My Last chemo :)

Friday the 13th of April, my last chemo treatment. Whoot Whoot!!!! Very exciting day. Everything went as planned. I took my doctor and his staff some yummy cookies and I also gave the nurses at the infusion area cookies. Dr. Kaplan has been such a wonderful doctor through this whole thing. I also love his nurse Stephanie.

My last treatment :)

Friday was a pretty long day. After my treatment we had an appointment with my surgeon. Dr. Claire Buchanan. It was actually my pre op appointment for surgery. So they went over all the information that I need to know prior to surgery.
I am to show up at the hospital at 8:15 am Monday the 30th. Surgery to begin at 10:00. I should just be in the hospital one night then home to heal.
I have started to feel a little concerned about being deformed a bit, if you will. They talked about the special camisole that I will wear for a month and just all the other stuff that goes along with one loosing there boob :(. It's okay though. I have to do what I have to do.

GREAT NEWS......I do not have the BRCA gene mutation. That was so nice to get that news. Great for my girls and great for me.
