It means SO much to me and I truly feel all your virtual hugs, love, prayers & vibes. I never expected such a huge response. It feels great to have so many people with me on this journey!
I am feeling pretty good emotionally. I'm over the initial shock of my diagnosis and in fight mode. Yesterday's appointment went as well as it could and we're so thankful for that.
A few clarifications to my jumbled post yesterday. I've been thinking about the whole chemo thing and when I said the doc made it sound like I wouldn't need chemo, I just misunderstood her. Basically she was telling us that the pathology alone doesn't dictate chemo. But the oncologist most likely will decide to order chemo because of my age and health. I'm guessing this is a better safe than sorry approach. Obviously I'll know more once I see the oncologist later this week (and I probably shouldn't even be speculating but that's hard for me LOL).
We have decided to wait until we see the oncologist to talk to the kids. I should be getting a call early in the week from a nurse patient advocate who I can discuss the best, age appropriate way to tell the kids. She will also discuss a possible research study and answer any other questions we may have.
All in all, I'm feel really positive and very good about what we know so far. This will not beat me.
