Time for a Deep Breath

Getting my ducks in a row here...we've met with all the players and it looks like I'll be getting the full monty (hormone blockers, immunotherapy {herceptin} and chemotherapy). Somehow I thought I might be able to avoid the chemo part but it looks like that offers me the best chance of survival so it's a non-starter. Surgery will be a couple weeks (one of the surgeons is out of town) but I may get a lymph node removed next week to check for spread.

Aside from the anxiety associated from processing all this info I'm feeling good and enjoying time with my family and friends. I'm so happy it's summer time and I can be buoyed by the sunshine and warm temps.

When I get some dates I'll be able to give you all a sense of what the immediate future holds.

Have a great weekend :) love, t

Hi Tracy, I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It was quite a shock to hear. Let me know what I can do to help. I would love to walk Rosie for you or bring you dinner. Love you lots! Debby

Using the Google calendar for meal sign ups

Here is an example of how we can use a google calendar to sign up to bring meals to the family. This calendar is "PUBLIC" so do not use any identifying information on it. Just your initials and the meal you will provide. More details will be posted as I figure this out. Note-Please wait to sign up for meals. Heidi will be the coordinator of meals, and she will let us know when they are needed. -Jamie

The journey begins...

This is new for me...many thanks to Jamie for setting this up and allowing me to share this journey with my family and friends. Now, I have to admit it took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to get to this point in the blog site so bear with me if it takes me a while to master this new technology.

I'm meeting with a plastic surgeon tomorrow and hope to have more information in the coming days regarding what my prognosis is and how we will move forward.

All I can say is that I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and kindness and support from my family and friends. Thank you all....

Jamie, amazing and speedy job on setting up this blog! Hope I posted correctly.

Testing, testing
