Biopsy~Nothing says HOT!!! like a hosptal gown

Ok, where did I so dramatically end the last post? I just reread it and boy did I create some mystery there. Your welcome! So the CT scan showed numerous growths throughout my chest and left side of my neck. Also my spleen is enlarged, which could be in reaction to the cancer or it has spread there. So Bob and I were off to meet the surgeon. There was some discussion between two surgeons whether they should go into my chest or neck. They decided chest and told me the neck was more risky because of veins and nerves. The DR. Said the only risk of a chest biopsy was that if I started bleeding then they would have to cut open my chest plate. Ummmmm....no thanks! I thought that sounded pretty serious and asked how that could possibly be better then my neck. We reviewed my CT scans and she said she would think about it more and let my know on the morning of my surgery. Tuesday 4/16. That morning Dr. David told me that she had decided to get the tissue sample from neck, yahoo! I was so relieved. The morning was not a serious one, we had fun with nurses. Bob and my mom came with me, while my dad got the boys ready for school and dropped them off. I was out of surgery and home in about 3 hours. I picked up pain medication and went to bed. That night Bob took the kids to Awana and my friend Lori came over and kept me company. I had been freaked out by the idea of loosing my hair and thinking of how I would cut it. So Lori downloaded an app that allowed us to play with hairdos on my face. We laughed so hard I am surprised I didn't pop a stitch. How many 30ish yr old women with kids and jobs get to lay in bed and watch movies and giggle with thier best friend. It was so fun! I am so thankful for all the help I had that day. It really took a community. Thank you to Jill for picking up Ian and my dad and mom and my sweet husband. Everyone worked together and the day was a success.
