Just got off the phone with the nurse from Dana-Farber. It looks like I will not be eligible for the clinical study that involves chemo. The study is not going to start realistically until the earliest November. Since that is the case, I will miss the 6 month window from surgery until the study starts. I really don't know how I feel about this. I did however have a very in depth conversation with the nurse in regards to the exercise and diet portion of the study. I need to have moderate exercise for at least 180 minutes a week and have a very low fat diet. I have been walking about 3 miles a day, so that is great but as far as the low fat diet...I need to get busy on that. As far the chemo they would have put me on, they are not even close to knowing if it helps triple negative breast cancer or not. This too makes me have mixed emotions..
Anyway, everything is going great here.. Enjoying the last few weeks of summer. Hope you are too.
As an afterthought, I want you all to know that my computer crashed about 3 weeks ago. I have since bought a laptop but have lost all your email addresses... Help!

Summer
The summer is going so quickly. We have been relaxing and enjoying it dispite the weather. We spent last weekend in Virginia with my family celebrating my niece Jeannie's college graduation. I thought that I would post a few pictures for you to see.
I contacted Dana Farber in regards to the study. They are still awaiting the final paper work before they can get started.. I will keep you posted.
Hope that you are all enjoying your summer...
