Testing checklist

I now have an official diagnosis -- triple negative breast cancer that spreads faster than the other kinds. And Monday December 5 the flurry of activity finally picked up -- there are numerous tests that needed to be performed to figure out treatment options: 

genetic testing, 

MRI, 

CT scan, 

bone scan, 

numerous labs,

and even a port to implant under the skin

Finally, a bit more than a month since discovery, the rush is finally on.
