I am back have not been blogging for a while. Just been going to thru so stuff. But it is good to be back. To get yall caught up on whats been going on with the cancer stuff. After I had my reconstruction I also had my port taken out. Didn't really need it any more no big deal. July 2012 went to my oncologist for a routine check up had him look at my neck. He did a CT scan on it and low and behold it came back cancer. But the funny thing about it is that the knot I have in my neck was not the cancer. But the cancer is in my neck around c5 and c6. They could never find out what the knot in my neck is. Then he wanted to send me to have MRI done cause I was having headaches. Well guess what MRI show I have cancer in my bones. All thru my spine up and down the the T1-12 just scattred thru out the spine. Also in the right hip and tail bone. So now in Nov. 2012 I start a injection call Zometa by IV every month. I sure wish I would have kept that port. But no I had to have it taken out thought I had the breast cancer beat. So I go ever month have lab work done and get a injection. That first injection let me tell you it knock me to the floor. I was sick sore all over I thought I had been beaten up. The good thing about it, it only last for 24 lot hrs. Now the Zometa is to help keep the bones from breaking. The cancer can cause the bones to become fragile. And I also have to take extra calium. The Zometa can cause low calium levels. So here it is a year from last year and I still have it. No chemo cause the chemo didn't work the first time. So what it is call now Breast Cancer/Bone Metisesa or secondary cancer. So I am pretty much stuck with the cancer. Doctor said it is not going any where. I will always have it. It will either be stable or grow. Did a Pet Scan in Feb. 2013 that confirm it for sure. I do experience a lot of pain cancer in the bone is very painful. I still take my Tamoxfin every night if yall remember the Tamoxfin is to keep the cancer from reoccurance. So you problaly ask how did it come back. I will explain that in my blog.
Just remember God will always have your back! He has always been there for me. Until next time count your blessing.
