THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!

D-DAY

I am trying desperately to type in a timely fashion, but due to the HORRIBLE neuropathy and sores on my fingers,  it is taking a long time.  I was going to post yesterday, but Brady was home sick and I wanted to get some cleaning done.  This week is the final countdown of my heavy duty chemo. On Friday March 18 I will have my last Taxol with Herceptin.  Though I would rather have chocolates or a spa day, I am considering this a pretty decent birthday present.  I still have to do Herceptin till December, but this should be a piece of cake.  As I said earlier, my hands are suffering from neuropathy.  The chemo has taken its toll in a big way this week and my hands are VERY numb and I have alot of cracks and sores on my finger tips.  Also this week is my MRI.  The MRI should tell us how much the tumor has shrunk and what kind of margins the surgeon can get with lumpectomy.  It should also show what kind of lymph node involvement there is.  Today I ask you my friends to keep in your prayers two friends of mine.  I have two friends that are currently in question about their breast health. Thanks.
