Somebody is praying for me!

Hello all...I was just online viewing the results from my chest x-ray and ultrasound taken on last week. Well...the positives outweighed the negatives. Some of the masses and nodes have decreased in size since March which means the therapy is working along with your prayers. Only a couple of the nodes showed a slight increase in size. As for the chest x-rays...all still looks good... lungs, heart etc.,. I have more test scheduled for August and that will be the next time I see the doctor with more positive results. God is good! Keep on praying family and friends.

No Traffic Jams

My husband and I had a pleasant ride to the medical center this morning. No traffic jams or nothing...thank goodness for holidays! I had an appointment for an ultrasound at 8:00 a.m. and I was out of there by 9:40...another reason to be thankful for holidays. As soon as I signed in and sat down, they called my name. I didn't even get a chance to warm my seat good. I brought books, my journal and magazines to read while I wait, but didn't get a chance to get a glance at them. The doctor only scheduled a view of the right breast and the lymph nodes. They will compare it to the one they did in March. I tried to get results out of the radiologist at the time she was probing, but she was too busy telling me about her vacation to Disney World. Once I get them, I will let you know.

Update

It's been almost 4 months since my diagnosis. I have had numerous test, a change in my eating habits, I've lost a few pounds and I have had genetic and nutritional counseling. Last week I had a follow up visit with the doctor. He really didn't have too much news to make me say "yippee." He said he should have more results in a couple of months when more test are done. It usually takes about 6 to 7 months before you can see the progress the treatment is making. My genetic test did come back negative. I kind of figured it would though. The nutritional counseling was very good and informational. I had a chance to let them know about all the supplements I have included in my treatment plan.

As for me...I feel great! I'm in good spirits and I'm remaining positive through it all. Along this journey, I have the best support system ever! My kids keep me smiling and laughing. I love my family...they have truly been there for me and they are taking good care of me. I never ever have to worry about a ride to my appointments...Kenny & Sham are always ready and willing. Thank yall & I love you much! Until next time...
