On June 14, 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It had not gone to other places in my body, and now I have completed chemo and mastectomy (followed by mastectomy on normal side). I have been able to work continuously, with the enormous and unending support of my patients, my staff and my coworkers. I continue to be humbled by the constant kindness provided to me by those I am supposed to be careing for, and by the many who have walked this path before me.

Ready for chemo
I worked hard to get all the patients seen (and surgery done) so that I can start chemo tomorrow. We will see how it goes. I may have no hair next week. But that means I can get up later in the morning. I do plan to return to seeing patients next Tuesday. One day at a time. On a happy note, so many patients, doctors, friends have been so nice (hydrangeas from the back yard, cards, soft shirt for chemo, and my favorite: a patient told me today about a t-shirt that said, "Yes, they are fake. But the real ones tried to kill me." It was a great day.
