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!
