Tests Are Scheduled

Ok, Wednesday at 4:00 I'm getting an ultrasound of my left armpit (I better shave well that day) to look at the lymph nodes. I guess part of giving the cancer a stage is seeing if it's gotten to certain lymph nodes.

After my fun armpit ultrasound, I'll be heading to my worst nightmare (well, one of them), the MRI machine! Oh I hate them. And I can't take Valium because it doesn't mix well with other medication I take. So, I'll be having a long panic attack while stuck in a tiny tube. 

I'll have this done in Provo, then they'll send all of the images to Huntsman. That will allow my surgeon to have most of the information he'll need to determine the stage and hopefully give me a treatment plan. I'm really hoping to have answers when I leave his office Friday morning.
