Mastectomy is scheduled for Friday, 4/7

I'm frustrated and upset today. After trying to reschedule this appointment because I knew today would be hard with Taxol side effects, I had to take myself over to Kaiser and I made sure to allow enough time to be on time for my 2 pm appt.

I didn't get into an exam room until 3, and when Veronica, my surgeon, showed up to see me just after that I told her I had used up all my time, that I'd have to leave shortly in order to be home for Heshy's return from school.

After the briefest exam Veronica set the operation for Friday morning, 4/7. She said it will be up to me whether I stay one night or two.

I had a long list of questions which went unasked because of the time constraints. Veronica promised me she'd answer all my questions on line.

One positive comment Veronica had to offer is that the part I'm going through now, the chemo and side effects, is the worst part of the whole breast cancer treatment. I'm skeptical.

Anyway, April 7 it is.
