Meeting the Oncologist

Wednesday, February 2
We met the oncologist.  Melissa was nervous and yet anxious to meet him! He examined her and knew it was not localized but advanced.  He said probably it was Stage 4 but he needed to look over all the tests that had been taken the day before. We met her case worker that would be working with her. Melissa had more blood drawn, a blood marrow test and an EKG.
Thursday, February 3
Melissa was at the Med Center for a heart test and a lung test.  We had a short break before having to be at Bergan for the outpatient surgery for her port. 
We decided to go to Bravados and look at wigs.  She found 2 she liked. We will go back again later.
Next was Bergan for the port! Surgery went well! She is exhausted from the past few days but positive and just wants to get everything rolling!
At 7:00pm our doorbell rang! It was Matt and Aimee from Indianapolis! What a wonderful surprise! Melissa and Matt are so close! It is fabulous to have him here! Aimee is so sweet! Melissa is so happy to have them here with her! We are all so happy to have them here.
