Diagnosis.

At the end of November in 2008 i found a small lump in my breast.  With Diagnostic MAMMOgram and ultra sound they had found that it had spread to one lymph nodes.  Biopsys to lump in breast and lymph node confirmed cancerous.  That date was March 9th, 2009.  Its still very sureal and life changing to be sure.  My last date at work was April 3rd.  Since then, there have been many tests.  9MRI's of the back, a PETscan, MUGGAscan, many blood draws.  All of these  tests show that the cancer has spread to my bones.  All very daunting  i know, but i believe in concentrating on the positive.  I feel healthy!
The cancer has not spread to my vital organs.  I have a GREAT  support system in my Family and friends!!  Together, we can do this and we will!!!!    Very greatfull so far to soo many who have gone above and beyond, appreciate each and everyone of you! !!!

After a short stint in Banner Desert Hospital to get pain meds and dehydration under control, i finallly got to start chemo.  I started Thursday the 16th?  Seems my days all run together now.  After a small meltdown from the benadryl the rest of chemo went rather well.  Had a few side effects but no big bumps in the road.  The next one isThursday morning as well.

Any questions??  Drop me line, i'd be glad to answer any.
