~Mighty Oak's 10th and FINAL A/C Treatment!!
Friday marks Ed's 10th and final A/C treatment. Although he does need a holiday from almost a year and a half of chemo it is really kind of scary! I am sure we will adjust to things, after all what is more scary than a year and a half of treatment...??
This is a major accomplishment and even with the rocky roads and bleak outlooks, he is still here. Between prayer, science and the Warrior he is, he has made it out of the woods. Cautious remission until more testing, this is the farthest he has come.
This is such an inspiration to not only me but the world. One small step for man, a giant for mankind (did I say that right?). The medical industry remains studies on this man in two areas: Inflammatory breast cancer & Male breast cancer. Hopefully these studies can eventually help others in this tough and sometimes bleak catagory of cancer.
So for all those looking for a flaming smile from me after the few weeks I have had, here it is. I have always believed but this cancer is sometimes bigger than us all. I only wish anyone with IBC whom is searching this site for HOPE stumbles along to this post.
Thanks to this site and its members we have learned so much about the journey of breast cancer. Thanks to your support, we have survived. Love to Y'all>>Believe51
