Today's Doctors Visit


Today was a hard day! But I know that Heavenly Father is aware of me and knows my desires. 

 I will just basically list what I was told at my appointment today:
  • I have been diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer that has metastasized to my brain and bones. 
  • This is incurable, terminal.
  • The only drug that works against Triple Negative Breast Cancer is chemo.
  • Chemo can not kill it, but it can shrink it and I will have to take chemo the rest of my life.
  • Chemo doesn't work in the brain like the rest of the body hence the reason we radiate the brain.
  • Prognosis hard to pinpoint due to unknowns of how body will react and the fact that it's in my brain.
  • We've been told to not hold back on anything we want to do as a family.
  • It's All about time.
  • We are going to get second opinions from UofW in Seattle and Huntsmans Cancer Center in Utah. 
  • I ask that as you pray, please help me to know which direction God wants me to take. Hard decisions to make this next week and it's been an emotional, exhausting day!
