I'm Back!

I had to replace my email address and my phone and lost all access including this site about a year ago!

My update: I was on oral chemotherapy with several different medications, slowly reducing down the strength of them because if my reactions - heart & breathing issues. But my cancer kept disappearing and each PET Scan was better than the last. I went with 3 months of no medications and the last two tiny areas at the site on my chest where this all began still lite up on the PET scan. So my Oncologist suggested radiation treatment. I had 30 treatments and last PET Scan showed one are still lighting up, but praying the cancer cells were damaged enough that this last area will die off. I've had complications with my lymphedema and now have broken out with shingles! All from a reaction to radiation therapy. So fighting off the shingles and I will going back to a lymphedema therapist once I'm healed. Prayers for everyone!
