onc said the sentinal node biopsy showed no cancer, so the cancer had not spread. YAY!!!!!
So, I'm Stage IIA. This is a good thing.
The schedule next week: Monday, go to the dentist. (you can't go to the dentist when you're under chemo, because of the risk of infection)
tuesday: chemo school
wednesday: get my lovely locks cut
thursday: first chemo
My hair should start falling out around April 1st. What chemo does is destroy the protein at the base of the hair shaft. It takes about 7 to 10 days for that part to move to the surface of the scalp.

good news, indeed! glad that you got a profuse apology from your onc. even docs need to be reminded what it feels like to be a patient. you waited too long; his staff should have noticed and done something. keep speaking out! many are listening and will learn how to take this journey with you and others who will cross this path. thanks for sharing!
