Well, as it turns out, I had an echocardiogram and not an EKG yesterday. I don't even know what an EKG is... but the echo was an ultrasound of my heart. I kept my eyes open for this test ;-) as I was able to see my heart pump on the screen and even hear it beat, in a variety of different ways. It was definitely the coolest and least scary test so far.
Tomorrow, I have an appointment with my oncologist to get the results of my CT scan (see if the cancer has spread further than my breast and lymph node) and then my first chemo treatment. I was told I would be there all day long. I really have no idea what to expect but was very happy to hear that I will not be having a port put in for the chemo, just a plain old IV.
Had my last pre-chemo mountain bike ride tonight. I felt slightly nervous as I was trying not to scrape myself on bushes and stuff.

I'm looking forward to our first post chemo ride and many more after that. I'm only 5 minutes from Hogue and available at all times to engage in gossip and yuks.
ReplyDeleteGeneral I was shocked to hear this but you are tough and will kick the cancer's ass. I'm pulling for you. I'll do a crazy run in your honor. Wait I already do that. ;)
