Pathology

[witchy1969woman]

Cancer spread to nodes, left breast had early signs of breast cancer. Chemo and either radiation or surgeet to remove all the nodes. Monday is when we'll know more. Spirits are high, fighting gloves are on.

Wishing you the very best. I have finished four rounds of EC chemo and am now on 2nd (of 12) rounds of Paclitaxol. Not doing too badly. It is tougher on my emotional well-being than my physical, so keep strong and good luck ❤️

I’m sorry about your pathology results. I remember when I received my pathology report (minus the onco report) and my surgeon said that she didn’t think I would need chemo. I was so happy but my happiness was short lived. Onco score came back too high so chemo was recommended. I was not happy but understood why it was being recommended. Like everything else that’s thrown at us, you will find a way to find your inner strength and face both chemo and radiation or surgery. You will get through this. I’ve finished 2 rounds of chemo and the side effects are minimal, I'm still working, still taking care of my daughter so if I can do it you or anyone reading this can do this👍🏼

You’ve got a great attitude don’t let any of these treatments take that from you🙂

I am very happy that you are doing so well. I know you wish all of us well, but please don't say that if you can do it anyone can do it - each one of us brings different things to the table and you have no idea what others are going through. The chemo they are on, or any pre-existing factors can make a world of difference. My second round of breast cancer knocked the wind out of my sails. It was my 4th cancer, and my body gave out. I did hear that, and it just made getting through more difficult. People meant to encourage me, but in reality it just made me more emotionally fragile and I felt like a failure.

You are absolutely correct, I never looked at it that way. I apologize, I meant no disrespect to anyone.

Sorry that the cancer spread to the nodes, I had node involvement as well. Sending you positive vibes that you won't need to have surgery to remove them. Fortunately, studies have shown that lymph node removal is not always required.

So sorry to hear that it spread. Very glad you are in good spirits and ready to fight this! Praying that Monday brings some good news. Please keep us updated!!
