Who me ?
"Come back for another scan, there's a grey area"
That was just over 4 weeks ago, and I thought "who, me ?" I was so sure it was just a bruise from when I had fallen some weeks before, and then the...
Oncologist wants to throw everything she has at me because of the HER2 positive.

Startng chemo next Tuesday plus Herceptin, radiation after the 6 weeks of chemo, with Herceptin for the year then endocrine therapy at some point (We'll discuss that later when this lot has sunk in ! she said)
I've had a good cry. I know that in the scheme of things I'm still a lucky bunny with a tiny tumour that for the moment has all been removed - but today I am once again very VERY frightened of the possibilities. I want to know and understand why this has happened, and I know that question has no answer. And the next one - will it happen again and will it kill me ? has no answer either. I know you all ask those too, I know some of you have a big YES for the last one and my heart is breaking for you. We humans can get to the moon, we have sent a craft out into deep space - but we can't find a cure for a disease that is KILLING US !!!!!
Not looking forward to losing my hair btw, it' s been looking really good lately, shit. Does it take long to grow back ? I really hope that the chemo doesn't give me headaches - I have just got on top of my migraines for the first time in years. Wouldn't that be ironic.
Sorry folks, self pitying rant over. I will put my positive hat back on.I might need a hat actually, not sure how I will look in a wig :P
I'm hanging in girls, thanks for the love.
