Okay - I've committed to Thursday, May 15th to start chemotherapy. My appointment is at 12:00 noon. Weird time, huh? Setting the date somehow makes me feel less nervous about it all.
My sister, Janet, will be coming down from Nashville, TN to go with me. It will be great to have her company. Plus, we will try to squeeze in some time for wig and scarf shopping :)
Here we go......... !!!!

Once again......you are attacking this head-on. You are an inspiration.
I just saw your message about your blog and got caught up on your progress. I'm so glad to hear the nodes were negative, and will think of you tomorrow as you start chemo. Wishing you all the best.
I have been thinking about you all day! Know it's hard but I am sure you are also glad to get it underway and all behind you! As my sister-in-law told me before I started this path - "after this, you will be able to kick butt!" Pam P.
I'm a 47 year old wife and mother. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb of '08. This blog is a journal of my experiences with cancer.
My Procedure Tally: **needle biopsy**
**PET CT Scan**
**MRI**
**MRI guided biopsy**
**Lumpectomy/sentinel node removal**
**6 rounds of chemo**
**Positive BRCA2 gene test**
**Bi-lateral mastectomy with first stage reconstruction** **4 Expansion injections** **Exchange surgery to replace expanders with permanent implants** **bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy ** I think that's enough - don't you?
