 CHEMOTHERAPY WEEK 6

Today was my sixth treatment!  This entry will be short and sweet because everything went so good.  My port access didn't give us any trouble and my medications didn't cause any reactions.  It was a good day!  We were there for around five hours.  We're home now and gonna take a nap.  I also received the cutest wig from the Brown Cancer Resource 
Center.  It's adorable and I love it!

 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!

 AC Treatment #2 I had my second AC treatment on Thursday.  The biggest hiccup this time was accessing my port.  The nurses couldn't get it to flush properly.  They tried a second time to access the port.  They ended up putting a clot busting medication into my port and leaving it there for thirty min to see if that was the problem.  It flushed after that, but still not well.  They decided to access my port for a THIRD time.  This time they used a larger needle and it worked perfectly!  The infusion went well.  It was also a keytruda day for me so we were there a little longer. So far I've been handling these rounds of treatment fairly well.  The biggest thing I've dealt with is fatigue and weakness.  Please keep praying for me as I continue on this journey.

  Nov 8, 2024 Today was my routine mammogram and lung CT.  I was more nervous about the lung results than the mammogram.  I never expected anything to be wrong with my mammogram.  Everything went as planned and I left the office more worried about the follow up results from my lung nodules we’ve been following for the past three years.  I went about my day with few concerns.   Nov 12, 2024 Today I received news per mychart as well as a phone call from my doctor that my lung CT looked good and my nodules were stable!  Hooray!  That was the biggest relief.  I then decided to check mychart for my mammogram results, thinking everything would be normal.  I read the words “spiculated mass” in my left breast and was immediately concerned, as I googled spiculated and found out it isn’t a good shape to have on a mass. Then came the phone call.  I knew they were going to tell me about the mass.  They said I would need to have a foll...
