Another test? Why yes, of course, but this one is easy. It's Wednesday, February, shit, wait, no, it's March 1. Where the fuck did February go? Apparently I have been so busy I didn't realize we were in a new month. Shit. Maybe I can fast track this whole treatment plan the same way. That would be great.
Time for an echocardiogram. Like WTF is that? Seriously? No idea and I don't look it up. 5 days until I start my chemo treatment.
During my appointment I find out my doctor ordered this test to get a base line for my heart. Um, why? I don't have heart cancer (I doubt that is even a thing because you would likely die way too fast), but in all that I have learned and continue to do so, it turns out that there is a possible side effect that this could effect your heart. Well Fuck Me. Let's hope I am not that one in a million in this instance.
For those of you that are curious, an echocardiogram is easy, simple and quick. They put a few leads on your chest. Then take an ultrasound of your heart from three different view points. Easy as pie. I really got lucky too, because the tech doing it was great. She was hilarious, and I enjoyed talking to her.
Now all my tests are done pre-treatment. Terrific! I am so tired of being poked and prodded and I don't even know what already. I am over it. I have a few days left until I am in uncharted, unknown territory. I am ready.
