Some of you know and others don't. I have once again have cancer. So how do I feel? Well I look okay, except I need a hair cut. I feel like shit. I don't believe that is a bad thing I mean when is cancer good?
But for having cancer I know that there is a lot worse cases out there. I am lucky to have found in the very early stages. I can not feel it this is good news because as I have learned the bigger the lump the not so easy to treat but, does not mean they can not treat it just harder. So what other news can I give you well its only 7cm this good for cancer because I can not feel it. And they are going to surgery. They will do lumpectomy. This where they take out the lump and normal tissue around the lump so there less or no chance of the cancer growing back. They will also take two of the lumph nodes out at this time and check them to see if they have cancer growth with in them. If they do they will remove two more. I will have to radiation treatment and this will be the hardest part of the treatment becasuse I will have to spend 5 weeks in Calgary to have this done and only coming home on the weekends. This unlike kemo. I will be glad when the whole thing is over and done with. The hardest thing about having cancer to much information. Give me what I need to know for now and I will find the answers as I need them. I should be done all my treatment if every thing goes as planed by the first week of Dec. I letting you know the facts as I know them. I like to keep all my friends and family posted on the treatment so you all know how I am doing. Allan is doing great he is my true rock. I will keep you posted as I have said and you can read and be touch with me. I will not know my next surgery date until the 19th of this month. I would love to say thank to Dr Coma who said most women have there first mammogram at the age of 50 I had mine at 48 and I sure it will save my life. Do check your breast regulary and remeber that a mammogram hurts way less then hearing you have cancer. Thanks Jenny
