My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

Surgery #2 on Thursday....

I got some good news and some not as good news from my first surgery - the lumpectomy went well and I have clean margins from that surgery.  The lymph nodes showed cancer in the two sentinel nodes, and 5 others were clean.  So this week, I am having the axillary nodes removed so we know we've gotten all the cancer.  I will spend the night in the hospital which I found out at my doctor visit today.   That surprised me, OK - that's alright.  Please keep the prayer going for a successful surgery and I'm praying that I don't have any problem with swelling in my arm.

I'll let you know how I do.....
