I am sitting here having chemo. I am feeling so incredibly blessed sitting here among other cancer patients. As I am often telling the kids, you never know about a person when you have never walked in their shoes. Don't judge!
John and I had the big 4 or 6 discussion with Dr. W today. He has agreed with us that we can go for 6!!!!!! I keep laughing how pathetically happy I am with this decision but I honestly don't think I could ever forgive myself if God forbid, the cancer returns and I had only completed 4 rounds. There is just too high of a risk for triple negative cancer to return. Please pray for smooth sailing and uncomplicated rounds!
Last Saturday, we also had The Wordeman Fall Family picnic! SO fun to see many friends and family I haven't seen in a while. Yet another blessing- laughter really can be the best medicine!
Hoping and praying for smooth rounds! This is what's so annoying to me about statistics - yes, they can say that for x in y women who have this profile, they only need 4 rounds. But you're an individual and it doesn't really mean that your individual chances are x in y.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the final rounds of chemo! We support your decision 100% and wish you the best! We know you have the strength to take these final rounds in stride. We think of you often and you are always in our hearts and prayers. We cannot wait until you are in the "Survivor's Club" ! Best Wishes and Warmest Regards - Jess Brett and Olivia
