Preparing & Praying!!
Hello Everyone...I'm VERY new and have been reading your posts/comments, etc...
I've had quite a ride the last several months...from finding a lump on right breast, biopsy...DCIS to lumpectomy, no clear margins, another reexcison, same report, then a mastectomy...decided to go with reconstruction, then at followup, found out my incision was infected, that I needed to have it repaired with the expander removed immediately.
Same time, also had pathology report with my final diagnosis:
Stage 2a breas cancer , 1 of 5 lymph nodes positive, (removed), found a 2.7cm tumor in the upper outer quadrant, (removed)...
The tumor was NOT detected until I had my mastectomy.
Tomorrow, I am to have my port placed, Thurs, Mar 20, meet my Medical Oncologist for my treatment plan...the PRAYFULLY I will get started with my journey and get this going to have a TESTIMONY LORD WILLING!!
The unknown has been sooooo stressful...as I wait...I am told by my BS that my treatment will be TCH for 8 weeks, followed with Herceptin for a year. We will see if that is the same plan with my medical oncologist.
I am ER/PR negative...HER2+ (+++)
I get all my medical treatment through the VA, thus I am VERY blessed...however, there are pro's and cons.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR READING MY STORY!!
ANY FEEDBACK IS MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
