Second Opinion Day
Today is the day we have been waiting months for . . . our second opinion. I am still unsure of my feelings. Am I excited, nervous, scared, happy, or freaked out? I really don't know so I think unsure is the best word to describe my feelings at this very moment. I am sure part of the reason is because this round of chemo has kicked my ass and then add bronchitis and a closing and move to a new house in a new town on top of it - unsure seems fitting. We just haven't had too much time to think about it.
But today is the day. We are on are way to Pearson to fly to New York to speak to a few doctors at Cornell. They have all my medical records, imaging and reports up to this point. They even have the results from MRI completed on May 1st, which I still have not received. I think that is part I am anxious over. I want to know of the chemo is working and how big the second lump is in comparison to now versus prior to chemo. Kind of crazy when you think of it . . . I am going all the way to New York to get my MRI results.
Okay, so the one thing that is lil drag on the Canadian healthcare system - sometimes you have to wait a bit longer for results. However, to date, we have spent about $300 total out-of-pocket for anything medical related since November of 2015! Pretty amazing when you think about it. No co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance, etc. Just $65 or less every time we pick up my prescriptions.
Almost to the airport . . . wish us luck and an update to follow.

Good Luck Boobie--keep your head up higher than the doctors--know whatever information they give you--you are still the stronger one---you have conquered what you can thus far by making it through all those treatments and remaining positive and doing your absolute best daily. Thinking of you and your family and sending lots of prayers, hugs, and energy to handle what the next steps will be from the New York doctors.
