MRI Complete

My MRI was done today. The technician repeatedly commented on how "beautiful" my pictures were coming out... So being the kind of person that I am, I looked for the underlying message she was trying to deliver. What does beautiful mean to an MRI tech? Does she mean that the tumors are crystal clear or not there anymore?????? Wishful thinking on my part???? I really don't know. She was really trying to be encouraging but that could just have been her part in trying to keep me from breathing while she was scanning (I was holding my breath throughout parts of the scan.)

I was able to get her to expedite my results and the ensuing report to facilitate my appointment on Thursday with Dr. Newman, my surgeon. So Scott and I will head to see our favorite doc, Dr. Newman. While we don't feel anyone really wants to do another surgery right now, he is willing to see us and sort through all of our options. It's not really within the realm of my treatment plan right now but we are so very grateful that he has taken such a liking to us and he willing to help in any way that he can. I have to say, just that act, has given me such comfort.

These past few days have been difficult, I'm not going to lie. I am sure darker days are ahead but I have faith. I have to...my kids need me to be strong. It has been difficult.

Thursday will hopefully be a very productive day. Scott will be with me to pick me up if need be. I'll keep you posted.


Oh and the radiation seems to have killed my ovary :( I will have another doctors appointment to look into that first week in October. I will spare the male visitors the details but no I'm not pregnant...just suffering the effects of radiation therapy.
