Hi to everyone,
I’m Anita
I’m introducing myself as I begin treatment today. Taxotere and Cytoxin, four rounds. It feels good to be in the presence of you all- the ones that understand.
I had surgery in October. I made the decision to remove both breast’s. I’m triple negative and Stage I, ductal. Although everything was surgically removed with no metastasis to lymph nodes- they wanted to be safe by adding the chemotherapy treatment. I think the grade makes a difference?This is my second breast cancer diagnosis. Two completely different types in the same breast and 18 years later. I’m on top of my mammograms and feel grateful to catch it early. A lot has changed in 18 years regarding treatment and care. I’m learning more each day.
Thank you for letting me share and I will do my best to keep up with you. Sending prayers to all of you for comfort.
Anita 💕
