Well it's final.. the onco dr. had them run the pathology test twice... "negative for carcinoma"...then he carried it down to the Radiologists.. (he was so apologetic for having to put me through this yet again...) I am so relieved and happy... I will be having my simulation for radiation on Sept. 1st... and about a week later will be starting my RAD treatments... I am so glad that I finally get to move ahead that I can't even begin to explain it. Since my lumpectomy on June 9th and dx on May 20th it has been a roller coaster ride like no other... I am just glad that I can finally move forward. I won't be seeing my onco until Nov 17th... two weeks after RADS will be finished... then start the monthly injections of Zoladex (still haven't found anyone who has taken those injections) and daily doses of Femera.

Thanks to everyone of you for supporting me through this... you have no idea what it has meant to me!

♥ & hugs,

~T

    Oobladee!
    Taleena, I am so glad that you finally have some answers and a plan in place. I think the not knowing is the worst. Now you can start putting you school plans together and move on! You may be able to do school and rads, depending upon how you are feeling. RADs are not so bad. I was not ever burned badly and the hardest part was the fatigue as I neared the end of the sessions. I think Pammy's RAD diaries might be a fun way for you to get a good idea of what to expect. Best wishes! ♥Lynn♥

    Wow, wonderful news!!
    T, I am so very happy for you. Doesn't the word "negative" take on a whole new connotation for us? Now you can finally move forward with peace of mind. My best wishes for uneventful rads and the conclusion of your treatments. What sweet relief you must feel! Celebrate this wonderful news!

    Yes, Miss Moopy Mohawk... It was an awful long wait... I am sure there are not many who have had to wait over three months for a final treatment plan.. and I hope fewer will have to!

    T,
    So happy for the negative
    T,
    So happy for the negative and glad that you will be beginning your rads. I hope that they go as uneventfully as possible. It is the least that should happen after all this. Keep us posted as rads start and again, so very, very happy that you had that negative.
