Andrea's Updates

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the delay in updates, still been keeping pretty busy with tests. At the hospital yesterday for an xray and then back again this morning at 630 am to swallow a very sci-fi capsule that will take pictures of my insides as it travels through my system and send them to a recorder I have to wear...Sounds like fun, right :) It wasn't bad except that it was a little creepy to swallow a pill that is huge and has blinking blue lights inside it! I felt like that movie Inner Space from the 80's, lol!

Feeling pretty good today, just very tired as we had to leave our house at 500am to get to the hospital on time. Hopefully we won't have to go back to the hospital tomorrow, but we have an appointment with the oncologist on Thursday at 1pm. Hopefully all the test results will be in and we can start with treatment (even though that is still scary to me). The doctors put in this port just under my skin under my collarbone and that is what they will use when I get chemo or if they have to draw blood or anything, and for those of you that know me well you know I do not like blood or needles or other gross medical stuff, so it should be interesting when they have to use it. I will probably pass out on the floor the first time, lol :)

Will try to write updates more often...Thanks again for all of the love and support!!
