Tumor Board...

So it's been almost a week now and the patch is working pretty good...now that I'm actually wearing the patch and not just the cover :)

I emailed Dr. Hui again in regards to surgery and apparently she'd left a message on my voicemail at work. Since I didn't work at all last week, I didn't realize that she'd called. She said that after speaking with Dr. Bodai, they've decided to take my case to the "Tumor Board" to discuss whether or not I will be having surgery to remove the tumor in my breast or not. The Tumor Board meets the 4th week of the month and they've already met for June, so we'll have to wait for the July meeting in order to find out. Sheesh!!

So...here we go, about to start my 9th month of chemotherapy. I've had 24 treatments so far. I'm currently off this week, but will see Dr. Hui on 7/07 for a check-up and start treatment #25 on 7/08. Last night I went to my first Kaiser Breast Cancer Support Group, which is run by the Oncology Social Worker, however, nobody showed up other than myself :( He said that there's usually a regular group of gals (4-5 of them) and that maybe the weather kept them home...it was well over 100 degrees yesterday. Although it was just the two of us, I'm still glad that I went. I was able to find out a little bit about the group and where it's located for the next meeting. He said that he's planning on having some key speakers and key topics for the meetings which sounded very interesting. There's no meeting next week (due to the holiday), but I'm looking forward to the following week.

Today is a new day and I'm HAPPY to be alive!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
