Seriously what a waste of an afternoon.....I feel like all I do is drive up to Utah Valley Hospital pay a stinkin $50 copay each time and sit around and wait forever! Plus I'm sick of being told one thing by one doctor who then refers me to another doctor just to tell me something different today. Well last week they told me I would be having my scan today, then start my isolation on Monday. Today I go in, Phil takes of half the day off of work to go with me and all they do is give me a tiny little blue pill and says see ya Monday. Oh by the way I waited in the waiting room for 35 minutes for that stupid little pill. I'm like hey wait a minute, I thought you were doing my scan today that's what my doctor told me. The technician looks at me and says "well your in my world now." We give you a low dose of radiation today, then in three days you come back to get a full body scan to see exactly where the cancer is and how much of a dose of radiation to give you. Then Tuesday the doctor will be in to look at your scan. Then you will have to come up again and have your dose on Wednesday or Thursday. I am happy that I won't miss preschool graduation or my little guys birthday. But it is annoying when you are a planner like myself and have every little detail figured out, especially when you are working with a husband who has work, and three little kids that will have to go to different babysitters each day. It wouldn't be so bothersome either if I got told the same thing everywhere I went but instead I get told one thing here, then one thing there it is enough to drive a person crazy! Even my husband isn't impressed, I do feel blessed to have such wonderful doctors, Dr.Maturlo is my Cancer specialist, and I hear she is one of the best. Sorry to vent but I just had to get that out of my system. It won't be hard to rearrange things, people have been so kind and I have actually been overwhelmed by the amount of people so willing to help me out.
