I am waiting for results from the oncotype dx test and the oncologist is talking with my hear doctor to see if my heart can with stand herceptin treatments. He said as it stands right now I am need at least 24 chemo treatments. I have not shed a tear from all this cancer stuff until he said chemo and that I would likely loose my hair and then I cried like a crybaby pee pee pants lol. But now... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/910042/132707/wanted http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/910042/131804/lumpectomy Mon, 14 Feb 2011 22:38:19 -0500 JUDYLEANN I got good news today and wanted to share it. On Feb. 4, I had a lumpectomy. Today I went to the surgeon to find out the results. Though the area of cancer was much bigger than he had thought, (it was 1.8 cm) he did get it all and the lymp nodes are cancer free. I am so very happy. Now I will start the AI drug therapy and as soon as I have healed from the surergy I will start the 33 radiation treatments. I am so glad it was caught in time... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/910042/131804/lumpectomy
