Today I got to see my favorite oncologist, Dr. Bursha Ajaz. We discussed the surgery findings and she explained basically want Dr. Mamounas did last week. There is (NED)no evidence of disease. We can not say I am cancer free until I stay NED for 5 years. The pathology report stated that my triple negative BC had shown signs of metaplastic disease. So there was a mutation of cells that became metaplastic. Both cancers are very aggressive. I asked for percentages of reoccurrence and survival but she said she wouldn’t go there! To say a percentage would not determine anything. We need to focus on the next steps. So I will start radiation as soon as the drains are out and I am healed. According to Dr. Ajaz, radiation is her insurance that all the cancer is gone.
I am staying positive and focused! There is still so many steps to fighting this battle but I know that I will continue to beat it. I have such great support from family, friends and colleagues.
On the more positive side of things, eyebrows and eyelashes are growing back! Whoop Whoop!
I got this! I am blessed!
