It's a GOOD day!!

I thought I'd share a picture that was taken yesterday. I had a funeral to go to and decided this was a good opportunity to try out my wig. What do you think? It felt strange (and itchy) on my head, but I don't think it was too obvious to those that wouldn't know I'm actually a bit of a baldy! Although I swear my hair is growing in like crazy!! My sincere condolences to Sharon and Jeff...our thoughts are with you and your family!



I have been struggling with a bad cold/flu bug the last couple of days and I feel like crap. I have the sore throat, the chills and no energy...it stinks! It all started with that Team Canada loss...

Even feeling crappy I have to tell you that today was a REALLY good day! We went to see Dr. Califaretti to get the pathology results from my surgery and the report could hardly have been better!

Dr. Judges removed 17 lymph nodes (that means I have to make sure I keep doing my exercises for my left arm...don't want anything to freeze up or swell!!), and not one of those lymph nodes showed cancer. Also, none of the blood vessels or ducts showed any cancer! At this point there is no evidence that the cancer spread outside of the breast...at this point it looks like the chemotherapy did it's job!! They did find some minuscule cancer cells in the tissue they removed. The tumour was so large and it would have been very difficult for the chemo to work it's way through the whole thing, but I'd say it did a pretty damn good job!!

What does all this mean? It means at this point it looks like the cancer is gone! Of course there are no 100% guarantees, and I'll have appointments in the future to make sure that's the case. And of course, I still have radiation to get through. We're just waiting for the call from the Radiation Oncologists' office with my first appointment.

Bring on the third period! I'm ready!!
