...appointments that is. Just tried to set up my "second opinion" (it is recommended that you do this in a concurrent time frame with the first so that you are "prepared" ha ha, to make decisions when the time comes) which, ironically, is going to happen before the first opinion. It seems that this group of doctors wants to see you immediately while the other wants to get all of the tests (MRI, CT and bone scan) first. So... I'm confused and hopefully doing this right (is there a "cancer for dummies" manual out there??). Pray that we get VERY similar opinions on how to proceed so that I can just pick the doctor that I like the best (and with the most convenient offices) vs. having to decide really what strategy would be best for me (sans medical degree and vast experience in oncology...).
So... unless I'm up (again...) in the middle of the night, this should do it for today given that I missed the call from the nurse from the "first" opinion's office and will have to call her back in the morning to find out what else I should be doing.
Rest assured... I'll keep you posted!

My brave friend-
ReplyDeleteI find myself continually praying for you throughout the day. You are in my heart everywhere- the grocery store, work, even as I grilled hotdogs for dinner. You are an inspiration to me already- thank you for including me in your blog. I am angry for you- I am scared for you and I want to scream for you. You are forever in my prayers- you are strong and you are bigger than this! I promise. xoxoxo Jill Spear

All are now considered activated! Also I'm glad you chose to share this with us now rather then later,because you need as much support and prayers that you can get,starting right now. Hugs from Uncle Pete
So, I'm not really sure what to say here. We always joke that you and I are the same age (this is Megan - Sara's sis). So we are both 'old'...but seriously. Kristen...I cannot imagine what you are going through. All I do know is that your strength amazes me. Your internal strength as well as your amazing relationship with God. You will make it through this - that I'm sure of. You are here to inspire thousands which I'm sure you have already done but there are so many more out there that need someone like you. That have been waiting for someone like you to touch their lives (I've been one of the lucky ones to have already had this privledge). You are a beautiful, wonderful, kind, thoughtful individual that this time and age is RARE...and you are here...giving a glorious example of what a person should be. You make me want to be a better person. I guess what I want to say is I'm very proud of you. I'm here for you and your family - whatever I can do I will...you just name it lady!!! Love you!!! megs
