did some retail therapy this afternoon at Walmart to purchase some more short sleeved, button down shirts. they had more that I liked than 3 weeks ago. hmmm.
3:10pm met Dr. Shek. met with him for 2 hours with Daniel and my Dad. He told me that I had level 3/3 of agressive breast cancer but at stage 2 cancer. yes we caught it early but there were 3 lumps in the breast and it spread to 1/15 lymp nodes. he wants to start chemo (TCH) https://www.navigatingcancer.com/chemotherapy_treatments/tch-docetaxel-carboplatin-trastuzumab-breast
1 year then look at radiation after if needed. he wants to start right away like on 5/24. i have an appointment with the surgeon on 5/16, day after my 42nd b-day, to see how well i'm healing and give me some PT exercises. if he feels i'm healed at 100% then he'll give the go ahead for 5/24 chemo port instead of IV since i'm a bad stick with IV's. big possibility that the chemo will effect fertility. i'm going to be 42 and we don't have children at this time anyways. might freeze some eggs, might adopt a child or a dog:)... focus on me and me alone. i'm eager to live a long and healthier life.
