Since I have had good news, I won't get too upset at the doctor for making me wait over a week for the 'call'. It certainly has been a difficult time.
So, what she said is that there were no new findings from the CT scan in regards to the cancer spreading anywhere. Not in the brain, the liver or lungs. She said if I wanted to have a biopsy, that would confirm that the mass on the rib was from the breast cancer, instead of it being from the endometrial cancer or maybe a new cancer. But, since it isn't really necessary, we both decided that I could just go on the drug letrozole instead. Along with this drug I will also be put on a 'bone builder' that will keep my bones from being destroyed. I will go and get these drugs from the hospital on Monday. :-)
I am very glad all this waiting for phone calls is over with, now. I just knew that March would be a much better month than January or February!! It had to...it couldn't get worse than what I have just experienced!
Maybe now I can get on with regular day to day life and just work on myself, physically, mentally, artistically and spiritually. These things I will be talking about in the blog entries to come.
Donna, that is good news! You've been in my thoughts darling, and I'm so glad to hear something positive. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Anna! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna. This is such wonderful news. I am so happy for you and can't begin to imagine how deep and strong your sigh must have been as you wrote this. Getting back to 'regular life' will be a huge treat for you, and as for working on the Fab Four (physical, mental, artistic & spiritual) - go, go, go!
ReplyDeletePaper mache your heart out!
With a big hug and lots of thumbs way up (okay, just 2 since that's all I have) ...
Ann
thank you, Ann! yup, gotta get going on that paper mache, for sure. Trying to catch up on a few things first, though. ;)
DeleteOh Yeah Donna! Such Great News! Maybe it was all your friends and family sending a constant stream of positive thoughts your way, or maybe that "who ever" controls our destinies finally realized that Donna has had quite enough life challenges for this lifetime. Either way, I'm so very happy for you. And here's to 2012 being your best year ever! Love you always, your friend, Janice
ReplyDeletethank you Janice! I know I had a lot of people rooting for me, and I know it all helps! xoxo
