today, the rest of my labwork came in. This is the part that tells them what drugs they can use, and how effective they will be.
Everything that would be 'good' to have I do not have.
Everything that is 'bad' to have, I have strongly. It said I have unfavorable prognostic factors.
The only positive here, is that I am HER2+. That is just another indicator that this is a very very fast growing cancer, BUT there is a specific drug targeted specifically to kill these cancer cells. it is Herceptin.
What I think all of this means is that I am at a much higher risk for cancer in the future. As well as being at risk for it having already spread. If we really caught this early then hopefully the mastectomy will take care of many of those risks. I am pretty sure though, that this means I will be doing chemo.
My surgeon appt is tomorrow. I think that we will decide whether to start chemo before surgery or after.
My appointment is in 22 hours. I have no idea how I am going to make it though those hours without losing my mind.
Luckily- after totally losing it in from of Jim, he was very firm and gentle and strong when he told me that I am NOT going to die, and this will all be okay. I love him.
