4 more to go! Almost done!

The quick update: We meet with the surgeon again on Wednesday to talk more about “the plan”. We met with Dr. Cross, the radiation doctor, last week and he has very nice. He was very prepared and I felt like he was familiar with my file and situation, so my radiation should be a breeze!

Also, my Grandma got to go home from the hospital finally, and she’s doing good. :)

There’s been some interest in walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on September 9th. I’d love to do it if my surgery schedule permits, which I should know soon hopefully. If I end up not being able to be there, I know my friend Jenni is planning on doing it for sure. I hope it works out for me to be there so I can walk with other “survivors” and supporters. If anyone else is interested let me know!
