PET scan and BRCA test results

 One step forward one step backwards

Is the name of the game again.

Great news came in today from my breast surgeon's office, my PET Scan was clear. NO cancer outside of the lymph node and breast cancers I have. That is such a relief hearing that update! It is about time we got some good news and in fact this was GREAT news!!!! Ahhhhh

I talked to my oncologist today and confirmed what protocol for chemo I will be starting with in a few weeks (around the 19th). It is Long and drawn out so I will leave that for another post. 

I will most likely be doing radiation so I await a referral to a radiological oncologist. 

I have a call into my only/gyn to get a referral to a gynecological oncologist so I can set a date to have my ovaries removed. 

Ovaries must be shut down and taken out because I did hear back from the geneticist that I am indeed positive for BRCA-2 gene. 

Yes, I inherited all of this from my paternal  side of the family. Now I know why I have Breast Cancer!!!! 

Deep Breath! 

Exhale! 

Ok, more later on the BRCA -2.

Off to rest this tired body.
