WoooHOO for the clean PET scans, bunches!!
Your story sounds just like mine.
I have a similar cancer, fast and aggressive, positive estrogen, etc. and I can look forward to the Trifecta of breast cancer- chemo, surgery and radiation.
We’re doing chemo 1st cuz the bastard’s so big now. I call it “The Tick”.
; )
Yes, the ACS is the bombdotcom! I’ve gotten so much help thru them and advice.
I’m day 8 into my first chemo treatment today. Today was a good day. Yesterday? Eh, not so much. Tomorrow I might be crap or I might be wonderful. I’m learning that you must take it day by day.
Haha on naming it. After my biopsy came back positive and I went to see my regular doc she said what do you want to do? I said I want it out cause I picture a bunch of little black nanobot things running around in there and eating all the good cells. She laughed and told me I watch too much SciFi.
Hey Jill!
Bless you, I will keep you in my prayers.
You are going to get through this and your attitude is great! What I had to learn is that we are in charge of our own recovery to a certain extent by how we react to the cancer and all the treatment that happens afterward.
I chose to give the tumor an irreverent nickname, too (I called it “Black Bart”). The tumor was huge, 5 cm. and the sight of it on the mammogram scared the bejesus out of the x-ray lady -she told my doctor that it looked “scary”)
If you ever need to talk some more, private reply to this and I will give you my personal email.
