Eight Chemo Treatments Behind Me

Now that the side effects are wearing off from my eighth chemotherapy treatment I feel like I can finally say that I'm done. It's hard to believe that my first treatment was May 15th and now I am finally through it.
Tomorrow I have an MRI and my surgery is scheduled for Friday, November 13th. My surgeon is encouraged with how my tumour seems to have responded to the chemotherapy. We will know for sure after the MRI but he thinks that I will not need a mastectomy. Yay!
I found out that I will be considered "cancer free" once I have my surgery. Another yay!

This is a picture of me getting my chemotherapy drugs. I have ice mitts on my feet and hands to keep my circulation slow so that the drugs don't go to my fingers and toes. If it had then I could have lost my nails.

This is a picture of me ringing the Victory Bell in the Chemo Ward at the General Hospital.

Thanks Telus and Rethink Breast Cancer

I am writing this post from my NEW BLACKBERRY that was given to me by Telus and an organization called "Rethink Breast Cancer". The service will be covered for a year, free of charge, by Telus. This is through a program called "Technology + Treatment", who's aim is to provide BlackBerries to young women with breast cancer so that they can manage all their appointments and procedures. I've been lugging around a huge binder until now, so the phone comes as a great relief. I also will be able to post more and respond to everyone faster now!
Thank you Telus and Rethink Breast Cancer!
