I was so hoping that I would not have to travel this part of the cancer journey but looks like I will. Dr. Davis said at this point I have about a 20% chance the cancer will come back but with the chemotherapy and hormonal therapy I will decrease those odds by more than 10%. I will begin treatment the last week in April. I will have 4 cycles of adriamycin and cytoxan every 3 weeks. He did order the oncotype on the right breast. After he sees the results of it he will decide if I need another treatment of taxol which will be administered every week for 12 weeks. At this point I am not having a port inserted per the doctor's decision. If I do the every week regimen I will need one at that time.
So I guess next week I get to decide if I want to look like Dolly Parton with big boobs and a wig:)
I know I will get through this part with God's hands directing the doctors and nurses and giving me strength.
I am going to the movies this afternoon and going to enjoy this weekend with my loving husband. Our 40th anniversary is this weekend and we will be doing a trip to the ocean when this part of the journey is finished.
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
