The schedule is coming into focus. We know that my port will definitely be installed next week. Maybe. I may know on Monday exactly when this is to take place. I'll let you know. I think they are waiting on parts or cables or something. The ultrasound of my heart, or echo cardiogram, is scheduled for Monday, February 28th at 9. The PET scan is scheduled for Monday February 28th at 11. If the port gets installed next week, then it is possible that my first chemo treatment will be March 2. Should be a fun time.
I'm looking at the patient instructions for the PET scan, and a diet is listed with the following warning:
PLEASE ADHERE TO THIS DIET
Bold and underlined. It must be important. If I do not adhere to the diet, Very Bad Things(tm) may happen, I suppose. But looking at the diet, what do I see? You guessed it. Broccoli.
Don't be afraid to post comments, I appreciate any words of support. Also, if there is something about my journey you would like me to comment on, please let me know. I have a post in the works on how faith, family, and friends play a major part in all of this, so stay tuned!
Broccoli isn't that bad if you cover it with cheese at a 10 to 1 ratio...Almost hard to see the green that way..... Im with you Mike!!

ReplyDeleteKeep fighting. You're not fighting this thing alone! Malena is fighting, your kids are fighting, your family is fighting, and your friends like us are fighting. You're not alone. You're in our prayers.
Remember the green goblins (and no I'm not referring to the broccoli - although I guess you could refer to broccoli as the green goblins). Hope to see you on the 28th.
Fred, Libby, and the boys.
P.S. Jacob gives you a big hug - and you know he'll squeeze you big time.
Mike-
ReplyDeleteWe send all our love,hugs,& prayers your way! When I had my breast cancer (still in its site) I remember something the doctor said. He didn't like the feel of my lump & asked what I would do if it was cancer. I replied I would hit the ground running and do whatever I had to do. This is what I believe that you will do also. We are cheering you on along with family and friends!Hope to see you soon! Love, Libby
Shawn and I are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You can beat this!
