I think its working

I had my second infusion of Navelbine today. Already the rash looks much lighter and looks like it is breaking up some. I am feeling more encouraged now. Thank you for all your prayers.

If things keep moving in the right direction, I will be able to schedule the surgery. May I ask some of you how you felt about having a mastectomy?
Right now, I just can't wait to have it but my close friend, who has been through it, tells me I will have some emotions around it. Another friend, still has trouble with it.

I know that it is a very personal thing. I know everyone is different. I do not have a choice but to do it but I like to be prepared, so any experience you would like to share, would be helpful.

Thanks,
Tonya
