I have just finished 5 months of chemo and that was nowhere near as frightening as the thought of this. I know the reality of it all is going to be tough and I really don't know if I am ready for it.

On a positive note I do have a professional shoot booked for tomorrow to help me say goodbye to my body. Thanks Heaps Sue
