My Medical Oncologist called me today and his consultation agreed that chemotherapy isn't necessary! Woo hoo!! I know... everyone is sad they don't get to see this fabulous bald head come out and play again and no auto AC at the beach this year. I am excited tho about no chemo for the obvious reasons... nausea and potential to murder my heart. I will have to do 7 weeks of radiation and then hormonal therapy which I'm not thrilled about but if doing that for 2-3 years keeps me from having to get this news again, it's worth it I guess. So personal summers....here I come!!! I go on Tuesday to meet with my Radiation Oncologist for the final meeting before I start the radiation treatments. Let's get this show on the road :) If for some reason the hormone therapy is rejected by my body and I just can't handle it like what happened the original time I tried it 4 years ago, then we might look at chemo at that time however, they may have a difficult time figuring out what kind of chemo I can have since the chemo I had the first round was hard core stuff and could kill my heart.
Tomorrow is Friday! Just in case you forgot :)
