Yesterday was my first Susan G Komen Walk. I had no idea what a huge event this is. Our team raised over $1200 for the cause and the total for that was raised by all was over $400,000. Wow! It really felt great to be there with all of the supporters. The picture on the left is a group picture of the survivors. The one on the top is of me and my friend Ellen VanOssen who I met this spring. She just turned 30 and is battling this disease. I was really surprised at how many young women were in survivor shirts. It really shows me that this is not an older women's problem it is a problem for all women (and men) and we need to find a cure now so that no one else has to be touched by this. Thank you to all that supported our team. The following is the picture of our team.
As for my progress, I start radiation tomorrow. I will be seeing my oncologist, getting my 5th infusion of Herceptin and then have my first radiation. It will be a full afternoon. I have my next appointment with my plastic surgeon on Tuesday, but at this point it is unlikely that he will remove the drain. I hope to get it out soon - it will be 3 weeks since my surgery on Tuesday and I am really getting tired of it.
