MRI Results

Today my MRI results came back and it is good news. The radiologist didn't see any sign of cancer in my lymph nodes or in the right breast... whew, sigh of relief. We still won't know 100% about the lymph nodes until they test some of them during my surgery, but as least it appears to be good news.

I also found out that my tumor is ER-Positive and HER2-Positive. I'm just going to sum that up as I'll need to take LOTS of drugs this year, on top of Chemotherapy. However, I do know they are still testing the tumor to gather more information about the HER2 part. So, I'll get more details once I talk to my doctor again.

Tomorrow I'll see the plastic surgeon about my reconstruction. I'm wondering why every time I mention reconstruction everyone asks if I'll go ahead and augment, at least one size up. Huh? What are you all trying to say people? My doctor even let me know it would be free to size up if I want to! Not gonna happen, but I appreciate all the attempts at trying to convince me! ;)

That's all for today. I will say I have gotten some great websites from other friends and family who have gone through this. I read an entire message board today called- "I'm gonna go bald"- it made me laugh and realize there are so many women out there who have been through this. I raise my glass to these ladies and thank them for paving the way for the rest of us going through it now!
