Nov. 30, 2012 - The
decision has been made. I struggled mentally for two weeks, reading, praying, talking
and soul searching.
In the beginning my mindset was….
I am only Stage 2 and
clean lymph nodes….do I really need chemo? I don’t want chemo !
However, after reading everything I have, chemo looks like the right thing to
do ( for me). I want to attack this cancer with everything I can and my doctor thinks
that this is my best choice.
I have prayed about it and I wish I could say I am
absolutely sure it’s the right thing to do. But honestly it is a gamble, we
simply don’t know who will get a second cancer and who won’t even if I am early
stage breast cancer. They say if it comes back it is harder to fight.
So now I
am reading about my Chemo drug names and the hormone treatment drug and the
estrogen fighting drug. Some of which I will be taking for 5 years.
This is not a pleasant journey….I urge all my friends to research plastics
and estrogen, hormones & antibiotics
in our meat & poultry, pesticides, herbicides and more…stuff that we
are subjecting our bodies to.
1 out of 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime.
This is cancer society stats, not mine.
