Dan and I went to Sloan today to meet with the surgeon and the oncologist. What a great day. Both doctors said that by looking at the MRI with contrast they did a couple of weeks ago, it appears that the chemo killed all the cancer in my breast including the lymph node!! Of course nothing is 100% and we will not know for sure until the pathology report comes back from the surgery.Who could ask for anything more?!! I am going for surgery on Wednesday, March 18th instead of the 20th. No need to panic, it got moved up because of the doctors scheduling. I will still need radiation but we are not sure when that will take place. The doctors are leaning toward starting radiation after I am expanded from the first surgery. I also got up the courage to ask what stage my cancer was. Believe it or not, I never asked the doctors that, I was just going off what I read on an initial report. Anyway, I am stage two bordering on stage 3 due to the size and lymph nodes..Not that it really matters anyway..
I am feeling GREAT!! At this point, I am ready to tackle this next phase... As I refer to it, it is time for the clean up crew to go in and then build the new me!! Bring it on!!
Keep the prayers coming as the BIG GUY upstairs is definitely listening!!
