Throughout the past year-and-a-half I've discovered that I like good surprises. After my radiation treatment yesterday the therapist said I
only have 7 treatments left. I thought I
had 10 so not that much of a difference but exciting none the less. Starting today I am getting “the boost” which
is a targeted radiation treatment to the incision area where they removed my
tumor. I will not need xrays and will
only get radiation from one angle, from what I understand. What does this mean? It means my treatment should take about 1
minute instead of 15-30 minutes.
Here’s a recap of the past few months. It seems clear as day to me since I’m going
through it but I know it’s not clear to everyone else.
6/20/13 – went in for my annual exam. My OB/GYN found a lump and sent me to my
breast surgeon to get an ultra sound. My
breast surgeon said it looked like a fat necrosis (masses of dead fat, common
with breast surgeries and nothing to worry about) and to come back in 3 months
for a check-up.
9/26/13 – went back for my check up and the mass that was
thought to be a fat necrosis had grown so we did a biopsy and the mass was
actually cancer, not fat necrosis.
10/14/13 – surgery to remove the tumor
12/10/13 – started radiation.
1/30/14 – radiation should be done. I meet with my Oncologist and make plans to
get my port put back in so I can start chemo.
