Scheduling

Tomorrow, Apr 12:        09:00 med shrink, after GP blood draw to check acidosis possibility (not likely but needs to be checked).
Friday, Apr 13:         14:30 breast MRI to assure cancer is only in left breast.  (probably need films) Founders Building

Tuesday, Apr 17:        12:45 GP for blood pressure check and adjustment if needed to BP meds
                        17:00 oncologist Dr. Paul (bring films) Founders building 4th floor
Thurs, Apr 19   16:00 housemate, kiddo and I hair cut
Friday, Apr 20  12:00 Pre-op with surgeon, Dr. Miller

Tuesday, Apr 24 Surgery in afternoon, check in to hospital in morning for injection of dye for sentinel node biopsy.  Fasting since midnight. Timing details tomorrow.  The sprog's progress report will be mailed out this day as well.
Wednedsay Apr 25        Most likely still in hospital
Thursday, Apr 26        home barring complications.

Some time the next week the drain should come out.  I'll probably have several follow up appointments, but those are kind of "by ear."  If the sentinel node is clean and the MRI shows no additional problems, it will be a simple mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy. 

        
If the MRI shows involvement of the right breast as well, I'll need to reschedule the surgery.  It'll still be in about the same time frame, maybe a couple days delay.  I'm rather counting on the MRI coming back clean.

I'm going to need reading material, so if you're interested, please check my amazon wish list (This is a suggestion, NOT a demand):

(If you get me something without ordering it through the list, please let me know, so I can take it off the list to avoid duplication!)
