Maria,
Terrific news! Finally! I'm so pleased to hear you have a doctor that you now feel comfortable with and a plan in place for treatment. Let me say that although it is scarey, what you have ahead of you, it is much less so when you have a doctor you feel you can trust. Your emotional well being should now improve.
I think you have done your research on this website and know alot about what to expect in regard to the chemo and the surgery but we are always here to help calm whatever fears you have. We BC survivors may all have some differences but thre are also many similarities. During treatment, whenever I got to worrying too much, I would get on this site and talk to someone, and afterwards, would always feel better. Family and friends can hold our hands but no one can really understand but those who have gone through chemo and RC. What a Godsend this website is for so many of us. There will be days ahead that will be challenging to say the least but I know you are up for it. Hang tough and keep us up to date on what is happening with you. Hugs! Melodie
