The last few days have been a tad bit overwhelming. I now have a lot more information about things I wish I never ever had to know. Having to learn about lumpectomies, mastectomies, HER2, BRCA genes, radiation, hormone blockers, chemo......and on and on. It's unpleasant to say the least. Especially while waiting in limbo for doctors appointments to even have the ability to consider my options. Its a horrible waiting game. Not to mention the plethora of phone calls to insurance companies and doctors to try and coordinate authorizations and referrals that end up being denied anyways. It's a very frustrating and infuriating situation. But I have also had a wonderful outpouring of support and love from my awesome friends and family and have been reminded how lucky I truly am to have such a strong support system.
I am awaiting my appointment to see my oncologist Wednesday morning and will hopefully have a better idea of what I am going to do at that time. I just cant wait for this to all be over so I can just go back to being the lucky wife, mom, sister and friend.
