Created with love for Toni as she takes on breast cancer and enjoys a healthier life.

C-Day (like D-Day)
Day 1 - It is 6am-ish and Toni is sleeping... I will be getting her up shortly. Our day will start with a blood draw, an education class on how this chemo thing works, and then the 1st infusion. We had gone a walk recently, and Toni said "I feel good." And she looks good. So the great news is she is starting from a good position. Still a little frustrated with the nagging come and go pain in her arm, but overall doing ok. Our diet has changed dramatically, and she has surprised me (and maybe even herself) with how well things can taste, yet be wonderfully satisfying. Now the trick is to try to keep ahead of the fatigue to follow. A summary will appear at the end of the day, and now begins the countdown of treatments... 26 bottles of infusion on the wall... yada yada yada.
