So not much to report but felt like putting an entry. I met with my surgeon and my surgery is scheduled for April 16th. I will be out of work from April 16th returning to the office on Star Wars Day (May the 4th). I will be having a lumpectomy and having a few lymph-nodes removed. After that is radiation. I meet with the Radiation Oncology doctor in early April. I know I will have radiation everyday for about 6 weeks.
My family auditioned for the Family Feud yesterday. It was fun but short! We were the third group up and they ask each group only two question so one family can answer and the other family huddles and then they switch. We were out by noon. Now we wait to see if we get a postcard in a few weeks to let us know that we are in there pool of families to pick for taping the next season.
My hair should be growing back soon. I will not be sad if my leg hairs and arm pit hairs don't grow back. I do want my eyelashes, eye brows and hair on my head to grow back.

This just in!!!!
Here I am hanging out with my sister on a Friday evening watching Wheel of Future when my cellphone rings... it's my oncologist. He wanted to let me know the findings of my MRI that I had yesterday. They are measuring in millimeters this time instead of centimeters like that last time, which means the tumor is much smaller!
The tumor in my left breast measured 3.8 x 3.7 cm back in November, it is now 6 x 5 mm. The left axillary lymph nodes that measured up to 3.9 x 2.6 cm in November are now 14 x 5 mm.

This is awesome news!!!!

BYE CHEMO!
I did my final round of chemo today and all I can say is BYE!
I'm so excited to be done with this part of the treatment! Now it's a waiting game. Waiting for an MRI appointment and waiting for an appointment with my surgeon.
Neither my oncologist nor I can feel the tumor anymore which is a great sign. The tumor was fairly large (measuring 3.8 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm) and very easy to feel. He also can not feel the lymph nodes that were enlarged during my first exam with him, another good sign. I am anxious to see the new MRI results.
Since I took a selfie for my first round of chemo, it's only right I take a selfie for my final round of chemo.
