Careful what you wish for

So, the Dr. today says that I am going to have chemo! My oncotype came back pretty high, which surprised Brian and I both. It was 72 out of 100! My Dr. said he had made the decision of chemo before he had seen the test so, that made me feel a little better. Hey, I said I wanted to do chemo, right? I guess it's just different when it becomes reality.

They asked me to do a Clinical Trial and I said ABSOLUTELY! I can't imagine saying no since that has been my career for the last 13 years! It's an open label study and all the drugs are FDA approved! More details on all that later.

So, when do I start? Well, I have to go and have a heart scan today to make sure this old ticker is ready for what we are about to put it through. Then 7/28 I have my port put in. SOOO I suspect this will all start around the end of July or first of August. I am ready to get the show on the road! The quicker we start, the quicker we can be done :)

I am going to go and get another haircut because I can't stand the thought of my hair coming out in clumps :( I LOVE MY HAIR SO MUCH and it will be missed terribly. But, it does grow back!!

Keep me in your prayers and thank you for all the love and support :)
