Biopsy Results are in!

So yesterday I went for my weekly chemo and got the results from my biopsy. The lymph node does have cancer. While the Dr. told me I stayed strong and said it was ok. I looked at Juan and also said it was ok. The Dr. offered some alternatives. Possible trail at MDA, Orlando Health or Moffitt. She mentioned adding Carbo to my Taxol treatment. The goal was to go into surgery cancer free. That might be a little harder now. If I don’t do any trails the plan is to do another ultra sound in four weeks and confirm no progression.

Although I had moments of sadness yesterday and despair I kept my head up! I was reminded yesterday that you can keep your head up in prayer and gratitude but tears can come down your face at the same time!

I am grateful that they found it now and can treat it with something else. God willing it will work and I can go into surgery cancer free. If not that’s ok too because I will come out cancer free.

I have such a great support team from my family, friends, colleagues and The Redtail ladies. You name it I am blessed. As they say it takes a village to raise a child and it takes a village to fight cancer. I thank everyone whom has showed me support and kindness through this process.
