And So It Begins......
The back story to this post is......on Friday, August 5th I was diagnosed with breast cancer - invasive ductal carcinoma. At 35 years old, having a great summer with family, and preparing for the 2016-2017 school year, this was not the anticipated outcome I saw as an end to our summer. But here we are and our journey begins....
Yesterday Eric and I met with oncology to determine a treatment plan; however, there are a few missing pieces that need to be completed prior to finalizing a plan. A few more tests and appointments today and tomorrow and then hopefully we can start this journey forward! The initial plan calls for chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
We are taking things day by day in our house! A lot of you have asked to keep you updated so in an effort to not miss communicating with anyone I thought this blog would be the easiest way to share what is happening. We will use this forum to post updates and share information as we learn new things.
A big thank you to those who have already helped out, stopped by, and sent your prayers! A special thanks to my parents for taking the kids to their "land of toys" this week, to Eric's parents for bringing Champ home to us (after a weekend away), to Beth and the amazing Regis staff for their outpouring support and gifts, for MaryAnn's chicken pot pie, and for a visit from the Fandel's! You definitely know how to make a person feel loved!
We would love any and all prayers as we begin this journey!
