It sounds like I could go out there on July 9th for a week of prescreening and if that goes well I would do 4 days of chemo. I could then come back for two weeks and return either for the start of the transplant or one more cycle of chemo. It all depends on how the chemo works. Now they are telling me that when I come out for the outpatient chemo I will need to have someone with me 24 hours a day. I have never needed anyone to accompany me to chemo. I'm not sure how I will work that out. I was having a hard enough time trying to find people to be there after the transplant. Of course there is the expense of flying people out as well.
I told several people at work today including my supervisor. They are all fine with me leaving. We are so busy at work I hate to dump all my work on them. I haven't told my staff that I will be taking 4 months off. Everyone is so stressed out these days that I'm not sure how to tell them about this.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 12/04. I did lots of chemo to prevent it's return. In 6/06 I was told that I had a new primary tumor. I was tested and found out that I was BRCA 1+. I had surgery and did more preventative chemo that ended in 1/07. In 2/07 I was told that I had lung mets. At this time my cancer seems to be chemo resistant. I had a Stem Cell Transplant through a clinical trial in 8/07. I had some liver mets show up in 2/08.
