I looked on my patient portal and also talked to the oncology nurse that will follow me through treatments. I have triple negative breast cancer with is an aggressive cancer and harder to treat as it has no hormone receptors. There are new drugs specifically for this cancer so that's good news. It's also good news that they caught it early. Please continue to pray for the lymph node biopsy that was sent off to pathology. We are praying it is cancer free. That would mean the cancer was contained and did not spread. That would put me at stage 1 - early cancer. I go see the oncologist next Wednesday. They will run a genetic test on me to see if I have the genes that cause cancer. Often times the BRCA 1 gene causes triple negative breast cancer. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support through this journey. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster but I know God is in control of the situation.

Evelyn, you've been held close to my heart and in my mind since the beginning. This will continue and I hope and pray that it is contained. The bright spot is that they have made so much progress and know so much more than they used to know and that they caught it so early. Sending you continued prayers and hugs. :praying2::praying2::praying2::hug2::hug4:

Thank you so much, Jenn! We are praying for a good report from the final lymph node biopsy and about the genetic testing they will do next week. We are praying I don't have the BRCA 1 or other breast cancer gene mutations as that would put our daughters at risk.

That's is so wonderful. Tha wait is the hardest. I remember I had a pet scan to see if the cancer had gone beyond the lymph nodes. I had a few nodules in the lymph nodes, and all my lymph nodes are taken out.
I had to wait two weeks for the results. Way too long, so I called the hospital and requested to be seen earlier. Lucky the understood, and even more lucky the rest of my body was clean.
But the wait was horrible!
