Feb. 12, 2014 is the big day.
We would have loved to do it sooner. We thought we might get scheduled before Christmas or in early January, but given the choice, I’d much rather have Dr. DeSnyder performing the surgery. So we will wait for her to return from maternity leave.
I’ll start with the good news.
The good news is that when we come to MD Anderson, I get to eat this:
I started this post a few weeks ago – closer to Thanksgiving, but didn’t finish it. Pardon the lack of timeliness. Then again, this shouldn’t be something that is talked about once a year anyway so I guess I take back the pardon request.
Alan and I flew to Houston at the crack of dawn this morning. Today was about meeting with the oncologist to discuss the result of the scans (has it spread?) and get final chemo recommendation.
While the appointment wasn’t as fruitful as we had hoped, it was worth coming.
My normal oncologist was not in the office so as planned, we met with her colleague. He was a lot different than she is, and we liked him quite a lot. He went through all of my scans, and the great news is NONE OF THE SCANS SHOW ANY METASTASIS!
I’m a little late in posting this, but my surgery that was scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed to Dec 20. The surgeon did not want to do it while I was still fighting this infection.
It’s been a long day, but it’s almost over.
Jenny is currently in the clinic bed at MD Anderson getting her day’s dose of antibiotics through the IV. Tomorrow, I’ll be able to administer the meds at home.
Jenny was discharged from the hospital this morning after her white blood cell count registered at 10 this morning. Since leaving the room at 11 a.m., we’ve been running from building to building for the bone scan, the CT scan, going to the Pharmacy and getting blood drawn in preparation for surgery next week.
