Had a pretty good day yesterday, with an outing for breakfast to my friend Debbie's lovely restaurant, "Knead the Dough", in Ransomville. Then to Strong Memorial Hospital to visit my friend Marty's husband Terry, in the heart transplant unit.
While on the drive back we talked to Dr Edge, who told us the results of the pathology report. The tumor was 8mm, quite small and with no spread to lymph nodes and clear margins. All good, but with it being ER negative cancer, apparently it is still a "gray" area for needing chemo or no. Chemo would be done before radiation and all that is up to the medical oncologist. We are waiting to be given an appointment. There seems to be no way to speed things up. We are hostage.
I find this very frustrating waiting, but when I think of the people waiting in the transplant unit for their lives to begin again, I feel ashamed of my impatience.
