It was either 6 weeks of radiation or mastectomy & instead of spending 6 weeks of frying & dealing with a ton of painful side effects from radiation & then spending another 10 weeks healing, I decided one day of surgery & then immediately starting healing was preferable to the first. It will be a relief to have it over, however I have qhat's called HER2+ which is a protein that makes my type of cancer aggressive. If it returns and/or spreads, it's usually to the brain, liver or bones. However they've made alot of gains in suppressing the HER2 with a few different meds, but most commonly is Herceptin which id administered via infusion, & that I'll receive every 3 weeks for about a year. I am really hoping that that'll be it tho.

Being one with cancer, I have seen just how much caregivers do & omg! I really don't think we could get thru it w/o you! Mine is actually my roommate & some state ordered nursing staff. My immediate family aren't reliable for anything really. That's fine tho. I tremendously appreciate those that are hear & helping. It just amazes me & I'm forever grateful! So from all of us THANK YOU & GODDESS BLESS YOU!
