Sometimes Time Seems to Go By So Slowly....

Hey Everyone!
Thanks for checking out my BLOG!

The latest....I've decided to go with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for my lumpectomy. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, September 24th - late in the day. I'm the last surgery of the day, so it might be a long day for me as I CAN'T EAT ALL DAY! (Until after surgery...) And you all know how much I love to eat!!!! But it'll be worth it because U of Penn was ranked one of the:

Of all 98 hospitals in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metropolitan area, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is ranked #1.

Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA is ranked nationally in 13 adult specialties. Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is a teaching hospital. It is also accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

After the surgery the oncologist will let me know the next step - when chemo starts and how much I need...and what kind...so stay tuned (and thank you so much for caring!)

This is the oncologist Dr. Tchou suggested I use: Susan M. Domchek, MD...

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW, I am so blessed to be able to go to U of Penn! And I can't wait to just get this done, it seems like it's taken forever to get to this point....when it all started only the first week in August....which really wasn't all that long ago...

PS I am really excited that I will have these two amazing women taking care of me! Nothing against the men, but I feel God has led me to a really good place with these two talented women watching out for me! I know I will be in GREAT hands!
