Today is a month post op from mastectomy

31. Oh I am glad you are doing well enough to play golf!

That is excellent news! 😍

The doc scheduled an MRI for me (first one available 31 August, boo for the delay) and a biopsy of the other tumor, and meeting with plastic surgery/oncology 5 Sept. Worries about insurance coverage because it is out of network but will talk to Aetna about that and see.

The great news is my cancer has estrogen and progesterone receptors and is HER negative. So that gives more options for treatment and lessens the chance I will have to undergo chemo.

So as it stands now, MRI, another biopsy, partial mastectomy both sides with breast lift and reconstruction. Should all be accomplished before the end of September, and then radiation treatments and estrogen blockers.

I’m feeling tremendously encouraged now and feel I have a very good chance at surviving this cancer. Feeling very hopeful.

Here’s to surviving cancer!

And I found out a new Thai food restaurant opened nearby so I am going to be having some Thai food on Friday and life is good! 😀
