I have had multiple appointments and tests since my last post, but we still haven't come to an actual first course of treatment. My patience have certainly been put to the test.
The tumor board will be meeting on Monday, June 23rd. ALL of my lab results should be in, Lord willing, to help them advise me on the best decision in my course of treatment.
I should have a new post for you in the next few days.
Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

“Let Me See Your Breasts.”
“Let me see your breasts.”
I wanted to respond with, “That’s the worst pick up line I’ve ever heard,” but I refrained because it was my plastic surgeon making the request and I didn’t think he would get the humor in my response.
In the past two weeks I have had two more mammograms, an MRI, and another biopsy of the growing tumor plus an additional biopsy of another area of the breast tissue.
Today, I had a consultation with my plastic surgeon, “Dr. D,” which was fruitless because a course of treatment has not yet been established (immediate mastectomy OR chemotherapy for a predetermined number of weeks followed by a mastectomy).
My surgical oncologist, “Dr. B,” ordered all of the tests that I have had since May 22nd to help her determine my course of treatment, but my biopsy (the last procedure in this series of tests) results won’t be ready by the time I see her for my follow up appointment tomorrow (Thursday, June 12th). Dr. D suggested that I cancel Thursday’s appointment, but if I do, I won’t see Dr. B until she comes back from vacation after June 26th, so I’m keeping my appointment.
I was really hoping to have more answers by the end of this week, however, my patience continue to be stretched like a snail’s yawn. I suppose I’ll just keeping waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
I'm reminded of this bible verse: Proverbs 13:12
One day I will be cancer free!
