 LOOK FOR GUIDANCE

Today's affirmation says to look for guidance.  I've been so anxious all day, waiting by the phone to hear about finalizing my treatment plan.  I have prayed all day for someone to reach out to me and let me know something.  Finally, around 5PM, I received my guidance!  My oncologist called to talk to me.  I owe that phone call to the Lord because I have prayed so hard today for answers.  Originally my plan was to first have my mastectomy followed by chemotherapy.  However, since my tumor has doubled in size, he wants me to do chemotherapy first, followed by surgery second.  I will be undergoing five months of aggressive chemotherapy, beginning next week.  I'm extremely nervous, but at the same time ready to get this going.  I feel like there has been a lot of appointments I've had to go through in order to reach this point.  But I'm glad it is here.  It's go time!  I will be given two chemo drugs once per week for the first 12 weeks.  The remaining 8 weeks haven't been discussed with me yet.  I will need extra prayers during this difficult time, as I know chemotherapy is hard on the body.  Thank you so much to everyone for continuing to pray for me and show me such wonderful support!  It truly means the world to me.

CHEMOTHERAPY DAY 1 Today was my first day of chemo.  I've been so anxious about this appointment because I didn't know how my body would react to it.  Luckily they gave lots of pre-medications.  I was given a very strong anti-nausea medication through my port, as well as a steroid and a strong dose of Benadryl.  The Benadryl caused me to feel very sleepy.  This actually helped with my anxiety.  Today begins a 12 week treatment with two different chemo drugs, along with Keytruda.  I'll be on Keytruda every 3 weeks for the next year for my immunotherapy.  I will be coming for treatment oncer per week for the first 12 weeks.  After the 12 weeks, I will have an additional 8 weeks of chemotherapy.  The second half of my chemo treatment contains the Red Devil, also known as Doxorubicin.  I will likely begin losing my hair within the next few weeks of my current treatment.  I'm ok with that.  I'll do anything in order to beat thi...

 RESULTS DAY! Whew, has it been a long, excruciating weekend waiting for test results from my full body bone scan and CT.  I'm so happy to share the great news with everyone that my scans (according to the results in my chart) look clear of any metastatic disease!  My CT impression stated:  no findings to suggest metastatic disease in the chest, abdomen, or pelvis.  My bone scan stated:  Whole-body bone scan is negative for skeletal metastases.  This means my cancer is still contained to my left breast.  Praise the Lord!  God is so good!  I'm so grateful for this news today.

 MRI DAY Today I had my follow up MRI of my breasts.  I have completed five months of chemotherapy...FIVE MONTHS!  It hasn't been easy but I gave it all to God and pushed through.  I have one more round of chemotherapy set for this week and then I'll be finished with chemo!  My oncologist ordered the MRI so we can see what the chemo has done.  The table was of course uncomfortable but I knew it had to be done so I didn't move a muscle during the procedure.  They gave me some music to listen to this time so that helped.  I should get results in two to three days.  Please continue to keep me in your prayers and let's pray this chemo has done it's job and kicked cancer in the behind!
