Anti-Fog

I had a dear friend bring me a gift of Rain-X anti fog today.  What a way to start my day down a new path!

My cancer free weekend began with my awesome college friends bringing me a "care package" and helping me laugh and enjoy some time with old friends.  It was hard not to think about the "pink elephant" in the room but I tried to be positive.  It ended Sunday with family and being reminded that I have two GPS's in my life.  I need to remember that God is my main GPS and He will travel this journey with me.

Today was the first appointment with my oncologist, Dr. John Davis.  I thoroughly trusted him and felt he has my best interest in hand.  As we discussed my case he agreed that we still don't have all the facts.  After our discussion he felt we needed to biopsy those areas on the left breast that are in question.     Unfortunately the doctor that will perform this procedure is on spring vacation with his family.  We will schedule it next week.  As of now I am planning on doing a lumpectomy on the right breast with radiation treatments and hormone therapy.  This all may change after I speak to the surgeon again but this is the tentative plan.  AND plans my change after the surgery and the pathology reports become available.  The left breast is still in question.

In the meantime I have a consultation with our family doctor tomorrow.  He has been our family physician for over 30 years and I need to make sure he is in agreement with these decisions.  I totally know he will "shoot it straight" to me.

My fog is getting lighter and I know will be gone for the later part of the week because I will be able to spend a few days with my grandkids.  We have some fun activities planned and there's no better way for me to be fog free for a few days.

Thanks for all the offers to do something but right now we are doing fine.  I feel all of your hugs, thoughts and prayers.

Have a good week.
