Today is the big day.. I get to go meet with my new chemo doc. It's a scary appointment, the great unknown. Whats the best chemo treatment for my cancer.....There are so many things running wildly through my head. I;m suprised to find it still on my shoulders. Okay so heres a thought I'm a little flat on the right side of my chest. An when I say little I mean it because I'm one of those almost an A cup. An realisticly, I haven't taken an add in the paper an announced my disease. So the big quesition is to hide or not to hide the flat. Could it cause conversations with people I'm not quite ready for???? yup Hiding it seems wrong.. It's my reality--the reality of my present life. So today I think I'LL choose to not hide my reality. Tomorrow who knows... I want to thank everyone that responded to my discussion board. An no I haven't figured out how this site works. I will though in time, with all your help.. I also want to say that I really needed this site, more then I'd like to admit. I would like to wish everyone a dose of hope today and everyday we have in the future. Anna

    Anna-you're doing just fine....
    you figured this site pretty darn quickly-good for you! Yes, today will be a day you will probably never forget, as will be the last day--you're graduation day from chemo. At times, this may seem like the slowest part of your life as the weeks drag by for the chemo treatments to be over. At other times, you wish for things to slow down so you can get a grip on things.

    I (as are many others) thinking of you now and when you graduate, too. Hang in there, you'll get through this and we'll do it together!

    doing it
    Hi Anna. I know that feeling of "i don't know what I'm doing" but the truth is you are doing it! We make the best choice when we have the most and best information. Sound like you are getting all the troops and ammunition lined up together. Hopefully, you've got someone who can go with you to help write down some notes. None of this stuff is supposed to make sense because this isn't supposed to happen to us so keep asking until your questions are answered. and then.....check back with us.
