Hello friends. Our hope is that this blog will function as a two-way communication line--for us to keep you updated on how things are going with Shari saving second base ;o), and for you to have a convenient way to send her words of encouragement. Thanks for visiting.

Hi family and friends- Just wanted to keep you in the loop with what's going on with my girls... Ian and I just got back from Johns Hopkins for a second opinion. The oncology team there is great and re-explained everything that we'd already been told here at West Virginia University. At this point I think I'm going to go ahead with the lumpectomy scheduled for April 7. I'll get about a month after that before any other types of treatment are started, during which time the tumor will be sent to CA for Oncotype DX testing. This helps determine if I'll need chemo. If I do, that'll start at the end of April. Otherwise, radiation will start. I'm hoping for the latter because, really, who wants to be bald??!! So, fortunately for me, we'll start with the less-invasive surgery. Unfortunately for Ian, he doesn't get his wife to look like the Sports Illustrated swim suit models!
