So much to do, so little time. That has been the story of my life lately with the business, but now it is trying to coordinate my doctors appointments and wrap up business and work stuff.
The surgeon also called and said the oncologist wants her to do a sentinel lymph node biopsy. Wha? I thought I Was good because my nodes were not swollen, but I guess she wants to make sure because it will affect how many chemo treatments I have. Ok, I get it now, but that is scheduled for Monday, yikes! It requires general anesthesia, but no drains (yippee). I guess this is normal procedure for during the tumor removal surgery but since I am doing that after chemo in the hopes of having a lumpectomy and the oncologist wants the info to make chemo decisions it needs to be done this way. I can't say I am happy about going under general anesthesia twice, but I would prefer a lumpectomy. But if they don't get clear margins I may need a mastectomy (think Giuliana Rancic).
Monday is the only day the surgeon is available to do this so on top of my million appointments I need to squeeze in preop info and reschedule my appointments for Monday. Chemo orientation was scheduled for then, and I hope it will answer a lot of my questions.
On another note I talked with HR and it looks like I will get close to 100% of my income in disability, if I can fill out the paperwork correctly. Work has been really accommodating and flexible which is nice not to have that stressing me out :-)
