So much to do

Finally got the CT, MRI, Bone Scan and Muga scheduled. Actually, they had scheduled them already and each department just needed to let me know when. All four were scheduled on days I am working. Which would have meant asking for all four days off..... I managed to get each one scheduled during hours I am not working. WHEW.....

I wish I did not have to work during this journey.

I wish I had someone to help me thru this period of my life.

I wish I had someone to hold me and tell me that I will be alright.


If I started taking pictures of bras as away of tracking my own journey--long before I had breast cancer, then today this is how I am feeling :-(

Normally, I carry a few of the Sisters in the trunk of my car, just in case I see a good location to get photos. Today, however, this foto op found me, sort of. My camera died a few days before Christmas. When I saw this bra, I knew I had to go back to get the foto. El Jay had a cheap little camera and I can use it.  It was kind of dreary looking out. A bit windy. I really, really wished I had my camera, but.... I am at that place in life where i simply have to make do with the resources i have. Yes? I added contrast and upped the saturation and I kind of like the results.

Meeting With Oncologist

I guess I am finally getting somewhere. I met with the specialist today. I like her. I have a bunch of tests to take before I can meet with the surgeon.

The UNM Cancer Center is an amazing building and I missed my camera. I would have liked to document this stage of my journey. I did use my cell phone camera, but I have no idea how to download those pictures.

When I arrived and was checking in I was given this handy dandy bag to keep all of my important paperwork into. I look at it as my absolute favorite Christmas gift and I will cherish it. Everyone needs a UNM Cancer Center tote bag. Yes? Yes, I am being sarcastic.





I took this using Logan's camera and i included the other garbage from this appointment ;-)
