Afternoon All!
Had appointment with surgeon this afternoon regarding pathology results of last surgery on 5/2...He took out 16mm more tissue and lucky he did as 4mm of it still had cancer cells in it! So now that means my margins are CLEAR! *insert big sigh of relief from me and hubby here*. So no more surgery for now! I only just realised it's only been 10 days since my last surgery..It seems like months ago! .I seriously need to learn not to expect so much from myself...
So, what next?? Well that means I can move onto the next phase of treatment....CHEMO! I am very anxious about this stage, and that's normal I expect, but I also know it's absolutely essential to make sure this bitch hasn't sent any of her henchmen to other parts of my body!
Sooo, My first round of chemo is TOMORROW (Tuesday 16/2)!!! at 9am....I will have one dose every 3 weeks for 6 rounds. (FEC-D) so that's three of a drug called FEC (fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) and then 3 of one called D (Docetaxel).
I am hoping to get through this next phase without too many side effects. But like hubby said I'm already winning!
TUMOUR GONE + NODES GONE + CLEAR SCANS + CLEAR MARGINS!!
So tomorrow is a big day and I'll be going in with daggers drawn, remember this ...
my dark shadowed friend,
You will NOT beat me,
I WILL fight you,
So prepare for battle,
For to the depths of Hell, It is YOU...I WILL send...
