Ah, Hubby didn't post the outcome of the surgery, sorry those of you on the edge of your seats. The sentinel nodes (4 of them) were clear of cancer, therefore, there was no invasive cancer, it was localized to the left breast only, and the surgery cured me of cancer.
I will, however, be taking Tamoxifen for up to 5 years to help protect my remaining breast. I see the oncologist next week and will probably start the Tamoxifen then. I also need to shop at Puritan's Pride for a multivitamin without soy, and possibly a green food for energy. I will also be adding my Calcium and Vitamin D back in this weekend.
About Me
- Alia
- I have the invisible disabilities of Major Depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I also have visible disabilities: severe osteoarthritis in my knees, muscle spasms degenerative disc disease, and peripheral neuropathy. The doc says the PN is mechanical. I have diabetes and PCOS. In April 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I use a power wheelchair for anything outside the house. Sometimes I use a cane. This blog is for my crochet adventures, my gimp adventures, and surviving medical intervention. If you are not disabled, but know someone who is, and don't understand why they are limited in what they can do, I highly recommend that you go to http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/ and click on "The Spoon Theory." I am Wiccan and Witch, head of a Wiccan church here in Denver. My wand is a Size S (3/4" diameter) crochet hook. I have a tendency to speak my Truth. This has made me enemies as well as friends. The anger and dislike of my "enemies" does not impact me; I care not what they think. What matters to me is what I think, my family thinks, and what my friends and those I respect think.
