sharing good news
I just wanted to share my good news with everyone. I only have two more hercepting treatments left. My last one is August 9. My how this year has flown and for the first time in my life I am happy about time moving so quickly. Now I will have to adjust to the fact that I will no longer be taking anything to fight off a recurrence or metastasis, but my onc says that with my stats, I have a greater then 85% chance of no recurrence or metastasis. I of course can't help but think of so many of you who were also node negative and stage 1 who did recur or have a metastasis. All I can do is be diligent of my care, go to all appointments and be on top of things along with my doctors. The rest is in G-d's hands. For now I am just looking forward to completing yet another part of this entire treatment plan. Hip hip hooray. I also was told the port will come out after my last treatment. I will miss my little under the skin alien, kind of got use to him!!!!! NOT!!!!
