Doc appt

Dr. Berry (my surgical oncologist, and kind of the coordinator through all of this) had not much to say today but WOW, I can't believe your tumor has gotten so small! :) It's down to about 1.3 cm (from 7!). He said I probably now have the option of doing a lumpectomy instead of mastectomy. I'll know in a couple of weeks about that, after a PET scan and a mammogram. I'll update more details about what the differences are between the two surgeries later, but basically lumpectomy is a much easier surgery and I may not have to have reconstruction surgery after it. :D

Pink Ribbon Jewelry

Just some pink ribbon jewelry I started making. Had trouble finding the right lighting and background, but oh well. :)

Things I will miss about chemo

I will miss not having to shave, wax, or pluck anything!
I will miss having my hair done before I even get out of the shower!
I will miss 'being tired' as an excuse to get out of things I don't want to do!
I will miss being babied and taken care of (though I will get some of that after surgery)!
I guess the only thing I will not miss is feeling like crap! :) How's that for a positive spin?
