Hurry up and wait!

We rushed me through all of the doctor appointments and testing and now I have to wait until next week to get my results. They were ready Friday, but my surgeon was in Texas at a breast cancer conference/seminar or something so I'll have to wait til she's back to call me. However, she's doing surgery on my friend Monday morning so I don't know when she'll get to my test results.

I did receive a notice that my LEFT breast is cancer free. Woo hoo! However, I knew that anyway. The surgeon has already gotten authorization from my insurance company to do a lumpectomy. So, if that's what the PETscan shows, then we'll be doing surgery within a week or so. Call me crazy, but I'm kinda hoping for the "or so." This is our last year for Moore War and this whole coming week is spirit week. Not to mention, next Friday IS Moore War. My last time to officially wear my camo. I really don't want to miss it. Especially since this is my first year as a teacher.

Oh, and a side note, I got my teacher certificate today! I'm a full fledged teacher now. I will get my first paycheck this week.

Anyway, back to cancer. I'm wondering if Dr. Carter would flip out if I asked her to postpone surgery until the first of September? I think my husband would. So, I told him, if they do surgery early next week and I'm out of the hospital by Friday, I'm hooking up T.J.'s electric chair and Tim is taking me to the Moore War assembly Friday morning! He kind of rolled his eyes at me. But, we'll see who wins this one. I'll keep ya posted!

Actually Dr. Carter doesn't operate on me until noon, so you may hear from hear earlier...I hope so. Waiting is tough. I think another week won't kill you, so enjoy the last Moore War.
