We finished up at about 5pm, and had to wait for the nurse to tell us that it was ok to go. They booked me in for an 8.30am appointment for my chest x-ray, because I have an appointment with the fertility specialist at 9.15am and then an appointment with Nuclear Meds at 2.30pm.
Another big day! The chest x-ray is just to make sure everything is all good with my lungs for the anaesthetic. The fertility specialist is to talk about the possibility of harvesting some of my eggs for future use, in case I have to go down the chemo route (it's a kind of 'insurance' for future fertility, as chemo can affect fertility). If we do decide to do that, then it looks like they may be able to do it at the same time (or just before) the breast surgery operation - all while I'm under the gas. Then the nuclear meds is to talk about radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
