Sent DH to work again. He came home a little early to help finish up Luke's Pinewood Derby car. Why does it sometimes feel like everything hits at once? (I also got a summons for jury duty right when we started going through all of this diagnosis and testing. I had to ask the oncologist at Huntsman to write me a doctor's note excusing me from it...)

Got a call from Nereida at Huntsman letting me know that I was accepted into the clinical trial. We will go in for some lab work and to meet with Dr. Werner (my medical oncologist at Huntsman) on Wednesday and start my first cycle of chemotherapy on Thursday. I can't believe that this is really going to happen... She also informed me that I was randomized into group 1 which means that I will have the full treatment dose every three weeks, with just blood work on the in-between weeks.

Also got a call from University Hospital to answer a bunch of background questions before my port surgery on Tuesday. They also informed me that I needed to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. with the surgery scheduled for 7:30.

This was the last day that I nursed MJ. She has been so good about it, but it has been hard for me emotionally, especially when I know it is such a source of comfort for her. We quickly cut her down to twice a day and then once a day. She has woken up at night once or twice since that first night of no feedings and we havr just let her cry herself back to sleep. That's hard for me to do, but necessary at this point. Hopefully she will start wanting to just sit and cuddle with me without wanting to nurse. I miss that.
