Radioactive Woman

Who's that you might ask? It's me..ta-da!

Bet ya didn't know that, I didn't either until I went in for the lymph node biopsy yesterday. Apparently they shoot you up with radioactive dye so it can travel to your lymph nodes so they can find them to take some out and check that there is no spread of the cancer. Which..all indications from the five she took out yesterday show there is no spread..YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!

But..it means you have radioactive dye in you and it has to come out somehow.....which I figured so that didn't surprise me. But what did is when I went to change shirts for bed last night.....I had taken out my contacts and so things were a bit fuzzy and I looked down to see what the "damage" was this time and I freaked because it looked like my entire boob was a big bruise! I calmed down quickly upon closer examination when I realize that it was just the dye! But now I have one blue boob! And it is a pretty turquoise blue at that. Definitely a good way to freak out the hubby too:P Ok, I have to have fun when and where I can these days ya know:)

So, I now have one blue boob, not sure for how long, it seems to have faded slightly from last night...I wish there was a way to exploit this...ok I am a tad twisted but, when will this ever happen again, and can't you just imagine the looks on people's faces when the saw it?

Anyway, good news although it won't be confirmed until next week when the pathology labs come back from the biopsy(so I knock on wood every time I think about it) but I certainly hope Dr. O was right about the nodes. However, I still start chemo on Monday, right after my appt. with my oncologist, and did I mention that is at 7:30 am.......so not my time of day:)
I have no idea what the regimen will be or what the cocktail will be either. All I know is that it will start and then eventually I will have the mastectomy surgery but that could be in Aug. or Sept., who knows!

I will keep y'all updated and of course let you know what Monday brings. Enjoy the first week of June.
