I have begun the series of tests designed to stage my cancer. It has been a roller coaster of appointments, trips to Urbana, and multiple sticks for blood draws, blood tests, and who knows what else. I feel physically good still, to be honest the procedures attempting to understand the extent of my cancer have made me feel worse than I did before. The only truly bad part of all of this so far has been the removal of surgical tape in random places on my body. I have lost more hair in the last week than a golden retriever on a hot July day! While the bone marrow biopsy included pain like I had never felt, the surgical tape removal process leaves me feeling anxious and significantly apprehensive. The one on my backside makes me go white just thinking about it!
