Full week ahead

[cmd]

8. That is a full week

I'm sure you won't have much time to think as you shuffle from one test to another.
I am lucky. I'm just a couple of miles from my local hospital and treatment center and I'm also on Medicare with a fairly good secondary insurance. So far the treatments haven't cost us much.

I've had all the test you mentioned. I suggest that your wife ask if she can talk during the procedures. It gets lonely when you are laying still for what seem forever. Being able to talk helps. The radiology team will tell her when to be quiet.

The advice I gave about crying was some of the best I heard. It breaks the ice when
down in the dumps and sometimes gets a big laugh.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in April 2010. I had no idea that I would still be here a year and a half later feeling fairly good and able to be a productive human being. Chemo was a wonderful awful experience. It has already given me so many more months with my family. I met so many wonderful doctors, nurses and patients during my treatments. This part of my life has given me a strange peace I cannot begin to describe. My thoughts will be with you this week.
