Met my MD's .. have a plan....

Anonymous

Hello everyone...
I'm just starting out ... I'm stage 2a 1.7 tumor w/ one node known to be involved...others from the MRI and US looked good .. Its Grade High/3 which means its aggressive but the MD's feel like I'm still in the early stage of my bc .
I'm also Triple Positive.
At first I was falling apart but since I talked to Surgeon and Cancer MD I feel better.. You know our mind go to the dark places when you don't know what's going on ...
The Doctor said that my prognoses is good and its treatable.... I have a shot of being cancer free...
Its not going to easy...and its not going to come without complications.. She said "don't be overly optimistic but don't be overly pessimistic either". It is what it is... and we're going fight it together...

First is
6 rounds of chemo given every 3 weeks... to see if we can shrink the tumor or even get rid of it, if all goes well then I take 4 weeks off... then surgery .....maybe radiation maybe not we'll its all up I guess the lymph nodes
then back to chemo for the hormone drugs add...for a total of 1 year in chemo... then I will have to take the pill form up to 10 years ..

Like I said in the beginning ..... I finally have hope....I didn't have that before yesterday ... as my NP would say its going to be a long haul but you can do this...
Every little victory .... even being handed a little hope ....

just wanted to share
