Hurry UP and WAIT!

Any woman who's been diagnosed with Breast Cancer will tell you that they are anxious to get on with it! Surgery can't come soon enough. The waiting is the hard part, but today is the day that I get my needle core biopsies on three of the tumors. At last, I feel like I'm moving forward and not sitting still.

I have read, studied, researched and read some more. It's my personality to be a detail person and I HAVE to know and understand every part of what is going to happen. My brother always teases me that he can see my brain moving and thinking so fast that smoke comes out my ears...he's not a detail person so he thinks it's funny. Is it a woman thing? I haven't slept well because my brain is always thinking and won't shut off. I tried reading before bed, which usually works, but I find I read the same chapter 20 times while my brain was in another place. Yeah, I'm good like that! Multi-tasking is a gift! :)

My mother is a cancer survivor having breast and colon cancer. She lost so much weight with the colon cancer that I inherited her wardrobe! I am wearing one of her capri sets today to my biopsy so I'll have a piece of my mother with me. I CAN DO THIS!
