Good News

 

Don't ask me what that means! 

It's just a saying we've used in the South for as long as I can remember.

And

I am as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine today! 

I went to the oncologist yesterday. I'd already been having doubts creep in about doing chemo at my age. 

But, they found my HR2 was positive when they did the biopsy, when was that... seems like ages ago. 

Don't ask me what HR2 is, either.

I just know that it has to do with the cells in your breast and skin and mine was positive so if a tiny positive bit was floating around in there, it would be agressive and that's not good.

So, yesterday the dr. said, no chemo.

but, he strongly recommended a shot that they do every 3 weeks of Herceptin to fight that bad HR2 positive thingy.

I start that treatment next week. 

To say I was relieved is an understatement. I mean.... I am in good shape for my age but I 'ain't' no spring chicken either. I just couldn't imagine what chemo would do to me. 

Thanks for your prayers, your concern and for having my back.

You are the greatest!
