There are four days until surgery. I met with my radiation oncologist and he helped to confirm that my most favorable chances with this type of cancer is to have a bilateral mastectomy. So, next Thursday is the day. Check in at 6:30 am and will head home some time within the following two days.
Emotions have really run the gammet over the last couple of days... for the most part, I am upbeat and positive and expect the best, but some days have been hard. Again, I am so thankful for friends, family and all those who show endless support and encouragement.
PSVBC rocks! The party was fun and I was thrilled to see my girls, John, and all those who we have had the opportunity to work with through this past season! Thank you!
About Me

- I currently have the best job in the world, a teacher at Federal Way High School. Teaching is my passion. I spend my free time collecting M&M dispensers and garb, hanging out with family and friends, coaching club volleyball (my second passion), camping, and working at Safeco field where I love the Mariners! My future goals include pursuing my National Board certification and winning the lottery! My beautiful daughter, Brittany, just graduated from FW and is off to Eastern to earn her teaching degree. She is my shining star!
Teri,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kari. I am Rick Priest's wife. I, too, am battling breast cancer and have been since my diagnosis April 9th. Know that with your surgery you are on a path to healing and recovery. Wonderous things are being done in the battle against breast cancer. Hold tight to those who love and support you as they will be your lifeline through the tough spots. Know that many are praying for you and hold you close in their hearts, including me! You WILL beat breast cancer! We didn't choose this path but courage and belief that you will be cancer free will carry you through!
Love and prayers from a fellow survivor!
Kari
Teri, You are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I am so glad that I finally got to catch up with you last Friday, along with Erin :) Let your "Wellspring family" know if you need anything. You are a strong, beautiful woman who we all can admire. Staci
