I am 29 yrs old and five days after my birthday I was diagnosed with Stage 2, grade 3, er+/pr+, HER2 +, breast cancer. I've been in and out of the hospital since and thought I'd document my journey. I've already had surgery and a port-a-cath put in, so my blog starts the day I start treatments. If you're just tuning in, then start from the beginning by clicking on "September" on the right column and scroll down to the bottom.

Update: My Oncologist

I've been getting alot of questions about my oncologist. Funny enough, I wrote about my discontent with her on this blog and sure enough she's been great since. The need for me to change is gone, for now at least. I have to give it to her, she knows her stuff. And as of late, she's been emotionally comforting. What a weight off my shoulders!

As for my ankles I forgot to ask yesterday. You know just when I think the chemo brain is gone DORY comes back in full effect. AND to top that off, I had a bone scan last Friday and I completely forgot to follow up on the results! I left a message yesterday to talk to my oncologist and am just waiting for her call back.

Hi Babes,

Well like I said it was like you put it out there to the universe and your question was answered. I am gald to hear that you are feeling more comfortable with your Doc. Don't ignore those signals no matter how silly it may seem - put it out there, talk about it you just never know!
As for the DORY moment! I for one have DORY HOURS all the time LOL and I think DORY is cool!

Love ya'

Shelly
