I had my first visit today with the plastic surgeon and Carinsa Gaston (Oncology program director) at Plano Presby. I received many products to assist me in my journey with Breast Cancer. I signed up for Nov. 17th for the "Look Good, Feel great" program. This program will actually give me a huge 'free kit' that will contain tons of donated makeup from Estee Lauder, Clinique and many other cosmetic companies. And, there will be make-up artists present to help us learn to apply eye brows, eye lashes, etc.
As of today, my double mastectomy surgery is scheduled for Oct. 16th.
And then the chemo will start approximately 3 weeks post surgery - every 21 days for approx. 5-6mths.
I've been told to expect to lose my hair around this time.
I'll be updating my blog weekly...please check out my journey whenever you feel like it.
Hugs, Wanda

Wanda..I found your blog through Andrea. I know how much you mean to Luke and his parents.....and I can see how much you love them. You are in my daily thoughts and prayers. I will be checking in on you often.
Hey Wanda! I can't believe I have never actually met you in person. I guess it is because I am usually visiting during the "non-nursing" days. I hope to meet you eventually! I know what a HUGE BLESSING you are to Luke and the Hughes. Looking forward to checking your blog. I will be praying for you in this journey.
Wanda,
I came to your blog via Andrea's blog. I do not know Andrea either, but was sent to her blog via another friend.
I am writing to ask you a favor. In just a few weeks I will be participating in the Breast Cancer 3-day here in Dallas. I was wondering if I could wear your name on my "why I walk" t-shirt along with the names of the many other women I have come in contact with who are battling breast cancer.
If this would be ok would you please respond to this comment.
Thanks,
Gloria
