Hello!
Sorry it’s been a whole week since I updated y’all, there hasn’t been much going on honestly 🙃 but I have some BIG updates today!
I just met with my oncologist this morning 😊 and the news is that we are planning to start chemo as soon as next Wednesday (the 30th!). After an almost month and a half wait is great news.. we finally have a starting point and a plan. This is a huge relief for me & my family right now ☺️
The hope is that I won’t need a port or central line (also a massive relief) only a little butterfly IV for 3 or 4 hours to give my chemo once every 3 weeks 🤩
The chemo will go for 4 rounds (1 round every 3 weeks) – 12 weeks total to start, then we will do another ultrasound after 2 rounds (6 weeks) and another CT after the full 4 rounds (12 weeks) to see how the tumors have responded to the chemo. After the 4 rounds and the CT, we can then assess whether surgery is possible/ feasible to remove the tumors on my ovary as well as on my abdominal wall.
The plan for today is to break out of the hospital and get settled in back home 🥰 continue to rest and take care of myself & get ready to start the process of kicking this cancer to the curb in only 8 days! 💪🏼💪🏼 Let’s goo
