Joe and I went to our first appointment at MD Anderson today. It was a long 10 hour day of testing and meeting with the new team of doctors. I have to say...We are blown away at our experience thus far and look forward to to learning more about this hospital.
Some of this information may be too detailed, but I'm using this as a way to summarize the mountains of information that was thrown at us. MD Anderson has determined that the mass is one (instead of 2) measuring 3.35 cm long. We are still waiting on HER2 receptor results as well as the biopsy slides so that they can do their own pathology to confirm diagnosis. Assuming the path report is accurate, my current clinical stage is 2A.
I go back Friday for another full day of additional scans and tests. Then, on Nov 7th, I go back for scan results and chemo game plan (type, frequency, side effects etc...).
It feels good to have a game plan and to know that I'm in some of the best medical hands!
Thank you to everyone that called, emailed, sent texts and helped us out today. Joe and I are overwhelmed with the amount of love we feel! You make the sun shine a little brighter for us on days like these. 💓
