Loyalty Like No Other!

So support, comments all from family, friends and colleagues are like doses of vitamins to fight this thing--you never realize how much you need it until you get it--and then it helps you sail through.  Well, SAIL might be pushing it--so chemo treatment people promised me a lovely 3-5 day EXTRAVAGANZA of feeling like shit and I could check each item off one by one starting Thursday Nov. 5th--right through to today the 10th when I am just barely walking--but did make it up the 3 flights to office to have great morning meetings with my staff--the miracle workers getting me through this--then comes in the accountant, personal trainer for staff and lunch (not feelin' it!) but it's great to see all after first hideous round. Even though I am told each round will be worse--now I know what to expect and how supportive people around me are--John, Antonia my housekeeper that if I could I would marry-and countless others--but with 5 dogs only 2 seem to really sense an illness-trying to nuzzle the cancer out of my breast SINCE I found the lump!  No lie!  But my bulldog is beyond loyal--he has NOT left my side-not once even to eat the whole weekend I was in bed in a ball of agony.  I finally took this shot of us myself. He saved me. Thanks Tyrone.

Rhonda, you simply amaze me (& others too I am quite sure).
You are not only so courageous, you are in inspiration to so many. Why? Because you care. Let's face it, how many women or indeed men for that matter, would take the time and effort to put all this together for the purpose of educating others as I see it? All this while you are dealing with doctors and hospital visits along with the pain, the drugs, there side effects etc. etc. If all this info that you can connect to in this blog has a positive impact with just one woman, then it makes it all worth it. The secret is there is no secret! We all know it's about early detection and I am sure that just from your sharing your story will have all kinds of women self-examining more frequently than they would have, then it is all worth it!
