Well I did have 3 lymph nodes that still has microscopic cancer in them, I had a total of 14 lymph nodes removed so I could have had more lymph nodes that had cancer in them and the chemo may have killed them but cancer cells could still be there and start re-growing again so we do not want that at all, and because of my age and the aggressiveness of the cancer, I want to be around cancer-free for a very, very,very,very (did I say very) loooooonnnnnnnnngggggggg time!!
I start this fun ride on 03/01/11 Monday-Friday for 6 weeks. Will take about 30min the first time then 15-20 after that I will do this before work. Seeing the Dr. once a week to discuss progress ect..
I am feeling much better, my friend Pami who is the best massage therapist EVER has been doing massage for me to help with my range of motion and WOW it has helped alot. So, if you live around me email me and I will be glad to give out her info. I wake up in very little pain, the tightness is going away..I still will have to do my excersises on my own but this will help a ton!!
The way I look at this is only a few minutes everyday that will save my life, my schedule will have to be adjusted some but it will be ok..One day at a time, like Sandra Bullock said in the movie "28 Days" " What like 2 or 3 days is an option"??? Like the Dr. says the worst is over..
It will be Radation Mon-Fri from 03/01/11 till 04/12/11 (that is what I get when I count it) and Herceptin every 3 weeks till Sept. 24th 2011 so I just had one on the 18th of Feb. so I should have about 8 rounds of that. This is all do able I just do not want to do it..I am kinda used to this living thing and learning to love it..Plus, what could bring you all more joy then reading my blog?? Ok maybe a root canal ;)
((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))
Stay tuned for the next blog "How being bullied helped me get through cancer"
