Enjoying NO chemo and preparing for surgery now...

Hi all.  So sorry it has been a while since you have heard from me.  Danno and I have skipped town for a few days to celebrate chemo being done and also to prepare for my up coming surgery.
We actually brought Karley and her friends Kristen Nelson and Chelsey Roos toVegas with us for the first couple of days.  This was Karleys 21st birthday present.  The girls were good, we got no sleep worrying until they got home every night, but it was all good.  The girls left on Monday so it has been just Dan and I since and we have been having a great time.  A lot of sunshine. A lot of walking. A lot of time together. A little gambling.  We really are not gamblers, but we sure are sun worshipers.  Been wonderful to see some sunshine.

I have still been experiencing some really sore fingernails and toenails.  It's so weird.  I have been having some tingling in my feet. I have had a real hard time sleeping.  Insomnia really sucks!  My hair has started to come back in....woot woot.  Dan calls me fuzz head :) It sure looks white :(.  Please don't come in white and straight haha.

Now our focus is on surgery.  I am actually feeling okay about it.  I want all of this cancer out of me.  My last scans showed that all of the cancer was gone from the nodes with the chemo :).  That is really good.  The tumor in my breast was still seen but was definitely smaller. So after surgery all cancer should be gone...yea!  My mom will be with us the day of surgery and my sister is coming a few days after surgery.  That will be nice for both Dan and I. Dan can spend the night with me in the hospital.  I am happy for that.
My emotions about the whole thing have been really good so far.  Lets hope they stay that way.

Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful support I continue to get from so many of you.  Dan and I appreciate it so much!!
