In cutting off my wristband after PT* today, I wondered...how many appointments have there been?
Today marks appointment 101 for 2017. That doesn't include my 6 days of inpatient stay. Or appointments from my "regular" OB (heyyyy Dr. Hackett). Or appoints for G. Or the NICU. Or you know...giving birth.
It also doesn't include anything for 2016 - diagnosis or surgery.
It does include 33 radiations, 16 chemos, high risk OB scans, and countless appointments. About 25 hours a week at the doctor while I was out on short term disability.
That's a whole lot of wristbands. Glad I didn't start a collection early on - scrap booking cancer seems really weird to me.
PS - Oral chemo is going well. Nothing major to report yet.
* I am losing sensation in my right hand because of cording around the median nerve. Cording started because of scar tissue buildup after 4 adriamycins / 4 cytocans / and 4 taxols to the arm.
