'Twas the night before surgery (updated 12-6-06)

...and we're scared.

Not of surgery, but of the overall prognosis of HER2 positive survival rates.

We can find statistics that are very poor, and some that aren't so bad, but great statistics...?

It's only been about 2 months since diagnosis, we feel battered a lot of the time, and we forget it all a lot of the time too. But remembering it over and over throughout the day is so hard.

It is a scary diagnosis, HER2 positive cancer.

It is our desire for things to be different than they are that is causing all this emotional pain. That much is obvious. How could it be otherwise?
sometimes it seems better to not have these great big brains that think so fast, conclude so much, infer all possibilities, tell such scary tales...
Sometimes it is easy to envy our dog, lost in sleep for the 10th time today.

We'll let you all know how surgery went. Thanks for all of your support.
