Re: Starting Chemo May and June 2024 Support Thread
Got a note in my online portal about my PET scan saying that it doesn't show any metastases. I'm so relieved. I know it's not guarantee of the future, but makes me more comfortable for now. I'm sure every human on the planet will have lots of findings in a PET scan, so I have a lot of questions - but they don't seem to related to cancer.
Feeling pretty good today, but still tired. Next treatment is tomorrow. But I'm going to enjoy today - my son (my youngest) is graduating from high school tonight!
Re: IDC and Mental Health
Good afternoon,
I had my post op appt and everything went well. Lymph nodes were clear and my surgeon said I'm cancer free! My next step will be is to see a Medical Oncologist and then a Radiation Oncologist. The Med Onco will go over my treatment options and then I should start radiation, I believe. I do go back in November for another mammogram and then see the surgeon again in December. So far so good! I'm feeling better about the whole thing. I will do my research on the possible treatment options so I will be well informed.
I will keep everyone posted as my appointments are completed.
My mantra, "Stand tall, be strong, and radiate a positive glow! Cancer will NOT rule my life!"
