Patience

I'm learning very quickly that my lack of patience is going to be one of my biggest challenges. Finally spoke to my Gastric specialist today and it looks like they can't get me in for my ultrasound until March 6th. That was a bit of a tough one for me. I guess I was really hoping to get this started so that I could get it over with. I can't start chemo and radiation until that is done, so I wait. Once I get the ultrasound done Dr. says I will start both right away. It's going to be a 6 week cycle then I will get 6 weeks off for what he jokingly referred to as "vacation"(no treatment for 6 weeks). Okay.....I can think of many other things to consider vacation and none of then involve my colon!  After roughly 12 weeks I will get surgery to remove what I confident will be a cancer free portion of my colon. I really need to get used to the fact that I'm not in control on this one, and those of you who know me well know that it's not going to be easy.
The good news is that I feel pretty good, aside from the usual symptoms that led me to the Dr in the first place.  So I wait, and while I'm waiting I will be working on my patience.
Thank you all for the support, I really am blessed with family & friends.
