All I can say is shitty day. The only good thing about today is that my mom is here!! It is so nice to have her, even though she has to self quarantine.
I met with Kate (Radiation Oncologist) and Gordon Li (Neurosurgery). The decision has been made that I’ll be getting whole brain radiation and then repeat brain MRI two months after radiation and if there is anything that is still large, they will do cyberknife (targeted radiation) to them. Both doctors feel there is too many small lesions to not treat with whole brain, and both said if it was them or family, they’d give same opinion. My trust is in them.
Tomorrow I need to be at Stanford at 8:30am for PORT placement. I also know that I need to get chemo started for all the stuff in my lungs, lymph nodes, and elsewhere. Won’t know the treatment until after the pathology results are back from my shoulder.
I never thought I’d be in this position at this point in my life. I know that I mentioned it in my “10yr cancer free” post about it being in the back of my mind. Never thought it meant this year. I was thinking more like 20-30 years plus. Most of my days I’m occupied with tests, calls, and decisions but there are days/times that I get pretty down. I’m trying to keep it all together 😕.
