Cycle 3 is a go!


Great news! Cycle 3 is a go! Labs were beautiful if I do say so myself! My gran team really kicked it!


 More great news! During the tumor board when my case was discussed, the radiologists input identified that what was found on my T11 vertebra was not suspicious of malignancy. At this time, it’s monitor and rescan but whew! did that take a load off my shoulders. A biopsy will not be needed for true pTNM staging and it’s not even being considered as a potential for metastases. 

 My oncologist was a sport and answered all my questions from my checklist and we’re on a positive trajectory! 



 I’ll be here, enjoying my view. This is my glimmer for the day! Thank you all for your continued support! 🥰



TL;DR
  • Cycle 3 is a go because my labs were amazing. 
  • T11 vertebra is no longer a dark cloud looming over my head. It is not considered a concern for metastases and does not need biopsied at surgery for pTNM staging. 
  • You can do hard things!
  • My glimmer is sunshine and mountains. 
Happy Monday!
