Last of the A/C chemo to start herceptin/taxol





I received my last of the first chemo...gone (forever) once in a lifetime of this hard A/C chemo yesterday and it went as well as it could. I will be resting and I am anemic energy wise for a couple more weeks. Next step: I go into another type of chemo Taxol/Herceptin which goes right to the HER2 positive and Estrogen + (only about 20% have both of these things +) herceptin was designed to attack the cells of my particular strain of cancer. So far the tumor itself seems to have shrank some, the determination was at this point a single mastectomy, surgery with ovaries removed and then radiation, then reconstructive surgery later on. Nancy my oncologist feels this is the best course of action to focus on getting that cancer all out. My BRAC test still hasn't been confirmed, however MRI showed no sign on left breast.

My business has been sustaining, everyone supportive and I couldn't be happier on that front. New clients have enlisted me and so far have been very happy.

Lily turned 5 on Sat. and had a great group of friends, memorable experience.

Here are the lyrics.

I had my MRI today
a biopsy too
now I'm insane
don't know what to do
anger and worry
confusion and fear
I think I will medicate myself
with another beer...

Hey lumpy lump
who are you?
and where did you come from
what did you do?
are you an invader
or a part of me
hey lumpy lump
get the hell outta me

all I know is that
you're inside of me
and the first inspectors
lied to me
"the coast is clear
you're good to go"
well your ultrasound and
mammograms blow

hell cells be gone
get out of my body
hell cells be gone
please go away
what's the point in being polite
when I'm the one who has to fight
hells cells get the hell outta me!
