Test Results Day

Today was a bit of a stressful day. My appointment to see my oncologist was at 1:30 and for the second time in a row my oncologist was away, on holidays this time. I saw the same replacement doctor as last time. Again this was frustrating as I had prepared a long list of question, all of which I asked, but most of which couldn't be answered by this doctor. I did however receive good test results. The results were very vague but still positive. I can't remember exactly how it was worded but all it said in the report about my bone scan was something along the line of the bone is "less effected" than before and there are no new effected spots. The CAT scan report said that my left breast is still larger than my right...whatever that means...they don't tell you how large the tumor is. And also this scan said that the lymph nodes under my arm could no longer be detected. The doctor also examined me and said that the tiny lumps under my arm are likely scar tissue, not cancerous...and she said that my cancerous breast was not much different than the healthy breast. These results were all good, though it was still a little bit frustrating as the doctor was very emotionless and it almost seemed like I was getting bad news as I receiving this good news. I still have lots of questions and I'm still wondering what the next step will be after chemo but I guess I will have to wait until next appointment to figure that out. I think the next three weeks will be good ones though. I am feeling good, I know things are working and I have to just keep being strong and positive! Chemo day #4 tomorrow.
