Today, the marathon begins. My mom came over this morning, she plans to stay the night and work from our house and be here for any additional mental/emotional/physical support during our appointment-heavy week. Things started with meeting my (potential) surgeon.
I left feeling a bit frustrated - the surgeon didn’t really have any answers or insights for me regarding my condition. I didn’t learn any more about staging, prognosis, anything like that. We did however talk about how he will work closely with my oncologist team and will take his instructions from my medical oncologist - whom he affectionately referred to as our “team captain.” I was encouraged to hear the level of confidence he had for the medical oncologist my PCP recommended - I am scheduled to meet him tomorrow. We left the appointment and headed home.
I am still sick with some kind of sinus junk/infection so I went to my doctor office's sick clinic in the afternoon. Turns out I have a double ear infection and probably a sinus infection of sorts too so I had to get an antibiotic and am hopeful that I’ll start feeling better soon.
