Well here we go.....things have really started moving!
Well today I learned that I will be starting chemo on Wednesday. So here's a look at my week!
Tuesday: Marker clip placement which will mark the site of the tumor so that when the tumor shrinks, the surgeon will know exactly where to operate. There is a possibility that the tumor will shrink too small to see but I will still have to have surgery to make sure all margins are removed which lessens the possibility of recurrence.
I will also have some additional biopsies, these are for research purposes. I decided to take part in the research study. I figure I'm going to take chemo now anyway, I may as well try to help someone else later!!!!
Wednesday: Blood work, meet with the oncologist, then start chemo. I knew kinda figured my chemo would start this week but I wasn't looking at Wednesday!!!! But it's cool, I am just stressing about getting some work done, I hadn't planned to be out 3 days and I have tons of IEPs to write and meetings to miss (oh darn!!!!). But the paperwork will be there!
Thursday: I will still have the portacatheter placed on Thursday, and also I will be getting a booster for my immune system.
Friday: I WILL BE IN THE BED!!!!!
Things are really rolling now so we are well on the way to healing!!! I will try to blog throughout the week just to let you know how I'm feeling.
Thanks again for all your prayers, support and kind words. Please keep them all coming!
Love Ya
Smooches!!!!

You making me tired & I already am from just doing my home life. I love you, I love you, I love you! We've already claimed HIS WILL will be done in HIS SON JESUS NAME, AMEN! Stay strong. Find comfort in something you love (i.e., praying, reading, sleeping, gabbing on the phone, etc.) to keep your mind occupied. Everything is going to work out. Keep us posted! Love, Katrina
We are thinking of you and praying for you. Continue to remember your inner strength that God has given you. Thanks for the updates!
We love you--Crystal & Pat
Your friend sent me this link to your blog & I just wanted to stop by & encourage you. My line sister was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 22 years old while in nursing school. She has been in remission for 4 years now...& she is my HERO!!! I know that God is a healer & prayer changes things so I will keep you lifted up in prayer continuously!!! Keep the faith & just know that you are not alone...there are people all over the globe who are praying for you!!! I can't wait until you post the entry that informs us that you are all in the clear!!! God bless!

Nina, honey....My soror and real good friend turned me on to your blog! I was so impressed, I started my own! Although she made me a little older (I am STILL 36!!)....I was diagnosed with Stage II BC in December 2007. I am currently undergoing my 2nd round of chemo and it is AAAAAAAALLLLLLL good!! I am bald now, but always a sexy diva!! I am keeping you in my prayers as we travel this journey SIMULTANEOUSLY and believe me, honey..........WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED! Be blessed, stay strong and call on the Lord if you can't do either!!
