So today I meet with my new oncologist down at big Baylor. What a difference! Everyone there was so welcoming and wonderful. I met my oncologist's nurse who I have spoke on the phone a few times, she welcomed me with a hug. I love her! Nurses really make such the difference:) My onocologist was very knowledgeable, he spent over a hour with us going over everything. Like the other oncologist said, we have to stage it first. So I did the bone marrow biopsy today (they do that to see if it has spread to the bone marrow). It was not pleasant. Ladies if you have had an epidural it is like that but way worst. Those results come back in 7-10 days. My oncologist said that should hopefully be the only one I need. Whew, thank God thats over. Next we have to do a PET scan. So will schedule that in the next few weeks. So the best news, my oncologist said I should absolutely do embryo freezing. Thank you Lord! Since I am not symptomatic and my labs, complete blood count and comprehensive metobolic panel are great we could wait. Like he said I have had this since January or longer whats another month. So well get that going next week:) Once we get the results we will decide treatment. He said more than likely it will be CHOP-R and depending on stage might add another med. Another piece of info he said I thought was interesting is, commonly after treatment it is most likely to occur within that next year to two years, two to five not as common to come back and five year mark I get to fire my oncologist:) cancer free woohoo! So hoping the next month flies and treatment begins and then put this behind me. Again thank you everyone for being so supportive! I feel very loved:)
