Subject: RE: BS: I'm going under the knife tomorrow
I'm going through chemo myself right now....had my surgery back in January. I don't have breast cancer but I'm beginning to think cancer is cancer......it effects each of us different and the same in a very unique way.

I've cried, stomped, carried on, made new friends, found places of hope when I was sure there was none to be had, figured out what's really important (or not) in my life and that my imagination is not the best friend I thought it was. I've also found support, love, prayers, friendship and an occassional ass kicking right here at Mudcat.....all pretty much when I needed them. If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me.

In the meantime, eat the best as you can to fortify your body, get registered with the American Cancer Society...they have free wigs, will give you up to $300.00 towards transportation costs and can be very helpful. Read all you can about the specific cancer you have, treatments available, what to expect....knowledge is power, especially in the medical field.

Lots of love, prayers and a shoulder to lean on if you need one.
