Tests and more tests

I met with my Oncologist today. I really liked him a lot and finally felt like we were getting somewhere. I have cancer in at least two places in my right breast. Several lymph nodes in my right under arm and now I might possible have it in my Lumbar spine. Today I am having a MRI of the spine, a PET scan which shows everything in the tissue, and a Bone scan which shows anything in the bones.The doctor wants to start me on Chemotherapy right away because he says the Lymph nodes are three times larger then they should be and he wants to shrink them some before the surgery. The surgery will definitely be a Masectomy. I will probably lose all my hair. Any requests for color or styles you would like to see me in. The only good part of this is when it is all over I will get reconstruction and have perky boobs for the rest of my life.

  3. Dear Kris,

    The only colors and styles I want to see you in are CURED AND FEELING WELL.

    I talked to Louan last night. Love, Your Wicked Step-Mother.

    PS - Don't forget, I use Jessie Bishop as my user name on Google, to protect the guilty.

  4. Kris,

    I'm so happy you're doing this blog. Not only does it keep everybody up to date and not calling you night and day, but journaling itself can be therapeutic.

    I'll be reading regularly,
