I was diagnosed March 2019 when we found my 4+ cm lump...that later showed as two (the second 11mm nearby).
They told me it was Very Aggressive Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Carcinoma...ER-,PR-, and HER2-.
May through July I started with chemo - 4 A/C (that dissolved the 4+cm tumor quickly) and 7 of 12 Taxol treatments before neuropathy set in to much for my oncologist to continue.
I had my Unilateral Mastectomy Surgery in August to remove the area around the dissolved tumor and to remove the second unaffected one. Which pathology then said that the remaining tumor was actually ER-, PR+, HER2-. The PR+ was a complete surprise to me...though my dr's said it showed a small PR+ sign from the start but not enough on their charts to matter....ugh! Obviously I have some unresolved story there.
I am now awaiting reconstruction to begin (DIEP flap) later this month (postponed from last month as my surgeon fell ill the night before my scheduled date.
Prior I had my first episodes with AFib and since I have had melanoma removed from my shoulder.
It's been a busy year!
I am one of seven children originally, a wife (with a great husband), mother and step mother, a grandmother to 10. We currently live in NC. Our kids are in Indiana and Texas.
I am a life coach, a personalized aroma therapist and intuit trained in a few energy practices, and so much more....
