Less than 12 hours to go...
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to let the prayer warriors out there know that I am scheduled for my Radical Mastectomy in just a few short hours. I go in THursday at 10:30 for prep and then off to the O.R. around 12 noon. I am anxious and nervous, probably more anxious to get this all going and see where I stand with any lymph node involvement or what. I have been on Taxotere/Carboplatin/Herceptin since Jan 2007 and the 7cm tumor is just about gone....after I heal from this surgery I will finish the 2 rounds left of the TCH and then do my year of Herceptin and then go on the Tamoxifin...so far anyway thats the plan. Please keep me your prayers. I will do recon after all my chemo is completed....but this is sure going fast. I thank you all in advance for your thoughts and prayers...God Bless all of you and your families.
In His Name,
Tricia V.
