Oklahoma Wheat

So, we're finally home, fed, and washed up for the evening. I just wanted to throw up a quick update on today's doctor visit. We went down to fabulous Miami Beach to see my mom's friend's relative who is an oncologist, so we would have a second opinion. The nurse who checked me out was friendly and kind. He said he had seen a Turkish movie recently, and of course we were thinking, "Oh, great... he's seen Midnight Express too. What's new." But, (for the first time EVER) the guy had actually seen a really good German/Turkish flick called The Edge of Heaven, which we watched a few months ago. It's a really good flick! Anyway, doctor update. He came in, looked through the pathology reports, ultrasound slides, and mammograms, and we talked about my situation, how it all came about, he examined me (as if I wasn't sore enough from the biopsies)... and he came to the same conclusion as the other doctors. He also knows them well and said they are really excellent doctors. Anyway, as I was thinking before, the chemo news is great for now, but we must wait and see what the results are after the surgery. It is likely that I will need chemo after surgery, considering the circumstances and lack of family history of breast cancer. So, no cartwheels and flips, folks. We did ask about the fertility issue, and I could possibly opt to do another round of Lupron. Fun times.

Good news on the decorating front. Our room is coming along swiftly and we should be done by the end of the weekend (maaaybe). Poor Celal is sleeping in a girly room, but it's pretty cute and Frenchy. Next is my mom's master bathroom. I can't say I have the best eye for decorating, but my mom needs help, believe me. She kept asking me on Skype what paint color we wanted for our room here, and I gave a few ideas and reiterated "anything but yellow." They went with Oklahoma Wheat. She still refuses to believe that it's yellow. "It's not really yellow. It's wheat. Golden wheat. Golden wheat yellow."
