Argh!
I went over to the lab and got blood sucked out of me again, for the...um... fourth time since September?? This was for the thyroid study so I can't blame them but if I had known about it earlier, I could have consolidated them a bit better and avoided being poked so many times.
Just as she was going to stab me, the phone rang. It was the famous intern to told me simply that I wasn't "enough healed" to start radiation and that my apt. for today was cancelled.
Okay fine. But then she mentioned fifteen days.
Fifteen days?!? Okay, if I had some nasty, immense infection but I'm almost done. Ugh!
Luckily, I made an apt. with Dr. G so I'll get his opinion on this matter. He was happy with it!
I'm wondering if I should say fine, let's wait to January... Then run to a travel agent and try to get a last minute deal to salvage our Christmas break!
Maybe not...
I guess I got to go with the flow...
Found out that someone I know is being operated on for almost the same, exact thing. Unlike myself, it was completely a surprise. No family history, etc. She has taken it on board completely differently than I have. She has not told many people and doesn't want to talk about it. I respect that but I wish I could tell you that it's all going to be okay!
Some women are more discrete and it might be their way of coping. They also might get more support closer to them. Mine is kind of sent over the miles!
I have been rather open about this all but perhaps it's because I've been, in a way, living with this possibility for so long. The boogie man who finally came out of the closet after almost 30 years and we jumped on him as soon as he did. I also want to urge women to get checked. I hope her outcome is as good as mine was! Maybe not so long a wait for the radiation??
