Hi my followers!!! I hope everyone is having an amazing Sunday! Its infusion day! Today will mark my 4th of 11 Herceptin treatments! Only 7 left after today....WOOO! Oh and I Friday I had my first boost of radiation! Got some cool new temporary tattoos and markers for the therapists to know exactly where to treat. Can I just tell you how fast it is! Over in what seems like 30 seconds and Im done and back in the dressing room getting dressed and leaving! Only 4 left and then I will be done with radiation FOREVER! I can let my poor boob heal and let my body continue to heal without all this chemo and radiation in it! Oh and after Wednesdays last physicians visit this coming Wednesday I do not have to see my radiologist oncologist for a MONTH! I see my regular oncologist every 3 to 4 weeks and now my radiologist every month then moved to every 6 weeks! My surgical oncologist every 6 months! My doctor visits are becoming less and less! Yay! My weekly blood work tests are once a month and everything looks so great I have to get a mammogram every year instead of every 6 months! But of course if anything feels weirds or I have pain all my doctors will be on top of it. How I got so blessed with 4 amazing doctors I do not know! Dr. Burke (my PCP) who helped find my cancer and took me serious when I told her about the pain and lump. She acted fast and a week later she told me I had breast cancer. She had already had spoken to my surgical oncologist and had appointments set up for me. Dr. Guirguis (my surgical oncologist) my super star! I remember our first meeting like it was yesterday, she held my hand and she explained what stage, type and broke it down on how serious my type of cancer was and held my hand as my mom held me as I bawled my eyes out. She listened to me as I explained to her how important it was to me that I keep my breasts and she believed in me and she made sure I kept both! Dr. Williams (oncologist) she took every little side effect very serious. Every hospital visit she called me personally along with every hospitalization. Every visit she made sure to comment on how beautiful I was and even more now. She never made me feel like a hypochondriac for calling if not every day every other day. She listened to my frustrations and always had a solution. Dr. Ryu (radiologist oncologist) She also believed me and had a part in letting me keep my breasts. She listens to me and my mom and any help I have needed she has been there. I love each and every one of these amazing woman! They have all played a part in saving my life! You 4 are my guardian angels! Thank you for always believing in me and listening to my irrational fears! XOXO ANYWAYS! Now that is a super long post! I wanted to share what I had posted on my personal page! Never did I think I would feel normal again and slowly after each surgery and each treatment is completed I feel more like myself. My hair is coming back faster than I could of ever imagined, Im back in the gym and every day it seems a silly little side effect fades away and a little piece of me comes back to life. Even though a lot about me has changed I am still the same Danielle and I can not remember the last time I have felt this normal or this good. How did I get so lucky to come back from this god awful disease so soon? To all my friends on here that our currently going through a rough time right now...hang in there, keep your head up and fight. I can promise you that it will all get better just stay positive, cry at the hard times, laugh at the good times and enjoy life no matter what. I am proof that you can overcome anything in this world. Life is a crazy beautiful thing :) Have an amazing day followers!!!
