Met with the oncologist today, Rochelle Strenger. Do you remember the Seinfeld episode about Rochelle, Rochelle, the hot new movie everyone HAS to see? So continuing the movie theme, my doctors are Dr. Marlene at the Beach and Dr. Rochelle Rochelle.
It's a good thing my appointment was expedited... we are in a rush. Aside from Turkey on Thursday, next week holds an MRI, CATscan, Bone Scan and Heart Scan, each on different days. My second tumor board meets on Nov. 29. My birthday is the 30th and my driver's license expires, so I'll be spending it at the DMV because when the heck else am I going to go? {and i kinda want a new photo before I'm bald}, and then first week in Dec. we start chemo.
Hello universe, are you serious? Did you really have to throw the DMV into the mix, because while i'm an understanding soul, that just kind of adds insult to injury.
Did they say how many chemo treatments before you have surgery and get rid of that @#$%^#@% rude tumor??
ReplyDeleteKim, this is crazy news. I'm so sorry to hear this. But, you're a fighter, I know it!
ReplyDeleteHey Kim my license is expiring too. I'll go with you to the DMV if you want on the 30th. Misery does love company at the DMV
ReplyDeleteWell, Luckybird, I don't know. If the universe wants to play, play it back. At the DMV, announce to all, "Stand in line? Take a number? I don't got time for this shit. I got cancer." Advance to Go, collect $200 and one shiny new license.
ReplyDeletedeb, yes, let's go to AAA on the 30th, that would totally take the edge off!
ReplyDeleteand beth... 3 months maybe... the big thing now, is i NEED the scans to be clear and i NEED the chemo to be effective on this cancer. if that happens, i can deal. i've really had all the bad news i can accommodate.
AND, i have just been utterly cheered by a random act of kindness from someone I would have least expected... not cause they're not swell, just wouldn't have expected... 3 bags of groceries and somehow, exactly what i needed. there is nothing better than a box of beautiful clementines. really, really grateful at the moment.
Kim,
ReplyDeletelove you. this sucks. keep up the blog.
AAA is the only way to go for Dr. License pics - then just send it in and presto... new license comes in the mail! Check-done!
