 Thanks, zippyt. Oh, just for you , zip  Monster--I will prolly start this week if my PET scan tomorrow is neg for metz. If there is metz, the deal is off. No, not this week, coz my port won't be put in until Monday. I would imagine next week after port implantation. sheesh, there is so much stuff to think of and do...kinda overwhelming.

Sounds good given the circs. Good Luck with it all -when do you start?
I could maybe put the boiled eggs inside tennis balls and hit them in your direction? Maybe use beest's compressed air nerf cannon to launch them?

Wait a sec... "National... Breast and Bowel Project"?
I'm real sorry babe, but, isn't that a porn site? Ask Els, I'm sure he'd know...

I like breasts, have only half the normal amount of bowel, and must have missed that web site.
Bri, this sounds really exciting and promising. Just remember that no matter what trial you are in, *you* are the single most critical ingredient to success. Now is the time to start doing some meditation coupled with visualization. Get into your zone, and start visualizing that fucker shrinking, cringing before the onslaught of your will and the meds coursing through your blood stream. Visualize it dissolving, melting, vanishing. Do this upon rising and again upon retiring. Program your body to manifest your will. Faith is not the belief in something that you cannot see. Faith is the belief that *you* control your reality, your body...your piece of the universe. Now go kick that motherfucker's cancerous ass.

Right, monster.
This trial is about what best shrinks the tumor so that a lumpectomy can be performed instead of a mastectomy. They want to save as much breast tissue as they can to make reconstruction either minimal or completely avoidable. If I had a lumpectomy now, half my breast would be gone; a mastectomy would require a total reconstruct. By shrinking and THEN doing what little reconstruction is needed, I imagine all sorts of insurance money is saved (see? I'm not completely naive  Surgery is in my future--they just want to deal with a smaller demon. I appreciate everyone's input, etc. There is so much for me to think about and decide I need this kind of dialog--don't feel bad at all, Pie. I am glad you asked those questions--I hadn't thought of the points you brought up and it made me do some research!

What Dana affirmed about what Ducks said. Other people knowing what to say helps me to get information I otherwise wouldn't have known because I don't know enough to know what questions to ask (huh? what kind of sentence was that?)
Thinking of you, Bri!
