Ultrasound Done

After spending a good two and a half hours with malfunctioning ultrasound equipment we discovered that Holly has two boobs and a tumor in one of them! Other than that there was nothing "remarkable" found. The first time I can remember unremarkable sounding good :)

There is some cool technology that allows the ultrasound technician to synchronize the ultrasound with the PET scan image that was very impressive. The problem we encountered was that there was a faulty sensor it took awhile to discover. Once over that hurdle the doctor came in and said the areas of possible concern identified by the PET scan were "unremarkable".

Today is going to be one for the record books, four appointments in one day. First up the big one with the Oncologist where we will get the lowdown on chemotherapy. Next up, the genetic counselor to discuss the cancer gene screening. The last appointment of the day is with the Radiologist Oncologist who will discuss the possible, post operative radiation that will be required. Somewhere in those appointment we will squeeze in a visit to the surgeon for paperwork and a preoperative visit regarding Thursdays procedure.

After last night Holly was a little grumpy and I was wore out, we got home, had a nice dinner, curled up on the couch with a good book and felt much better.
