Love the cat scan

Or was it a pet scan?

Here's the info on my wife. She had some bad experiences with forums so she avoids the internet whenever possible.

My wife, (now age 68) back in Dec of 2012 was diagnosed with Stage 4 ER+ breast cancer. One node and a small spot on the spine. After 3 infusions of AC she was clean except for the 6 cm tumor in her breast. The oncologist said since the cancer was responding well to estrogen blocker (aromasin) it was best to leave it be.

A little over a year later, Nov 2014 the cancer morphed and went crazy. She had a radical mastectomy and breast removal. A biopsy showed it to be ER+ and the oncologist prescribed tamoxifen. 19 lymph nodes were removed and 9 of the 19 had triple negative Metaplastic keratinized squamous carcinoma. A PET scan done after the surgery showed some cancer still in her armpit, probably spill over from the nodes. She's back on A-C again, no Taxol as she almost died from it earlier. One good point, she had intense pain in her rt armpit for about 10 minutes; maybe it was from the cancer being killed.

She has two cancers, one ER+ PR+ HER2- and another triple negative.

Below are some pictures of my art. As you can see by the borders I used to do ornate borders for a few greeting card companies. Somebody else would add the prayer, etc in calligraphy. Because of my wife's struggle with cancer I've returned to art, as it relaxes me. I can't sell any as I'm a combat wounded vet and get disability from the VA.

The only problem I have with this thread is whether to rush over here every morning or to save them up for a long wonderful laugh.
