young grandma ready to start chemo

I am in the waiting period, before the second surgery and before the Port.  I had a good conversation with my friend who has been through it all and she has completed all her treatments at this stage, and no more appointments.  I was angry with her at first because she told me too much, and didnt hold back on telling me how bad it was.  I can only hope the fact that I was healthy and not on any medication, plus reasonabley fit, not over weight, may work in my favour.  She was older than I, not fit, and already had health issues.  I am feeling great at the moment, because I had a very minimal surgery to start with.  The lump in boob 18 inch, and clear around it, but its the nodes that need second area removal.  I dont get too caught up in the medical terms, Im not a doctor, so Im not going to bother getting too involved with that.  I recall when I was 17 years old and had to get my Wisom teeth taken out.  Wow did I hear some scarey stories!  Then it was my turn, it was a breeze.  So, I am hoping to experience a bit of good luck along the way, and not be the one telling the worst story!  (smiling).  I have a blue sky out there today, and as Ive learnt here in Tasmania, that requires immediate participation, because you never know when the rain or wind will be back!  Good luck Tracey.  I will keep an eye on you, as youre only just a step infront of me!  We will face this together hey!
