hummingbird's Journey with Invasive (Infiltrating) Ductal Carcin...

To think that my life changed completely after having a routine mammogram is something that,at times, is mind boggling.

I had the sentinel node biopsy on the same day as my lumpectomy so it was a very long day...

I don't know if I would bother having this procedure if I had known that I would still have to have my blood drawn from my arm. Not too many oncology nurses want to use the port as it can be tricky.

I had Mammosite right after my lumpectomy. The most painful part was the removal of the ports at the end of the treatment. It definitely was a shorter procedure and was not painful as far as the radiation was concerned.

I rang the bell in celebration of my last chemo infusion and made sure that I sent a photo to many friends without my hat!!!

I went to a survivorship clinic meeting today with a wonderful fellow survivor who spent over an hour with me to give all types of great info and positive comments to make the road even more definitive for me. I have only to look forward and upward to live a full and rewarding life! God glass the Gibbs Cancer Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina!!!

I had my first post cancer mammogram and it was negative!!! Now I am just working on the side effects from the adjuvant therapy...Tamoxifen...I am very thankful
