Tuesday's MRI

Bottom line, this test is easy. That being said, it totally freaked me out! I had been prepared for it being loud from a number of you and was ready. It still kinda sucked laying face down for over 35 minutes with nothing but my thoughts. Also, having an IV meant weird stuff traveling who knows where in my body resulting in my not being able to feed Presley for 24 hours. She was given her first bottle last night, but isn't really a fan just yet. When a baby gets hungry, tho, she'll eat right?

From what I understand, this MRI was ordered to see if there are any other spots the cancer may be lurking while my treatment plan is being finalized. Won't get any info on this until Monday's meeting with the surgeon.

Next step: ultrasound tomorrow & possible biopsy on a suspicious lymph node. In other words, more tests & more waiting.

Other than that, please believe that I'm feeling healthy (ironic, no?) as ever. To see me now you wouldn't even know. I'm hoping that will make treatments easier on my body. I guess time will only tell.

Thanks for your prayers! I am feeling your peace daily. My specific prayer needs at this time are: that I'm at a Stage 2 (vs. Stage 3 depending on that pesky lymph node) which wouldn't require radiation and that a reconstruction surgery could be done simultaneously with a mastectomy (if that's the surgery chosen). TMI boys?

I appreciate your help with everything so far :)
