arrived at AA Diagnostics, they were ready to inject the radioactive dye when they determined there was no time slot available for the bone study. Needless go say, this was rescheduled for today. The results came back favorable which will allow me to participate in the Study Drug.
June 1: I had another physical therapy which was quite uncomfortable. There is still deep cording which needs to be broken and stretched. I have definitely made progress and my range of motion is much better. Hopefully, once all the cords are released my visits to physical therapy will decrease.
I received a call from the Study Drug Nurse and before the drug is administered, I need to have a mammogram, physical, and more bloodwork before Friday. I am baffled why they want to proceed with the mammogram. My last surgery was only 5 weeks ago. Besides, the mammogram did not pick up my cancer, it was the ultrasound. I was told ultrasounds and MRIs are too expensive. OMG...I am getting very irritated by the ignorance!
June 2: I had blood drawn which is necessary before Chemo - they need the baseline before treatment 2. Then, the mammogram. The technician had me positioned, compressed the machine on me and said, "oh wait a minute, I forgot to reset the computer from the last image.". My response..."hurry up". Ouch!
June 3: It will be a busy day at the hospital. I have to have the study drug bloodwork drawn in the morning, followed by my physical, then the study drug injection. My last stop will be at the Infusion Center for Chemo Treatment 2. It will be a long day 10am - 5pm. I have to follow up for the Neulasta shot on June 5.
It was a very busy and overwhelming week...not as I planned.
By the way, I decided to take control of what I can control. I shaved my head, one less stress. Bald is beautiful, so I have been told.
Have a great weekend everyone!! :0)
