I went to the hospital today to get the final results from Dr. V. of the multiple scans I did these last couple of days. Result is I'm all clear! No metastases to see anywhere except in my breast. It's brilliant news, cause that means I have a better chance to heal completely.
Dr. V. was quick to add that medical tests are never 100% certain though, but that chemo would eradicate the remaining cancerous cells afterwards. I don't know what to think of Dr. V. She's very sweet and young, but I feel I can't trust her after what I heard from Dr. D. at the other hospital. He was very confident about being able to reduce the tumour before surgery through chemo. But Dr. V. kept saying that she wanted to remove the entire breast, THEN do chemo. She's not willing to take any risks.
To be honest, I prefer to go to a hospital which will take risks than one that wants to play it safe. Especially when my well being is at stake. I will have my very first chemo session this wednesday at 11.15am. I have no idea what is going to happen, and what I'm supposed to do. But I'm gonna do whatever they tell me to do. That 2nd hospital was Godsent. And I hope that I'm making the right decision...
Whatever happens happens now. If the tumour doesn't react well and they have to remove the breast entirely, I will be able to say that at least I tried to save it first. Can you believe that Dr. V. was going to plan the surgery for next tuesday already!? I get shivers just thinking about it!
I'm praying for everything to go smoothly and will keep you posted of course.

RépondreSupprimerHi hunny-bun,
RépondreSupprimerYou're quite right to take risks and go for what you feel is best for you - I'd give you one advice though : keep questioning whatever happens to you or is beiing done, don't just do what the doctor tells you, they're human beings not the almighty. You live in your body and I'm sure will feel what is best for you to a certain extent.
I keep sending you healing vibes.
With love,
