Hi. Went to Cedars yesterday morning for pre-op tests: EKG, blood tests and more blood tests. Later I went to my local pharmacy to pick up some meds. I told Ari, the pharmacist about my cancer diagnosis and he gave me this cute Beanie Baby. He said he'd had it downstairs for three years and wanted to give it to me. So sweet.
I'm meeting with a gynecological oncologist tomorrow because I also have to have my ovaries removed. This is to protect me from getting ovarian cancer. Because I have the BRCA-1 gene my risk of that cancer is greatly increased.
Today is a shopping day - yay! Looking for a comfy robe and some more sweatpants and loose tops. Will write again soon when I have more info.
Love you!
