Time has passed slowly since my last post and I must admit to a little boredom and despondency over the past week. Those of you who know me, will understand that waiting patiently is not one of my strongest attributes so this has been a difficult time for they Admiral and I.
The days do pass and I even got some beer can racing in on Wednesday with my old pals in Coronado. Other excitement includes renting a machine and shampooing all the carpet in the apartment. What joy!
The Oncotype DX test did not get sent until after Labor Day and was only received in the lab yesterday so we will have to wait now until the 19 th. of September to get a decision regarding chemotherapy.
There was some activity today and we went to see the radiation oncologist at UCSD who thought that the admiral was a good candidate for partial breast irradiation delivered through a special catheter. The good news is that this can be given in one week only, as opposed to 6-7 weeks of external beam whole breast radiation. Ann starts on Monday with a CT scan and treatment beings on Tuesday.
So at least one mode of therapy will be done before we have to consider chemo.
