The news we have all been waiting for

These past 2 weeks have been the BEST 2 weeks of my life!!

1. Chemo ended 8/22....omg what a relief...hurry hair start growing on my head, eyelashes, and eyebrows only....the rest of you hair follicles may stay dormant!

2. I scheduled my bilateral mastectomy WITHOUT reconstruction for Septemeber 13th.  I know it is weird, but I can't wait.  I am ready to remove anything attached to this entire ordeal.  My mom keeps telling me it with bother me emotionally, but I know she is wrong.  Never took a liking to these saggy things anyways.  Plus, they aren't my friends anymore since they gave me this disease.  Reconstruction is a lengthy process and will start sometime next spring.

3.  After surgery...I will have radiation for up to 5-6 weeks.  This is not a big deal other than it is everyday for 10 minutes and is time consuming. 

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....

#4   I had a CT scan, a mammogram, and an ultrasound.  All 3 tests show no signs of visible cancer!!!!   HAHAHAHAHAH...I told them not to mess with me b/c I would kick some ass...and I did!!  There IS the possibility that there are a few cells remaining that they can't see, but they will get them at the time of surgery. 

Put it this way....the tumor and the lymph node shrank sooooo much that they are not visible on any of the scans!!!  I will take that any day...modern medicine is awesome...thankful to live in the US of A.

Please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers...having so many soldiers fighting for me has made me stronger.  Thanks to all of you for being followers and caring enough to be emotionally vested in my journey to survival.  Without all of you, this process would have been a nightmare.  I have learned so much through all of this and value the opportunity to witness the true meaning of family and friendship...now that is a life-long lesson!!
