Remember that checklist I was pumped about? These were all the things I needed to do before starting chemotherapy:
1. Genetic testing
2. Breast MRI
3. Brain MRI
4. Bone Scan
5. Abdominal CT
6. Lymph node biopsy
7. Echocardiogram
8. Medical Oncologist appointment (different than surgical oncology of course)
9. Apply for FMLA
10. Set up plastic surgery consult for reconstructive options after surgery
11. Seattle Reproductive Medicine appointment for possible egg retrieval
12. Get a port
13. Obtain 10,000 medications for the side effects of chemotherapy
READY. SET. GO.
