Cloudy Day

Today has been a cloudy spring day.  For those of you not in Missouri it is a very warm humid day and thunderstorms are predicted for tonight.  All of this has just set the stage for the news I heard today.

The nurse navigator called after she talked with my oncologist.  He says there is no need to do the ocnotype test because I will have to have chemotherapy regardless.  I was so hoping to avoid this but I am learning that this journey still has all sorts of twists and turns.  As I said yesterday one of the three cancers was an invasive aggressive tumor.   In case a cancer cell is floating out in my body the chemo treatment is to attack it.  I will not know the exact protocol until April 19th but it will be a 3 to 6 month plan.

I am just trying to recover from the surgery and these dang drains!  Once I can get my feet back on the ground from this I will be ready to deal with this next part.  I just keep telling Rick he had better be ready for some great vacation travel next winter:)

Just received a text message from a friend that says alcohol may improve breast cancer survival.

Cheers!
