So much support...

Lana has been overwhelmed by the amount of love and support from family and friends.  Everyone has been so kind and loving with their words of encouragement and prayers.  My cousin, Debbie, had a dinner at her house last night and invited all the women in our family to come and wish Lana well on her upcoming treatment.  It was such a fun night.  The food was delicious and the company even better.  Lana was so grateful to everyone and loved being with so much family.  Thank you Debbie and thank you to everybody for your concern and love!!

The surgery to place the port was successful and went really well.  Although her neck is sore and tender, Lana is feeling good and is glad that part is over.  She has a couple of battle scars to show off now.  Now we will pray and fast for the first chemo treatment next Tuesday to go smoothly.

Here we go...

Welcome to Lana's blog!  This is where you can find all the latest info on her breast cancer journey.  So as of right now, this is what's going on...

Lana will getting her portacath surgically implanted tomorrow morning in an outpatient procedure.  The first set of four chemo treatments will start on Tuesday, February 3rd.  She will receive a treatment once every two weeks.  After the first set of treatments, the oncologist will do scans to determine if a second set of chemo treatments is needed.  Surgery will follow the treatments.  Several people have asked Lana if she is going to lose her hair.  The answer is yes.  Boo-hoo.  The good news is, there are lots of cute wigs and hats and she will be looking as foxy as ever.  Thank you everyone for your continuing love and prayers!  She has great faith that everything is going to turn out ok.
