Thanks GrayFal...thanks everyone.....
Good news today......appointment with oncology surgeon in Guadalajara ( which by the way makes Boston driving a piece of cake LOL, there was a post from beagle Mom on that I believe)......my son took me in to appt. on his first driving adventure to Guad., he did awesome....took me a year to drive there....he has also been playing nurse, changing my bandages, cooking, cleaning, you name it he has been doing it... I am so proud of him....he told me..." Mom, do not worry, I am here for you and I will be with you all the way, I mean all the way, right by your side, hand in hand, you won't go thru this alone". What an incredible, caring young man I have raised. ( The surgeon said when your son becomes a pilot he can bring you here in a helicopter via our heliport...hahah...I told him I have no intention of coming here that long....LOL. )
Anyway.....the lymph nodes are draining properly now......yippee...the drains do not have to be put back in.....the sling is gone....the compression dressings gone.....routine of exercises given to me to get shoulder and height function back in my arms especially the right one.....and best of all....yup I am typing with right and left hand....way cool...
Do not have to see surgeon for a month.....have to see plastic surgeon though but not until I feel ready....which might be a while....not high on my list of priorities now, but reconstruction is already started with skin expanders so I do have to follow thru at some point....LOL.
Next step chemo cycle one of 6 to start this coming tuesday.......sure going to take advantage of next few days.....one step at a time I guess.....
You know this Cancer hurts so many......way too many....my heart aches when I hear of the numbers and how many have been affected by this breast cancer, let alone other cancers.....and all those involved with the victims.......I pray for them all....
This terrible breast cancer can take away my breasts, as it has....and can weaken my will and spirit but it cannot take away my drive or fight......at least not now.....I plan to give this cancer a real run for its money.........I thus far am fortunate, nothing in my organs, bones, and had only entered one lymph node, so 3 were removed....so I plan to beat this....and enjoy my family, friends, and cyber family, for a long time to come...and I plan to tell as many as possible to check ever so closely for this breast disease.......so do your self breast exams now before even doing another single post....that includes men, yes men get breast cancer too!!!
Keep sending me the postive thoughts and prayers my friends....especially during my chemo.....you are all walking me thru this and holding my hand.....and I thank you all...I hope in the future to meet many of you, somehow, someway....( in person), but for this weekend....I am typing away, posting and yup playing the lotto......you know what I do not even need the points, I received so many posts, good wishes etc. I won way more than the lotto....way, way more....I feel very blessed by all of you!!!!

) Anyway, at the same time there was another woman in my city who had made the same hair choice. The Gap was one of my favorite haunts for kids clothes and I was quite well known there.One day a staff member saw the bald head and went up and gave a big hug. Needless to say, it wasn't me. Luckily the other woman took it well, and said "Don't worry, we bald women all look alike! 
"
see what I mean "been there done that crowd", way, way too many..
now his transcripts go off to Mexican government so he can start flight school in Guadalajara in August I hope!!!
