Test Results

I had an appointment today with my entire cancer team to go over the results of the PET scan and an additional biopsy that I had done last week. The PET scan showed NO additional areas of concern and the biopsy was benign. So, at least that's some good news! Everything looks good for starting treatment next week. Again, thanks for all the awesome support!

A Quick Update

I just wanted give you all a quick update at where things stand for me right now. This past Monday, I had a PET scan to see if my cancer has spread to any other areas of my body. Yesterday, I had a mediport implanted so that I am ready to start chemo as soon as the doctors are ready. I'll be meeting with my cancer team on Monday, so I should have a better idea of things to come then. I'm ready to get the ball rolling! 

As for how I'm feeling, I feel pretty good! I realize that the journey I am about embark on is not going to be an easy one, I have faith that everything will be fine in the end. I refuse to live my life consumed with worry, doubt, and fear. Living in fear, is not really living if you ask me! 

Thanks for all of your prayers and encouragement!  :)

My Diagnosis

Today, the day finally came for me to face my diagnosis. The results are positive, I do in fact have breast cancer. Honestly, it was not really a surprise to me, I just had a feeling. I'm relieved to finally have an answer and I am ready to move forward with treatment. Your prayers and support have made things so much easier for me and I am forever grateful to have such good friends. Thank you!
