In May I was diagnosed with breast cancer. On June 1st I had a bilateral mastectomy (my choice) but the cancer was in all my lymph nodes. We went to M.D. Anderson in Houston, Texas for a second opinion. I've started treatment here in Joplin under the supervision of M.D. Anderson doctors. The plan is to do twelve weeks of chemo weekly, (Aug. 20th will be my 3rd treatment), then go back to Houston for some tests and see if I'm responding. Then twelve more weeks of chemo, given every three weeks. Then hopefully radiation. Anyway, it will be a journey.
I have had so many cards and phone calls, e-mails and visits. I never knew I knew so many people. I just want to hug you all and say thank you for your love and support and prayers. I hope that this blog will help everyone.
