Testing....Testing.....One-Two-Three

Today, I drove back to Moffitt, so that they could perform some tests in anticipation of my Chemotherapy. I am still adjusting to the fact it is going to occur, and soon! My fiddle...dee...dee avoidance tactic is soon to meet its expiration date! Yikes!!!!!

A CT scan was performed to see if any micro metastasis has occurred in my lungs since the last one done two months ago. Of course, I will not know until next Tuesday, the 22nd, when Paul and I go back to have a battery of blood tests, meet again with Dr. Conley (the chemotherapist) and get a port installed to administer the "goods.". They ran a nuclear test on my heart called a MUGA to have a baseline on my heart function before chemotherapy begins. This will be a reoccurring test during the course of my treatment. Tin Man listen up, according to the technician I do have a heart : )

What can I say but, "Today, was just another fun filled day.... In the merry old land of Oz!"

  1. Dear Kathryn , I always like to plan many months ahead ;)" living here I have to especially if I´m going to go somewhere so I buy my flight tickets early so I might get them cheaper;)" My point is,
    though those exact dates are ahead and ofcourse important but try to imagine beyond them when this is past and you can take a deep breath and enjoy the beautiful mornings waking up with your husband , going out for the morning walk with your pets , going to the studio to meet your lovely clients or making a trip to see your other friends or family and living the life to the fullest ;)"
    I´m still with you all the way, sending good thoughts and prayers.
    You are my hero ;)"
    Love, Liisa
