3 rounds chemo - Taxol
30 radiation treatments
2 surgeries
6 more rounds chemo Adriamycin/cytoxan
18 months recurrent cellulitis etc etc etc ....
lymphedema with therapy
spontaneous fracture of port-a-cath, sailed into and lodged in right side of heart and had to be retrieved ...
(oh yeah the husband ran off with an angel of mercy)
But HOLY COW !
Good news:
TEN ... 10 years later I am alive, have no detectable lingering damage or disease, and doing what ever I want to do ... to celebrate I am making a pink cake ...
Blessings to ALL who have made or are now making the journey ...
