So as I finished with my Chemotherapy....Wohooo....I continue to learn more and more about my pathology report, my body chemistry & options for treating my cancer to prevent it from coming back. I have met with more new Doctors and have found that because I am Estrogen Positive my ovaries must come out, otherwise my cancer will come back. I also have decided, through much prayer, to have a Bi-Lateral Mastectomy to prevent cancer from returning in either breast. I know it's not 100% however chances are in my favor of 80%-90% that it won't return. I could have cancer in the muscles of my chest are and maybe in some tissue, but that is a slim chance.
So moving forward I will have my ovaries removed in February and Breast Surgery with reconstruction in March. I should be done with all my surgeries in June! I now have 3 Oncologists and a Plastic Surgeon, the good news is I won't need radiation now that I will have the Mastectomy, one less procedure to have done.
I have some great doctors who are really listening to me and teach me more about cancer and my body. I am so grateful for the doctors and nurses I have!!
