Another treatment crossed off the calendar- only two more if they stay with the original plan. I think Dr. Hansen was a little disappointed that this last chemo hasn't worked as well as the first ones did. When he looks at you with that serious and calculating expression, it is a little scary. But he did say he thought they could do the surgery as planned. (At least I won't have to worry about my hair!) We'll see what Dr. Garvey, the surgeon, has to say in a week or so. The weeks go by so quickly. I can't believe that it has already been six months. Talked to Dr. Garvy's PA today. She said the oncologist is the one who tells the surgeon when you are ready for the surgery - which is good news because Dr. Hansen is more positive about the surgery. Set up an appointment with Dr. Garvy on October 1 to schedule a surgery date. I'm praying she will find the cancer has receded enough to do the surgery. Although life with cancer can be consuming, yesterday was such a great day with the birth of Joe and Hannah's beautiful little baby girl!
