We've arrived

Well, we made the 888 trip in just under 14 hours. It was tedious, but hopefully it will be worth it. Tomorrow my first appointment is at 1200 pm (intake). Then I get to see Dr. Litton (cancer doc) & have more tests run. Friday is more tests. We'll most likely be here at least through Monday (drive home Tuesday). While we were driving I got a call from a Gyn nurse here at MD Anderson to let me know she needs to meet with me - hopefully Friday. Since MDA doesn't have their own OBs, they're going to set me up with a 'high risk' OB next door. That probably won't happen until Monday. I'll probably also see Dr. Litton again Monday after all my tests results are in to her.

I'm kind of nervous b/c tomorrow is the day that I actually find out what the pathology report says... In other words, I'll find out the specifics (how bad, prognosis, spread, etc) of what breast cancer I actually have. Its kind of nerve wracking, but Andrew & Mom (as well as some wonderful Xanax) are helping me get some sleep and eat a little bit.

I just had to have my mom buzz my hair because it was falling out so badly.
