Dr. Oommen Report

Went to go see Dr. Oommen the chemo oncolgy Friday on the 21. Before surgery tumor was measuring 13 cm and by the time surgery it had gotten smaller down to 6 cm. It was stage 3A he also said that the tumor I had was just not on the left side of the breast it was in all quadrants which means the whold breast was cancer. He did say that the cancer I have is a sneaky one. Even thou I don't have any breast it can still come back on the chest wall and in the scar. So he still wants me to do radation for 6 weeks. You would think that will take care of it. Well not so much so I will keep taking the Tomaxfin for 5 yrs and then another drug for 5 more years after that. I will be 61 when I am through and his remake was if he was me he will still worry. And he wants me to have my ovaries remove so that my body don't produce any estrogen. He is wanting to get really aggresive with my cancer.

So he is sending me to a gyn and going to see about having my overies remove. I go see her next week. Then on the 3rd I get to go see the oncolgy for radiation. So I guess my treatment well consist of 10 years. As longs as I get my treatment and what ever it takes to keep it from coming back I'm good with it.

I just have to say life is good no matter what bumps in the road I hit God's got my back!
