Well, it was a LONG day. JB and I left this morning at 6:40 for MD Anderson. My first stop was the mammogram. Next was the ultrasound. They did see some irregularities in one of my lymph nodes. So, I got poked and prodded again with the Fine Needle Aspiration biopsy (FNA). But we got GOOD NEWS! The preliminary report of the FNA biopsy showed no cancer in that lymph node! All of that before 11! I had about an hour break for lunch. I reported back for an IV preparing me for the bone scan. I sat around till 3. Then they could do the bone scan. I had to repeat the full bone scan twice, the pelvic region twice, and then they wanted to do a cat scan of the pelvic region (that was not planned). So what should have taken about 30 minutes was about a hour and a half. We didn't get home till 5:30.
Thanks to one of our contacts we have a patient relations person following us around. She has met us at each of our appointments. She makes sure all of needs are attended to. She showed us a special waiting room that is off the grid that we have access to. It is quiet, has a computer and TV, snacks and drinks, and tons of GOOD magazines! JB was excited about this because all the other waiting rooms have NO magazines, just 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles. Whew!
I have nothing going on tomorrow or Thursday. One more cat scan on Friday and then I meet with the doctor again on Monday. I will post again if I get any new information!
I love you all!!!! I am so blessed with awesome family & friends!

That is some wonderful news about the FNA test! I'm so happy that you have been able to get into MDA and schedule the numerous tests so quickly. In no way an easy schedule but still a blessing.
