Well, we’re back. The good doctor offered to start us back on a lower dose to see how her body faired but Amy declined and asked for the full dose – we fully intend to see this through and take every opportunity to decrease our odds of ever coming back. Good for her!
We met with our Genetics MD today. A lot more is involved than what we were prepared for with this meeting. The end result was we agreed to participate in the BRACA testing to see if we have the gene that predisposed her to cancer. After all, there’s not a lot of people with breast cancer still in their 30’s so we were pretty much a given when we walked in. And it would give us a little closure knowing what caused the derailment of our lives and dropped us flat in the middle of Cancerland…did I ever tell you how much I hate cancer?
We're at treatment number 10 with 2 more of the Taxol before we move onto to the triple combo regimen. After we hit the lab on the 2d floor, we took off upstairs to get back on the chemo roller coaster and really thought it would be easier with the two week break. We were wrong.
