So, I had my PET scan this morning. I had stress dreams allllll night about it last night. It was ri-di-cu-lous. Needless to say, I was super tired. But, the technician said (after I probed pretty hard) that if anything was there, it wasn't big enough to be obvious to him. So, that has me placated for a while, at least until my appointment with Dr. Le.
I had rescheduled my chemo to be closer to the PET scan time, so we didn't have hours of lag in between. However, there was a snafu in communication with the receptionist. She had called me back right after I rescheduled to say that since the PET scan results wouldn't be back in time, and Dr. Le didn't want to meet with me until the PET scan results were in (maybe "technically" couldn't meet with me until then?) that we would have to reschedule my doctor's appointment. However, I didn't understand that the doctor's appointment and the chemo were a package deal; I can't do one without the other. So, I showed up thinking I was going to just go straight into chemo and skip the doctor's appointment (which I normally have right before chemo). But, I found out otherwise. Part of me is annoyed, because I don't want to stretch the 6 months out (and because it throws off my schedule for next week). Part of me is relieved because I have still been very weak this past week ever since the whole sickness last Tuesday before Thanksgiving. So, I guess this will give me extra time to build up my stamina. I was worried that this would throw off my schedule to make Christmas week a chemo week, but they said that we could skip that week. So I'll be feeling REALLY good for Christmas! I feel bad that I made mom come all the way down for the chemo and then just drive me back to my apartment though. Coulda woulda shoulda. At least I'll be feeling good for John's birthday!
