First visit to Mt. Sinai

Cycle 2 Day 8

You know those days that feel like overwhelming victories because they went fine rather than catastrophic? I'd file today with those days.

The news is generally good. Mt. Sinai has similar procedures as Royal Victoria does. My case will be presented to the surgical oncology team, who will decide if and when surgery may take place. Typically there are two rounds of chemo (each of six two week blocks, for six months total) before you become a candidate for the surgery.

The garden is starting to look spoopy (also today's hospital fashion)

Somehow I forgot to get one with a hospital sign, but here I am, terrified out of my mind waiting jn a hospital room in a strange city.
