Denial- More Than A River In Egypt

I realize today that I am getting by these last weeks only by denial. All my life I dreaded cancer, and most specifically breast cancer, and now with the diagnosis myself, I am pretty glib about it. I think it has not really become a reality for me. I am still in the twilight zone or La La Land of disbelief. The initial appointment with Dr. Dahlia Sataloff  is this Friday when I will find out what specifics are in store for me and I can then know what I will have to do. I will feel much better then when I can plan my summer and know what to expect.

I went on the Susan G Komen for the Cure web site for information which I found very helpful as well as talking to other women who have been through this process themselves. I cannot wait to meet the doctors and get the real information on my specific case. The nurse navigator from HUP got me an earlier appointment (June 27) with Dr. Brian Czerniecki so I do not have to wait another 2 weeks.

I am wrapping up projects and details as we go down the shore and finish up odds and ends around the house so I can prepare for surgery.
