Its been awhile since I've updated and so much has happened in two weeks time. The first week after surgery was so rough I'm glad its behind me and I'm finally on the other side of things. Sadly my eyebrows fell out :( but I think it was because new ones were pushing the old ones out, so I now have what I call fuzzbrows because they're like ghost eyebrows. My eye lashes although stubby are coming back in full force which is exciting! And my head hair although getting longer looks pretty pitiful, I'm an adult with the hair of an infant :/ not the best look!
Best news yet: At the time of surgery there was NED or no evidence of disease! Chemo completely obliterated my three tumors and left behind NOTHIN not even one microscopic cell!
Better news: because there was no cancer left I DONT NEED RADIATION! Which means far less complications with reconstruction :)
Other good news: I'm pretty certain I get my last surgical drain out today! Which means showers will be far less complicated and I can start to wear more normal clothes :)
Best of all: I'm done with all "active" treatment! I will have to take a hormone blocker for 5 years :( but its worth it and doesnt really effect daily life. Im thinking it will be like taking birth control pills, although opposite because it blocks estrogen rather then elevating it.
Now if only it would be summer already!!
Also Thank You to all the wonderful people who sent me flowers.. I had my own garden!
