Pre-biopsy day

Today I got an Echo and took a Pulmonary test. The Echo test was easy. I just got to lie there while a technician took ultrasound images of my heart. I moved on to the pulmonary test which consisted of me sitting in what reminded me of the tube at bank drive throughs. You put the canister in and a door slides over it and it's sucked up. I had to do a bunch of crazy deep breathing and blowing out and hyperventilating. It was crazy but the technician was really funny and definitely made sure the experience wasn't as strenuous as it could have been.

Tomorrow I get the biopsy surgery. I've never had full anesthesia before so I'm a little nervous. Sam has the day off so he can be with me which is a huge comfort for me. I know I'm stronger when he's by my side. I've had a bit of congestion and a runny nose today. I think it's just allergies but I'm kind of worried it'll effect my surgery tomorrow.

My brother started a GoFundMe page to raise money to help us and I cannot begin to thank everyone who has donated enough. I am incredibly lucky to have so many people who care. As a young family money was already tight and having all these medical bills is already taking its toll. I can only imagine how many more bills well have throughout my journey. Every little bit of money helps assure our son will be fed, happy and healthy and I can get the care I need. Thank you thank you thank you all so much!

Peace. Love. Fuck cancer
