Updates
Was just thinking of you today and am so glad to see this update.
You are going to do GREAT with chemo!
As for the records, you have a legal right to change your record. Screw that doctor (and his staff) that told you differently. When the drugs really make you feel like you want to squish someone's privates, send a quick note to the state medical board. ;)
In the meantime, take care of YOU and gear up for your treatment.
Also -- not sure that your office will allow this, but when a friend had to be out and it wasn't covered under FMLA , people at her work place were allowed to "donate" time to her. I'm sure you don't want to ask for donations, but if it's a viable option, it'd be nice to know...
Good luck!
You shouldn't fear cancer. Cancer should fear YOU! You are awesome!!! It's unfortunate that you should have to know so much in order to get the proper treatment. It's scary to think of all of the people that aren't as smart or researched as you are. They unknowingly and understandably trust their doctors.
I used Bernie Siegel audio tapes to prepare for my DS but I know it is also used for chemo and such. I loved this tape so much I listened to it right until the moment I went into surgery. He has amazing tapes and books. I also love the video tape "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. It has been a touchstone in my life. There are cancer survivors on that tape that will inspire you.

Workload has really increased now that school is gearing back up (I work at a university). I don't have that much downtime anymore, like I did in the summer. I wish that I had the time to respond to everyone, but I don't think that's possible this time :(
I want to thank everyone for their caring thoughts, kind words, and support. I love my OH family!!!
