Praise Report


Cancer Praise Report!

I had a PETSCAN done and the results are in! There were concerns of the cancer spreading to my liver and right ovary. However, I am happy to announce the scan showed NO CANCER HAD SPREAD! 

PETSCAN measures cancer by a term called SUV. Standardized uptake value. A normal range of SUV is 0.45-2.0 .. Maybe 2.5 depending on the organ. My left breast is the one with the mass in it and that resulted at 20.7 SUV and 20 SUV in a lymph node on that same side. The non cancer breast also showed a response at 3.3 SUV. My oncologist believes this could be because my port was put in a few days prior. I will get a breast MRI to follow and measure.

By the way, here is a picture of what the PETSCAN machine was in! How crazy is this?

The C word.

  The C word.  For the past few weeks I have been living this outer body experience. To be quite honest, it is a lot to process. I find myself zoning out while people are talking to me. I have moments where I stare off into space and see a highlight reel of my life play before me while I am simultaneously performing my normal multitasking duties in this robotic fashion. So many have asked me how I got here so fast. Let me walk you through it... a lot of this may be shocking and truthfully I'm not sure where to even begin but let's give it a go... You may or may not be aware that I moved out of my home March 3. Out of respect for the last 14 years of my life I won't say much about that. Although it plays a significant part in my story, it is not why I write to you today. I quite literally woke up one morning with a massive lump in my left breast. With my youngest going back and forth to his dad's house I decided it was time to wean him from breastfeeding. I assumed the m...

Waiting to Being

 Waiting. I feel like so much of this journey has been waiting. Waiting for follow up appointments, waiting on tests, waiting on test results, waiting for more appointments, more test results, waiting on phone calls from doctors, waiting to start treatment, waiting for the side effects to kick in, waiting for my hair to fall out, waiting for the vomiting to start, waiting for the next round... are you tired of reading that word yet?Waiting. Not so patiently. I'd be lying if I said it didn't get the best of me some days. I compare it to the feeling you get when a roller coaster is about to reach its peak.. you know, right before the fall. Except you just stall right there at that moment. Frozen. Or being stuck in an elevator with a broken button and there's no way out. Anxiety creeps in and every second feels like an eternity. Sometimes I look at my medication and read the word "chemotherapy" and simply just can't believe this is something I am dealing with. Th...

POWER PORT

 "October 3 he asked me what day it was." Its October 3rd.   If you don't know that is a mean girls reference which just happens to be the day I got my port surgery. I had no idea they would be going through my neck for this! I have attached a link for you to see how it is done. My diagnosis requires long term treatment (more on that later) so I opted in to get the port to potentially save my veins.  https://youtu.be/6QFwZAIPBq8?si=XCYlIxOl0w5wvh-a If the link doesn't work go on YouTube and search, "chest port placement."
