Doctor's Appointment

I had my Doctor's appointment with my surgeon. Wow, I love her. She is great. 


She took me through all the pictures they had taken and showed me what they saw and explained what everything was. 
Then she went through how a cancer lump forms. She said I might have had this in my body for 2-4 years before I could've felt it. The doctor drew pictures to show how it started and where it started. I got a lot of details. 
Then she went through all my test results. My labs are good. She said the one thing they don't want to see is the cancer leave the breast. And my tests look good. God is Good!
The doctor went over all the different tests mean. How some things are good and others mean they take a different way to treat it. But she took the time to go over everything. 
The doctor talked about treatment for this and what is the best for me. She actually went over the pros and cons of different treatments and what that means for me. She talked in normal words, and not all medical terms. She stopped and asked if I had questions and she went over things again if I needed it. 

She also went over what her part in all this is. And we went over the pros and cons of a lumpectomy or taking it all. That is a decision that I don't have to make today, I can make that after my treatments. 
I loved that she talked about chemo and what I could expect. (besides losing my hair) 
The last thing she talked about was me. And the top things I need to do. 
Sleep, laugh, cry, eat, exercise.  I love they focus on the whole person and not just Hildie and the cancer. 
I'm so blessed to have a great doctor who took time to talk to me and gave me a copy of all the notes she made so I can look them over and call if I have more questions. How awesome is that? 
God made sure I had the doctor I needed and gave me great information.
