it'll be the 29th of january (this month)!!!

so i have ten days to prepare. and also prepare for ANE, because i -am- still going to that convention and i -am- still going to be vending. i will not be stopped.

this last week i had a CAT scan, a bone scan, met with an oncologist, met with a genetic counciler, had a lot of my blood drawn and also picked up a bunch of clothing thatll be easier to wear after the operation. i'm finally back at home, still very tired, but glad to have them be done poking and prodding me and stuffing me into weird machinery.

after the surgery the tumor will be biopsied (along with a lymph node) and then i'll get the final staging of either stage 2 or stage 3. depending on the biopsy i may or may not have to do injection chemotherapy. if i don't need chemo i can move right on to radiation once i'm healed up from surgery.

so......i may have got cancer for xmas, but i'll be getting top surgery for my birthday. HA.

thank you everyone for your support, well wishes and help so far.
