Medical Update

Today I had my last baby doctor appointment before the baby will arrive. I'm still dialated at 2 cm and 90% effaced. The doctor checked my fluid levels and that looks good. I have my induction scheduled for Monday May 4th at St. Alexius hospital. I went to my breast surgeon today and he removed the staples underneath my arm. He also gave me a couple of referrals for an oncologist and radiologist. After the baby is born I will have to start the chemo treatments 2 weeks later. The four chemo treatments will last over a 12 week period of time and the radiation treatments will be another 6-8 weeks. I will have to take an extended leave of absence from work. I'm grateful for the short term disability I have from work. I wasn't prepared for all this to happen to me. I just hope that we can handle the strains both financially and emotionally. We will have a few months of some real challenging times ahead of us.
