Ready...Set...GO

      Met with the oncologist today over at Lakeland. Very nice and up front guy who talks with his hands a lot and has freakishly long fingers. Glad he's an oncologist and not a proctologist. All kidding aside we have some more information. Her bone scan came back great and the CT scan showed nothing to be concerned about right now. She is Stage 2a which is great! So two REALLY BIG THUMBS way way up on that score. Now onto the next 6 months. Ready...set...GO:
      Becca will meet with a surgeon on Wednesday to talk about having a port put in and hopefully that will be done shortly after. 2 Chemo drugs will be given over 6 months the first being what people apparently like to call the "Red Devil". This is the one that causes the hair loss and general crappy feeling. She will have 1 treatment every 2-3 weeks for 4 sessions. After this she will get another drug once a week for 12 weeks. This is accompanied by more crappiness but not as severe. I still don't know if I'm going to call her Powder or Cue Ball. I'll have to see her first I guess.
      Her co-workers have been truly amazing after they found out. One has given her a very soft blanket, neck pillow and some good lotion to use during chemo. Oh, not to mention super soft and warm socks and a bag to carry it all in.
      Still trying to get word out there about the donation page so thank you all who have shared it. And one of my best friends, Amy Hackney, has started a Tastefully Simple fundraiser party for Rebecca! Feel free to take a look here!
      Anyways thanks all again for all the support. If not for our friends and family, not to mention strangers, sending the kind words and thoughts our way this would be way harder. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER!

. Till next time,
