Smile Finished Taxotere yesterday
and surgery is scheduled for next Thursday! YAAA!! Finally making progress in this long journey. I just want to say to those who are new to this place in our lives, that this board will help make the long days and nights not seem so scary. I mark each phase as one down and two to go to get back to being me. Once I finish rads in June, we will move to Denver to enjoy and recoup in a beautiful new city.
Looking forward to Spring and Summer and I couldn't have done it without you wonderful ladies and gentlemen.
Thanks so much,
Emelie
