 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!

  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...

  CHEMOTHERAPY WEEK 7     Finally!  It's been a long couple of weeks waiting for this treatment.  I had to miss two Thursdays of my chemo treatment due to my white blood cell count being too low.  They told me I had to just allow my body to build them up.  I tried to get as much rest as possible and eat lots of protein and berries.  I went in there yesterday with my fingers crossed that I would receive good lab results.  With lots of prayer, I did!  I was able to receive my treatment yesterday!  However, my oncologist made a change with my chemo medications; he withheld one of them and will likely withhold it for the remaining five treatments.  Does this scare me?  Yes!  My mind races and wonders if one chemo drug will be enough to fight this aggressive monster inside me.  The thing that keeps me uplifted is knowing that after these last five treatments, I'll be beginning a new set of chemo medications that are m...
