well, i had my big day in the city going to see the oncologist and then the surgeon. it was an interesting long ass day. when i saw the oncologist, a young guy it was obvious that he had not spent one minute on my chart before entering. ok, i get it, maybe he has been real busy. but then he does not seem to have a clue---so he asks me why do i think i am there.
i just looked at him a minute cause i figured it was a stalling measure while his brain gathered itelf--i dutifuloy recited the steps i had taken to discover i had breast cancer.
i asked him some questions, he was kinda vague so i let it go. then i went to the surgeon and she was great, explained everything real well, out front, heres what we got to do sort of thing.
so they want surgery to take out a chunk about the size of a lemon she said. will also sample the lyphs just in case and to make sure they are clear of cancer cells. then 4-6weks recovery and then 3 weeks of radiation. no chemo at this stage.
i asked about her treating people who used alternative treatments and she was not thrilled but said it would be fone for supporting but the core is the surgery and radiation.
for radiation id have to go to the springs nad live there cause i cant go back and forth to the springs every day. there is a guest house attached to the hospital so id stay there while undergoing treatment sometime in november i think.
i dont want to deal with it o i tiold them id put it off until my post op visit.
i dont want radiation.
i have been taking the cannabis paste / oil and am almost up to high dose. it makes me groggy and sleepy until i adjust to the higher dose. heck the surgery is not until 9/10 there is a good
chance that will do a real number on the tumor before the surgery.
a friend is going to have to take me, and they wnat me to spend the night in the guest house then too after the surgery to make sure i am alright. id rather just come home and go to bed, so i will see how that works out.
so, moving forward but next big step is the surgery and the tests done from that to make sure it has not spread.
