I got a call from surgeon’s office today, and she had a date for the cancer clinic appointment. I am to go on Feb 16th @ 12:40. So now at least I have a date. Maurice is coming with me 🙂 Once we meet with the oncologist we should be able to find out when the radiation treatments will start, and discuss options as to hormonal and chemo options. Hopefully we’ll find out when that will start as well. I imagine I’ll have to have some baseline blood work for kidney and liver function done, but I’m not 1000% sure. 🙂

It is probably nuts to be excited to have a day for the cancer clinic, but I can’t help but feel optimistic that things are moving along at a good speed. At least things are happening. They might not be good things, but I feel like I’m wading through this process one heavy step at a time. Two surgeries done, now on to the cancer agency for the next hoop!

Today I am having a visit from a couple of co workers – Helen R and Laila  so that will be a swell visit. 🙂 It’s very cheering to me to have friends come by and I so appreciate all of the emails and calls etc. I’m looking forward to seeing them.

I continue to do the physio exercises but they are hard to do to get arm extensions done as it hurts ++ in axilla and at surgical site, but the surgeon assured me that I should push through it, that the surgical site is not going to pull apart, and to try to do them as best I can to keep myself limber and prevent getting a frozen shoulder.  The neck is still bothering me today, but I’m trying my level best to just keep it in good alignment and hope that it doesn’t flare further.
