Well, we finally met with my oncologist on Thursday. I don't feel much further ahead, although the wheels are in motion at least. He sent me for xrays and bloodwork, and I'm waiting to be called in for a ct scan of my head and obdominal ultrasound. I am also seeing a rads oncologist on November 9. Later that day I'll see the medical oncologist again and hope to have some kind of recommended plan of action.
He talked about options such as bone building drugs, hormone therapy, rads, chemo; but nothing definitive until all the test results of in.
So I am once again in a holding pattern. A got my pain meds changed to Tylenol3 but they, like the previous ones, make me wake up feeling sick to my stomach (tossed my breakfast a couple of times).
I am feeling better about things in general, although my husband is a wreck. How do you deal with that?
Thank you all for your positive thoughts. I'll post again after the 9th and let you know what's happening.
Carol
