Thursdee 11/3/11

Hullo All,

Just thought I'd give ya a quick update since I mentioned in the last blog that I had a mammogram scheduled, to let you know that it was clear.  Had it yesterday right after treatment #10, and here they don't even let you change outta your gown till a radiologist reads the scan and gives the all-clear.  So, that's one less thing to worry about.  Well, two things, I guess.  :o)

Treatment #11 today, on the downhill side now.  It was Thursdee so I met with Dr. King afterwards, and we basically just chatted.  No new questions today, nuthin new to report.  He's such a delight to speak with.  He reminded me that about a month after I'm done with treatment, I'll have my MRI.  I asked him to please schedule it and my appt with him for the delivery of results, well in advance, and no matter what, his office would not call me after the MRI but prior to my scheduled appt w/ him, to come in early.  I said there's not much worse than when you get that kind of call.  He said "Well, how bout you come in and have the scan, then come down here and we read it together, at the same time."  RIGHT ON.  Love this guy.  I cannot remember the conversation we were havin at the end of my appt, but it triggered my friend Shawna to tell Dr. King "Wear your glasses!  You need to wear your glasses!"  and I immediately told him NOT to wear them when he reads my scan, and that way he can honestly say, no matter what, "I don't see a thing!"  Of course, he will be saying that anyway, cuz that's how its gonna be, but it gave him a good tickle, anyway. 

Ok, so, nine more to go....just a little tired and queasy, same story different day.  Payin attention, figurin out what works, what doesn't, which nurses are the best, which ones Ican joke with, which ones just don't get it...All is well. 

Joy will be here next week - Saturday the 12th, for the week, so, lookin forward to havin her here.  She'll be here for my last treatment, which is possibly just about when my butt will be draggin the most. We'll see. 

Ok, just wanted to letcha know the mammogram was clear, so, yay.  Don't know why I had to keep goin and add so much fluff, but thanks for hangin in there. 

Y'all have a day and a wonderful weekend!

Love!
