Still on the Journey

Well its a while since I posted, last November when I was diagnosed with HER 2 positive BC I was surprised to find out how many different Breast cancers exist. I suppose I have just followed what the doctors have suggested, but have always felt that it was my choice in what treatment I undertake. Because the cancer was already in the lymph system I started with Chemo, Hercepton and Perjeta. 6 rounds of chemo and I made it through, though I still have the other drugs till December. Waiting for surgery, deciding what to do was the toughest call. My female surgeon gave me the choice, take the front off the boob and all the lymph glands under the arm, wait for the results and see if I need more surgery. Its been 9 annoying days, but tomorrow is D Day, of course I could have just opted to have the breast off, but I wanted the choice. It's strange that the breast is not really sore but the drain under the arm is very annoying, I keep forgetting it and it gets stuck on the furniture lol.
So whatever happens tomorrow, it's just a part of God's journey, and this is a hiccup on the way.

  • All the best with the next step @bakerr. Thoughts and prayers with you today.
  • @bakerr good luck. The drains are gross. Id hung one on the taps when I was having a shower then forgot about it and just (tried) to walk away. Squealing, gagging and tethered to the tiles. Yuk. Let's hope the news is good and you are on the road to recovery. Mxx
