Health Update:
May 3rd NO evidence of disease/normal blood cancer markers
May 13th - Cancer is back (in less than 10 days!!?)
May 18th - surgery to remove Kidney stents (yay)
Today - Back on chemo with HOPE it's going to kill these suckers faster than they grow.
New scans this week to figure out where it's spread.
Here's what we know:
This cancer is a rare and an extremely fast growing type of er/pr+ Her2- Invasive Lobular Carcinoma breast cancer. It's acting more like Ovarian cancer at the moment and it's tricky to treat. But it's growing fast and I can feel it. I'm sick but not ready to give up.
I'm tired, I'm in agonizing pain at times, I'm fatigued, I can't eat much, I'm shrinking, I'm scared shitless of dying and I throw up and I cry ALL.THE.TIME. (we laugh a lot too) BUT I AM NOT READY TO GIVE UP YET.
I have a couple more med options before I have to give up on the chemo. So.....I will do what I can, for as long as I can, with what I've been given.
After that it's up to the universe.
Until then, I've got my beautiful kids here with Jeff and me and we are a family and it's fricken perfect. They are a huge help to me but more importantly Jeff.
He's taken on so much its like he's been hit by a truck physically, spiritually and emotionally. Our job now is to keep looking after him so he can continue to be the Chief Cancierge caregiver. A job that he has mastered in the last 10 years.
So for now, WE LIVE
Peace and Love friends,
