Hi Celeste,
What a journey you have had, but in that journey you have become STRONG.
Just rereading your earlier posts demonstrates this. You are now talking of quite detailed investigations as if you are an old hand!
Great that your surgeon is working with you and for you and spent the time to explain things, certainly builds confidence.
Regarding your question regarding your cancer changing type, my cancer did change its status after my latest biopsy. I started as E+ P+ and HER2-, now I am E- P- and HER2-. Thought this meant I was Triple Negative, but not so, you stay with the initial diagnosis but collect the term "hormone refractory" which means that targeted homone therapies no longer work for me. My options are now other IV chemothapies or oral chemotherapies such as Xeloda. I'm on this at the moment and it is working for me.
With love,
Joy
