Good News from the Onc

I went to the Oncologist today and the results came back good. I will not have chemo. I will have radiation and meds. It was such a relief! It isn't an agressive type.

    Wonderful!
    I'm so glad that you got good news. I know exactly how it feels. I too was able to skip chemo because of the type of cancer. Congratulations!

    What a blessing!
    So glad that you have received that good news!

    It seems you and I were diagnosied around the same time. I'm waiting for my oncotype tests (I asked that both tumors be tested) to be completed. Reconstruction has certainly been the slowdown in the recovery process! Finally had one drain out yesterday, hoping that this other one will come out tomorrow....

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for.

    Sounds good.
    Chemo can be really hard, I am so glad that you don't have to look forward to that!

    Now that's something to be thankful for! I had similar treatment almost 3 years ago.

    Great news!
    I can honestly say I know how you feel because I did not have to have chemo either. I had 33 rad treatments and now 5 years of Femara.

    SWEET!
    No chemo is great! Congrats. Radiation is not as bad as chemo. Not near chemo, at least from my experience. And chemo isn't horrible so I think you'll do well with that. I pray you recover smoothly and please keeps us posted.

    Yippeeeee!
    Although chemo wasn't so bad, at least for me, it's always good to hear that folks get to miss out on that experience. Rads are a pain but very "doable". Just follow orders to use creams etc. And know that we're with you - the first treatment is the funky part, not knowing what to expect and being alone with the techs etc.
