Next Steps are Good

Hi Everyone 

So I have completed the next step I have met my surgical team it's actually three teams and surgery is about 12 hours.  I know holy ssss.

My surgery is on August 11, 3 years and two days short of when I was first diagnoses.  Can you believe it I have been dealing with Breast Cancer for three years now.  My god the time did fly by.

In the last couple of weeks to get ready for surgery I think I have had everything tested, poked, x-ray, or scanned. And the nice thing is that absolutely everyone has been just lovely.  Don't get me wrong there are some serious missings in the Health Care system but the people are amazing and they are doing there best with what they have to work with.  I wonder everything a politician cuts services do they see there own families not getting the help they need.  The Prime Minister and past Premier are from Calgary and I wonder how fast the new Cancer center might have been started if they couldn't travel and there wives needed treatment.  Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Anyway enough about that, all the stress that goes with getting ready for the hospital certainly puts everything in perspective at work.  I can't fix everything and I can't get people to care about what I care about so letting it go.  That is very difficult for me I care about what I do and take ownership of my responsibilities and duties.  But when a hospital asks you what my plan is if everything doesn't go well in surgery and they want a copy of my living will. Yup everything went in respective order in a second.

I have also had some amazing things happen; I am part of the Alberta Cancer Foundation Cash and Cars lottery.  I got to be in the brochure and in the T.V, commercial.  And next week I also get to me in a video.

But most of all I am hugely thankful for my support team. My family first of course they have too :) After family there are the people that choose to be there.  People like Danielle and Ashley and all the people I consider family xoxoxox

Last then there is Adam Bornstein and Mike Caione, there by the grace of god they came into my life and turned me into something more than a survivor, now I really am a survivor and a achiever of the very best. My goal in life is to help people in the same way they helped me.  To believe in yourself is truly amazing gift you can give yourself.

Well that's enough for today, big week next week chat later xoxox


I WILL FIGHT FOR ME
