This post will be my personal type of Caring Bridge you folks might as well hear it from the horse’s mouth. I love the Caring Bridge. I feel that is a great tool for really sick folks. The cure will make me sick but not sick enough for someone else to relay my health. (That’s what I am going with for now)
The facts are.
My oncologist is Dr. Scott Cole he is with Cancer Care Associates at St. Francis
My Chemo cocktail will be ACT: A for Adriamycin, C for Cytoxa given every two weeks. 4 treatments. (Eight weeks) I will be given a drug Neulasta given day of and day after to build white blood cells.
And T for Taxol. After the AC I will then take the T once a week for 12 weeks.
I will be having a bone density test and an echocardiogram an incidental finding in my breast MRI. Showed, I had cysts abutting around heart and lungs more like pericardial than pulmonary. So need to get that checked out first. The A is hard on the heart. We need to make sure the ticker is good. PET SCAN also showed some fibroid tumors in my uterus. This is no big deal but getting that all check out as well.
Lab work was done. I will also have a port placed. The expected time treatment should start will be around 6th week mark after my surgery. The estimated time would make that week of March 8th.
That is all I know now. I need continued thoughts and prayers, as well for my family. I can do surgery, However, being sick not my best quality.
