This was a very nerve racking meeting as all my known histology reports would be with the new reports after my lumpectomy and lymph node clearance and also an important HER2 test on the protein in my cells.
Apparently cancer cells feed and multiply with high levels of oestrogen hormones which I have 8/8 and high levels of protein which would be HER2 postive+. Thankfully my HER2 was negative so my treatment is NO CHEMO which I am so relieved about.
I now have to heal and meet my oncologist consultant on 28th May and go on to the next treatment radiotherapy which is for 3 weeks - 5 days a week, Following that I will then be on hormone treatment Arimidex for 5 years to reduce my oestrogen levels (I think)
Now to play catch up again for last week - DRINK

That is great news Lynne! I am so glad you will not have to have chemo. While radiation is no fun, it is so much better than chemo! Love your pictures. Makes me want to make a cocktail and it is only 10:00 am here! LOL
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Lynne, my brother has just finished 7wks of radio which came after surgery and chemo, he said the radio wasn't as bad as he was expecting. Keep positive. Lovely photos. xxx

On our side we have a bit of trouble too. Our beautiful Rhea isn't well at all, she hardly can walk and we are close to the end. I have cancelled my trip to HongKong to join Dennis for his work in order to stay with her. I will try to blog one of these days but I have a heavy heart. All my love to you and Peter. Please say hello to the girls for me. Anne xxx
