Ugggh. Not expecting this....

I saw a surgeon last Friday and his treatment plan was more aggressive than I had anticipated. I was not thrilled with that news, but it is what it is.  I am scheduled for an MRI and a PET CT Scan tomorrow to find out if I have cancer anywhere in my bones, liver, other organs OR if I have additional cells in the breast area which haven't been detected in the mammograms/ultrasounds.  After this assessment, I will be able to determine a good course of treatment.  Next Thursday I will have another doctor with MD Anderson review my diagnostic tests to ensure that she agrees with the treatment plan that the Woodlands surgeon has suggested.  Then I'll decide on my medical team.  It does look like I may have to have chemotherapy which I was hoping against.  (Isn't my hair my best feature?? I think so....  )

My boss and her boss are so incredibly supportive of me.  I feel very VERY blessed to be in the job that I'm in if I have to be going through this.  My boss said, "We're just gonna' throw you a few softballs for awhile until you feel ready to take on more assignments." They've told me that once I start treatment that I can work from home or come in to the office and that the most important thing is taking care of myself. What a relief!  My co-workers are amazing as well! 

And have I mentioned my friends?  Their love is elevating my spirits beyond belief! Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.  I am truly blessed!!

Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
