Well I think I got overexcited about todays appointment.
Met with NP Laura and Dr. . She seems to be thorough.
The Biopsy results showed that the infiltrating lobular carcinoma was favorable regarding ER/PR and HER2Neu.. I do not yet know what these mean but the oncologist seemed content as far as my yet limited knowledge goes I think these kinds respond well to hormone related treatments. YEY !!!! And I know that my body is very cooperative to treatments.
So now I still have the following diagnostics left:
1 - MRI
2 - Bone Scan
3 - Ultrasound
4 - SCHEDULING of the actual surgery, I can not seem to get a hold of the surgery schedulers for Dr. Danelle Chambers and Dr. Pope. I am suspecting that since Dr. Chambers is on vacation they are waiting for her to go ahead and give the 'go' for bilateral mastectomy. I will be calling the schedulers on Monday to make sure that they are on top of this.
They gave me numerous brochures/books on chemo and breast cancer, I am severely overwhelmed on even where to start reading and what to read.
Although it seems like a century since all this started, my actual diagnosis ( biopsy result) was only 1 week ago today.
In the meantime I am trying to make some lifestyle changes and am taking 2 supplements to make sure that the damage is minimized.
Lifestyle change:Back down on my workouts to about 6 hours/week max.
Making sure I get at least 7 hours sleep every night.
Practicing letting go and stopping being a worry bug needlessly for things I
have no control on.
Supplements: Beta glucan and Kombucha tea.
Got an appointment from the nutritionist to who is supposed to help me revamp my nutrition I am curious how that will go next week.
Highlight of my day:
Favorable ER/PR/HER2Neu results in the pathology report.
