So that has put me on an emotional rollercoaster up and down it all goes with the territory feeling like the body has betrayed me but now that we have a plan it has help a lot. Yes, still worried and at times still having some down feelings. I think this is all normal to feel this way I am just trying to not let it become the be all and end all.
The Plan:
After 3 different biopsy one for each breast and one lymph node then several test to be done the plan is to start out with Chemo on the 11th of this month. This will be every other week process for 4 sessions and then another type of Chemo for 12 weeks having sessions once a week. This is to shrink the cancer cells and hopefully move it out of the lymph node as one node showed up with some cancer cells. The left breast shows a 6-inch area that has cancerous cells and one lymph node on the left side. The biopsy on the right side is not showing any cancer cells at this time but it is possible to happen down the road so the plan as of now after chemo a bilateral mastectomy.
Surgery will happen and hopefully the test come out so that radiation doesn't have to happen after the surgery, but we will see what happens and how the test come out. That is a bridge that will be crossed when I get there.
I am hoping that the Chemo will not be awful in side effects a few is fine and tolerable and expected. I just hope that it doesn't make me so sick that I end up dehydrated and feeling even worse. I guess time will tell.
Praying for you Arlene!
