Chemo #3



We're a third of the way there and this time there was excellent news. My Medical Oncologist palpated my breast and said she was unable to find a definitive mass to measure and that the tumor was now a "thickening".  She confirmed my hopes. I can still fell a thick like mass in there but it's squishier now and difficult to make a judgement because I am obsessively touching my breasts several times a day trying to see if there is a change. I was desperate for my Oncologist's back up and I got it.


The happiness I felt as this news washed over me in the way too hot examination room (These rooms are usually freezing) like a hot flash of joy. This news is so good for my prognosis. Response to chemo with triple negative is huge and though I still have a long way to go, this is a huge plus.

I want to thank each and everyone of you who sent me good vibes, kind words, committed to shrinking visualizations, prayers and all that. I truly believe that collective positive thinking no matter what the givers beliefs makes an enormess difference. It's all about intent. Thank you for that.



After the visit with my ocologist and reassuraces. We hopped down to the chemo center. Where we were told to except an hour to 2 hour wait, minimum. They still haven't managed to organize the waits time for chemo. We were lucky, we waited just over an hour.

I had a room with view
More deadly chemo drugs

We made it back in time to take the Tulip to her ice skating lesson which is a 4 generation event. I need to get some pics of all of there. Much thanks to my Grandmother of discovering this least to skate program as the Jamestown Savings Band Ice Arena. Tulip is loving it.
