Well today was a lot of driving. I went to my office to get my listings updated and on track for the "showcase of homes" open houses this weekend....then picked up C & M and went to lunch with the Mello's to CPK for lunch. Then began the crazy circle of picking up tissue slides (gross...I didn't even open the envelope) and all of my xrays...mammo's ,,,ultrasounds..etc... to deliver to the offices of my 2nd opinion.
I was SO impressed with the personal service that I received.at Kaiser....after 20 yrs. of having a PPO and then having to go to a HMO...I must admit I was really scared...but so far it has been really reassuring. I am going to get a 2nd opinion from Michele's doctor at the Breast Link who just released his 4th edition of The Breast Cancer Survival Guide"... I am hopeful that they will give me all of the necessary info. that I can give to my doctor next Tuesday when we meet to schedule my surgery. It looks like I will have a masectomy and the reconstruction...and most likely some type of chemo.
But...that is the GOOD news. I think the hardest part of this process was the intial diagnosis and then having to wait for the news if it had spread...at this point I am SO
ready to deal with the breast cancer...just let me be early and clear from all of the other reports. Tomorrow will be a big day.
The comments are SO appreciated. Go ahead and post pics of yourselves..your families..etc...
this will be my lifeline for the next few months.
Love,,
Nancy

Becky reminded me of the Judgement card you had in your reading during PS. I recall saying something about a time for "being naked" while Bec focused on "rebirth and resurrection." We all need to say good bye to the amazing Nancy we knew before last Wednesday. Hello Nancy Schreiner McCracken Warrior Queen extradordinaire!!!!!
