Rounds 4 and 5 coming up quick

Even before the start of Round 3, I am having to prepare for Rounds 4 and 5.

I wanted to sit in my corner and prepare for the next round following my re-excision this Thursday but it seems that I won't have much time to regroup.  I am scheduled to have a port-a-cath placed next Tuesday and will then start my first cycle of chemotherapy the following Wednesday.  

I'm nervous to say the least, I wasn't expecting to start my treatments so soon.  I know I'm more anxious about the unknown; specifically, what side effects, if any I will have to the chemotherapy.  I've accepted the fact that I will lose all my hair but there is a part of me that is scared to think of all the possibilities and the worst case scenario.  

As one of my surgeons put it: "it's like prison; the sooner you start your time, the sooner you get out."  So here's to getting out sooner than later!
