Wednesday- April 11- Well, TOMMROW is the big day. I take the next step in this journey. I will be officially a "Chemo patient." We check in at 8:30 and will be there ALL day. I will first get lab work drawn, then wait for to see Dr. Jani, then head to the Chemo room. It's gonna be a LONG day for Mark, my mom (my weakest link :) ) and dad and I. They will also be drawing blood to send to for genetic testing for the P53 gene which is also linked to breast cancer. We should have results within a week. This afternoon I went and got all stocked up on hand sanitizer and lysol spray (from now on I will officially be a germafob, but even worse than Mark- HA!) and lots of goodies to snack on for tommrow and the weekend. I would be lying if I did not say I was not afraid- BUT I know that it will be okay in the end. I know this is a bump in the road for me and GREAT things will come out of this. My mind is already a thinkin' of how to make things better for breast cancer patients, especially those who are young (like me). Thank you all for your support through all this and thank you for your continued prayers, faith and steadfast love!

PS: Dont forget to come out to Relay on the 20th. We will have a campsite and I have been asked to read the Luminaria poem that night. I dont care if I am sick as a dog- I WILL be there :) Just look for the big red- PINKED out tent!!!
