Jeff will update in a few hours when I’m out.
Ready for surgery with a fancy hat.
Tomorrow is surgery!
This was the view out our window while I had my pre-surgery prep call with the doctor. That has to be sign!
I’m feeling good and ready to get this cancer crap done. It will be laproscopic and I go home same day. It’s about a two hour surgery. They are taking out some lymph nodes just to be absolutely sure they got all the cancer.
So this time tomorrow I’ll be back in our air bnb resting and having Jeff wait on me. Jeff and maybe me will update the blog tomorrow!
Test results are good. Cancer does NOT seem to have spread!
I haven’t talked to the doctor yet, but the results are posted on my chart and look good. No spread!
I still need surgery on Thursday so they can be sure but it’s looking good. Also want to point out I am not nude in this picture. I accidently bought a shirt the same color as my skin. It looked better in the store dressing room when I bought it precovid when you could still try things on.
And now a gin and tonic
Back on Thursday
Pleased to say UCSF was great today. Feel good about surgery there in a few days.
And now coffee!
Sign on the door of the room I’m waiting in.
Going nuclear
I am just waiting for the scans to begin they gave me an IV and told me they’re putting glucose and a small bit of radiation into my veins. On the way into the room the sign read nuclear medicine. Really hoping I glow in the dark later.
Low carb pre pet scan day.
Good thing I’m not getting a cholesterol test tomorrow. I had to be low carb today to prep for tomorrows test. I had eggs, bacon, cheese and steak. There were a few veggies, but mostly just meat which was pretty delicious.
Having fun in San Fran
We’re having fun in San Fran. Lots of outdoor dining and mask wearing so hopefully avoiding covid. Now that we are here the anxiety of actually getting here is gone.
Jeff said he now understands hot flashes. Last night we were cold since it was 45 degrees and we were eating outside. At one point i had a hot flash threw off my winter coat and moved away from the heat lamp and sat there in a tee shirt and still was sweating.
