I have spent the past 6 weeks taking all sorts of fun (and by fun, I mean not fun at all) tests: ultrasounds, mammograms, two different types of biopsies (spoiler alert – they both suck), a bone scan, a CT… and I’m not done yet. I’m still waiting on genetic testing.
Since a lot of these tests have involved drinking copious amounts of water beforehand (and, in one case, also drinking 3 giant glasses of contrast liquid) and then drinking even more water after to flush out whatever it was they injected into me for the test itself, I have never been more hydrated! So there’s that!
The culmination of all of these tests is tomorrow’s appointment with the medical oncologist where I will (hopefully) finally get specifics on my next steps. Once I finish processing what I expect will be a massive amount of information, I will keep you all updated. In the meantime, I will leave you with photos of me having a bone scan (by far, the least sucky of all of the tests), courtesy of my sister who was kind enough to keep me entertained throughout. Good thing I’m not claustrophobic!
