Surgery

My surgery is scheduled for May 16....which is quickly approaching.  I am not going to lie, I am a little nervous about the procedure and recovery process.  While the surgery means that the cancer will be removed from my body, it also means that my body will be changing...forever.  It is a loss and I don't think it will truly hit me until after the surgery. 

On the other hand, surgery means I am one step closer to being done with the treatment phase and officially becoming a member of the cancer survivor club!  This will symbolize a new beginning.

It has been four weeks since my last chemo and I am still waiting for my body to get back to normal again.  Mainly for my hair to start growing back and to stop having hot flashes.  It has been awesome to not have chemo every other week and I am noticing that I have more energy these days. The day of my surgery will be exactly six months from the day I was diagnosed.  Cray! That seems like so long ago and I am realizing that a lot has happened in six months...I can only wonder where I will be once I hit the one year mark!

Here are some pics from my End of Chemo/31st Birthday Party!!!
