Dr Gladdy gave me the news - the good thing is surgery was successful with clean margins, and the cancer is out!!! But she had arranged for Dr. Watson to see me immediately after - he will be my medical oncologist this time. I will be moving ahead with chemo in August.
I liked Dr. Watson right away and I know he wants to help me. He called this another “bump in the road” and that he wants to get me through this and have it be in my rear view mirror again as soon as possible. I like that attitude!
There is a new protocol option available now that I plan to try and I also have the option to try a cold cap. Which means I may keep some hair or at the very least it will protect my follicles for faster regrowth and less thinning.
It’s good and bad that I’ve done chemo before. In a sense I feel more prepared. I got my eyebrows microbladed so at the very least I don’t need to draw those one which is a big deal. I also know how tough it was. Not just the side effects. Which at times were really tough. it’s the isolation and loneliness that comes with having cancer.
I know it’s 4 months of a hard road. I will pull up my big girl pants and get through.
I feel a lot of love and support which is overwhelming and I am so grateful for it.
I am grateful also for a strong medical team that has my back and will do what they can for me. I know I’m in the best place for the best care.
