That was That

I completed chemo treatment #8 yesterday.  That means I'm done!  At least for the time being.  We still don't know exactly how aggressive the cancer was/is, so we'll have to see after surgery, radiation and future scans.  I pray that the chemo did its job and was able to rid my body of any lurking disease.  It did its job on my primary tumor, there most definitely was measurable shrinkage though not complete dissolution. 



The next step is surgery.  I go to see my surgeon on January 8th, so we should have a game plan then.  It looks like I'll be out of commission for around two weeks, so I'm asking for help now.  If there is anything you can/ want to do to help, let me know as soon as you can; phone call, text message, FB message, or even comment here.  I want to get my ducks in a row before it gets too late.  I will be having a complete double mastectomy- meaning no lifting, no reaching, etc.

That's the only update I have.  Other than my grandfather's passing, I had a very relaxing holiday season.  :)  I hope all my readers did too!  Tomorrow my family is taking a road trip from MI to MD.  Hopefully chemo side effects don't make the ride too terribly uncomfortable...
