I need chemo.

I got up and called them to find out if the test results were in; they were. So [personal profile] mashfanficchick and zer mother picked me up and took me there. And the upshot was that the test values were such that chemo is indicated. I am also going to need a CAT scan, a bone scan, and some kind of heart test I never heard of. After that they arranged for me to see the surgeon again, because she is going to have to put a port in me.

I am going to lose my hair, the oncologist was frank about that. It will, of course, grow back, but I will lose it. The Kid is going to knit me head coverings to wear.

After the appointment we went to Chopt for lunch, and then back to [personal profile] mashfanficchick's place to do some work. That got cut short as a fuse kept blowing in her apartment. Meanwhile I ran my meeting on Zoom from zer computer. Which was only marginally successful.

After that we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and then Shop Rite. And then home where I fed the pets and am now doing this.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB, Didn't Skype today but e-mailed.

2. The Kid is supportive.

3. [personal profile] mashfanficchick and zer mother.

4. My medical team.

5. My insurance.

6. Air conditioning.

I heard from the radiology place today about making appointments for the three scans that the oncologist wanted, a MAGU scan, and bone scan, and a CAT scan. I have the MAGU scan (which I had never heard of but which I now know is a scan to show how the heart is functioning) on Friday, and the other two in two weeks, on Friday. [personal profile] mashfanficchick and zer mother are taking me as usual. This is a new location, weirdly enough in the same building where zer father has his office.

I finished my Community Book List and made a fancy layout for it, which I'm proud of.

After work I called Oldest Brother, and then before I could Skype the FWiB, [personal profile] mashfanficchick invited me out to dinner at Uno and Carvel. So we did that. I called Oldest Brother again at 9:30 or so, and the Kid, but the Kid didn't pick up.

Came home and Skyped the FWiB very briefly. I wanted to see him because I didn't yeterday and because tiday is his birthday.

And now it's time for bed.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. My friends.

3. They got to me quickly about the appointments.

4. Booklist done.

5. Got into the car before the downpour started tonight.

6. Carvel.
