New and Encouraged!

in Breast Cancer #1

I am new to the discussion boards, but encouraged by all the support that is given to the members! 

in our family we talk in sports terms. Today I start my 4th quarter of chemo treatments for my stage II triple negative. After this treatment I will have a few days of "off season" before my double mastectomy and tram reconstruction on Jan 5. We call the surgery and recovery that will follow the pre-season conditioning. for any sport the conditioning is the worst and most important part of a successful team. I know that 2016 will be a winning season....cancer free! 

While I am new to the discussion boards, I am not new to cancer. I successfully battled non-hodgkins lymphoma 3 years ago. From these battles I have learned that I don't get to be in control of the world, but I can be in control of the joy I find in life each day. My very early morning joy today was discovering this forum to share positive stories, ask questions that only people with the insiders view can answer, and to seek support from a group of fierce warriors! 

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read this. Find joy in your day....and Go Team!

    Great attitude!

    Thank you for sharing your positive energy!  May all continue to go well.  Just keep in mind that as you face your opponent, the gameplan may be changed by the coaches.  In the end, all treatments are completed, and you are ready to move on to the next challenge or celebration.

    I don't know anything about sports.... but my Husband called the "girls"   hood ornaments and told the Dr they had no function on how the motor ran to uncrew them and put them on a shelf somewhere.   Guess I made it to Checkered Flag!!! 

     

    Keep up the great positive attitude..and welcome aboard.
