I am so nervous for tomorrow. I have my first chemotherapy treatment in the morning. I just don't know what to expect. I know all of the facts, and I could describe every treatment and drug, but I just don't know how my body is going to react to the treatment. I keep telling myself that it is going to be horrible, but deep down that is my way of being pleasantly surprised when it isn't as bad as I had imagined.
This new chapter in my life still doesn't feel real. I know it is happening to me, but I worry sometimes that I am not letting it sink in. I am unbelievably at peace with this disease. I truly believe that I will be fine in the end, but that doesn't mean I am not scared. I do know that I have put my boxing gloves on (literally, thanks to my dear Laura!), and I plan on kicking this cancer's ass!

Hey Suz! This is just a quick note to let you know that I am thinking about you today. Heck, I think about you every day, but especially today. I am in your corner, and all my money is on you. I know you are going to show those cancer cells whose boss.
I love you lots!

Susie - This is Rachel Rosemire - I found your blog through Missy, as I found her on MySpace and Facebook.
Of course I get minor updates from the Goman family, but I am looking forward to reading your blog to fully understand what you are going through.
I just wanted you to know that I think about you and what you're going through and wish and hope for you to beat this thing. I have another friend our age going through breast cancer also - it's shocking.
Be well and I hope you don't mind me following your blog about it.
Lots of love to you and your family!
-Rachel
