My First Day At CTCA in Chicago

Today was a very nervous day for me. I really didn't know what to expect and as most of you know I don't like the unknown. It started with the New Patient Registration then to meet my nurse for an assessment. Robbin and I then meet with one of many oncology doctors. He was very nice and sure made me feel better about what was going on (from my doctors records at home). He was at least positive and tells us that there is treatment for the bone cancer that I have. From there we went to lunch and back for blood draws. I think they took 5 gallons of blood!!! One thing about it, there is no test that will be missed. We then had to wait to get a schedule of upcoming appointments. Very long day but I at least have an idea of what to expect. Tomorrow will be lots of meetings with the naturopathy, nutrition, mind/body consultants and then new guest orientation. I will have a PET scan at 5. By the way I am very glad they are doing this scan. It will show any and every cancer area that I have, it is very thorough. It is not a comfortable scan but well worth the pain. So, for now, I ask for continued prayer for both Robbin and I. He is being very patient and is spoiling me. There is nothing he won't do for me! He's the best!! All for now. Look for more tomorrow. Good night and love all of you!
