Well, I am going in today to get rid of some of the dead tissue to hurry along the healing process and then we will start chemo next Thursday, March 10th. It really seems like more of a reality now. So I guess, bring it on. Let's just get this process going. The doctors described it to be a fine line between waiting to be completely healed and starting the chemo, which is going to ultimately save my life. They said that once chemo starts basically all healing stops, or is extremely slowed down. So we are going for the happy medium.
I am so happy with the team at Northwestern though. When they say you will have a team of people working with you, it is so true, from surgeons to social workers. They have been extremely patient, kind and informative. I think a prerequisite to working in the cancer center at Northwestern is that you have to be genuinely nice and kind-hearted.
Love you Ali.
