Chemo This Week - I hope
I know it has been eons since I posted to the website. There have been so many doctor visits and the kids getting out of school that I have been swapped and tired. Just a real quick update and I will post more when I feel better (bad cold). My surgical oncologist declared me fit for chemo last week. My oncologist who we met with last week wants me to start chemo this week and I had to complete multiple tests and procedures to make it happen. Friday I had a heart scan, bone density scan, and blood work done. Today (Monday) was my bone scan and tomorrow I go in for outpatient surgery and have a port put in for chemo. Not only will I be getting the 8 chemo treatments but possibly 1-2 years of Herceptin as I am Her2Neu positive. Unfortunately, I have developed this cold, which may prevent me from receiving treatment this week (great timing). I am sure a quick blood test will let us know if my white blood cell count is OK. I am off to bed with some strong cold medicine and hope that after a good nights sleep I will be up to surgery tomorrow.

Cheryl,
I'm sure you can teach those snake-eatin' SF dudes a thing or two about toughness.
With renewed prayers of thanksgiving, hope, and healing,
Neil Hansen's out here; I'll be sure to raise a brew in your name with him tonight. Looking forward to having one with you soon.
