Let the Prayers Begin.... or continue :)

My surgery is 5 days away.... double mastecomy. Nervous? yep. Looking forward to it? Nope.. Looking forward to getting this nasty cancer OUT of my body... YES!!!!!

My surgery is this Friday, June 1st @ 8:30 a.m. I will prob. be in the hospital for 3 days, then from what I hear it's pretty rough for the first week, but then the recovery starts...

I am also praying for "clear margins" around the cancer so I won't have to do radiation therapy... which is every day, 5 days a week for 6 weeks (not fun).

I love you all... and I LOVE the support and prayers.

This has been a LOOOOOOOOOOOng 9 months of our lives......we are all ready for healing and a cancer free existance!!!

Blessings to you today,

:) Shanda :)
