Doctor Visit

Two days since the last update and we did nothing cancer related. We went to church on Sunday and relaxed. Yesterday, I started walking and then did nothing until bunco. We were short a few players, but it didn't stop us! Our hostess had very tasty snacks, we played, laughed, and enjoyed each others company. It was wonderful to be out with caring girlfriends! (Oh, I also won! Yeah!)
I got to go back to see the surgeon again today! He was very happy with my surgical site (my arm pit). He ripped off some of the steri-strips (and I do mean ripped). He apologized, but the smile was evil! He did a couple of snips and said he was very happy with the way I am healing.
I am trying to improve my health for this ordeal, so I started on Monday. A dear friend and neighbor at school agreed to help me out and be my exercise buddy. So we walked on Monday, rode bikes today, and tomorrow the plan is to do the machines. I asked and got permission from my doctor to exercise my arm. He was all for it. So my plan is to alternate the 3 activities. I am starting out slowly and hope to build up my strength and stamina. Thank you to LW , for being my exercise buddy.
My doctor had received a request from the oncologist to put in a port. So we set the date for another surgery for June 22nd to put in the port. He showed me where he would put it under my collar bone on the right side under the skin. I took the paperwork and pre-registered at the surgery center.
Now, the next step, is to have the Braca test on Friday. Friday will be a busy day with the Braca test at 1:30 and then the Pet scan at 3:30. We will be going to locations that I am not familiar with (and I am directionally challenged), so I am very glad that Ken is able to go with me. As soon as we get these tests results, we will know more about my total diagnosis. I hope it doesn't take to long to get all the results. Sounds like an opportunity for a lesson in patience is about to be upon me! It is what it is!
