Had a call from Jill (our cancer nurse) this morning informing us that the date for the MRI is on the 23rd June, followed by an appointment with the surgical team on the 25th June. This is excellent news and backs up the fact that the care we are receiving is top notch. I’m so pleased that we aren’t having to wait a long time before moving on to the next phase. Sam is understandably nervous about this next step as it could mean a big change for her, but we have to think positive and believe that the lump has shrunk enough for it to require just a little lumpectomy. They also want to do an ultra sound on Sam’s lymph nodes to check to see what they’re like but we won’t receive a date for that until early next week. We’ve been told that they’ll want to do that scan before the 25th June because it’s very important that the surgeons have that information before any plans are made.
Sam’s feeling a bit woozy today but the side effects aren’t due to hit until tomorrow. The steroids are keeping her afloat at the moment but they run out tonight so this time tomorrow is when she’ll start to feel worse. She’s decided to power through the next 4 or 5 days so that she can recover quicker. Looks like we’d better stock up on the pain killers and get ready for the storm to hit. Sorry babe. Xxx 😦
