Things seem to be going pretty well so far. I did better with this last chemo - since I cut down on my steroid dose and got plenty of sleep. I am still fatigued and a few other relatively minor symptoms - but nothing too bad overall.
I had a repeat breast MRI done today - to see if the tumor has shrunk with the chemo. I should know the results in a few days - but it will not change any of the plans.
I am getting ready to meet with three different doctors to determine which reconstructive surgery will best meet my needs (a general surgeon, plastic surgeon and a radiation oncologist). It should be interesting to hear from all three perspectives.
On another note, Natalie started second grade today and Andrew starts kindergarten on friday. I spent all day yesterday with Nat. We met her teacher and did a ton of paper work, etc at school. Then we went out to lunch. I took a nap and she played at home for a bit. Then we picked up Andrew and went to an IMAX movie. It was a busy but fun day.
Andrew is scared - but I think also excited to start school. He has spent the last month with the school-aged kids at his daycare/preschool and seems to be enjoying it. He has picked up a few new phrases and habits that I could do without - but overall it has been a good experience.
Steve and I are thrilled at the concept of one school for the kids. No more two drop-offs and pick-ups - so our life will get a bit easier which is very welcome right now. Now if they would just learn to clean up after themselves....
