Saw my surgeon yesterday, and I just love her right now. She is down to earth wrote down everything on note pad of everyting we talk about, didnt need my tape recorder after all (has pretty good hand writing for a doctor hehe). She has set me up with a chemo consult and rad consult. She even did a test to see if it is hereity (hope I spelled the right) but no one in my family that I know of have breast cancer but that word cancer was a hush hush word or a word you whispered.

She said right now looks to be stage 2, +1 lymph node, but we will know more after my PET scan that will be done on the 12th and bone scan on 16th. She said she really wants to r/o stage IV cancer by reviewing my PET scan and more test.

Going to have a blood panel, EKG and chest x-ray done today. She also mention MUGA Scan. Probley will have chemo first then surgery and then rads. Just depends on all the test results.

Thanks for all the support and info. I'm just begining my long journery, but taking on one day at a time and once step at a time.

Hugs to all
Annette
