I met with Dr. Toma about a month ago. I was on the hunt for a new oncologist, and her name kept popping up. As I said in my previous post, I felt pretty sold on her the second I spoke with Vicki in her office. Until you have left a trail of medical records over the course of two years, you can’t understand how nice it is to have someone help you like she did.

New oncologist: I’m moving on
It’s not me, it’s them.
Well, maybe it is a little of both. In the past 14 months that I’ve been going to the OU Stephenson Cancer Center, I’ve definitely had some ups and downs. Unfortunately, I feel the like downs outnumber the ups.
Recon Recovery: Things are looking up
Things are looking up, guys.
As of Friday, I am drain free! I can’t tell you how happy I am!
Ultrasound results: Good news!
We made our way down to Houston (taking a whole new route through Waco, I might add) yesterday. We started the morning off early at MD Anderson by getting an ultrasound on the infamous lump.
Ultrasound showed that I have a mixture of fat and scar tissue that are forming the big lump. According to the doctor, “We are comfortable with the look and have no concerns.”
Music to our ears.
Recon Recovery Week 5: Quick update
As suspected, my doctor would like me to get imaging done of the lump under my arm. Alan and I are headed to Houston in the morning for Tuesday appointments. If it is nothing, I will know quickly. If it is something they want to biopsy, I imagine it will take a day or two to get the results.
I’ll keep everyone posted.
PS: I still have one stupid drain and it just won’t slow down. Boo.
Recon Update Week 4: Three more gone
It’s a great day. A REALLY great day.
As of 2:15 p.m., I am three drains lighter. It’s amazing how much better I feel.
I can’t WAIT to sleep for 7-8 uninterrupted hours tonight.
