update

A mini refresher for those of you not familiar with my story...triple neg IBC with mets to the lymph nodes between my lungs. I've been on chemo since Aug 2011, my doc wants me to take a chemo break and I'm pretty scared by that idea...now you're all caught up.

So what I didn't talk about in my last post...there is a teeny tiny itsy bitsy lump just below my mastectomy scar. Of course, it could be scar tissue. But it doesn't feel like the rest of the scar tissue in the area (I have lots), but it also doesn't feel like the previous recurrence. The bottom line, I decided to have the biopsy done. It's too small and awkwardly located for a needle biopsy, so we're doing a little incision on June 4th, the soonest my surgeon can get me in. (Which also means I have to postpone jury duty scheduled for the 4th.) I decided I would rather deal with another wound than worry.

Anyway, the decision to have the biopsy means no chemo for a minimum of three weeks. When we know the results of the biopsy, I'll make the next decision. In the meantime, I'm napping and sleeping in when I want (it's so glorious!). And feeling some energy here and there, especially on days when I have coffee.

Hugs,

Linda
