No no not the baseball team!
I finally joined Young Survivors Coalition's website. It's like a FB for women fighting cancer, sharing life stories, treatments they are all doing, and survivors on there to support the newly diagnosed. There's a private group for mets only people. I haven't found it yet...still navigating the site. I didn't join sooner just because I didn't want to get emotional reading all the posts. But so far it is not so bad, there are tough girls on there with great attitude. I posted a topic to see if anyone is doing the same treatment I am doing and just to get an idea if it works, time frame, what happens next etc... I had a few replies...haven't found anyone yet. I do know...later down the road I have to get a mastectomy. When that time comes around... somebody just knock me out and wake me up when I get new boobies.
Anyway... I've decided to kick Komen to the curb (no offense) I really like YSC and plus it is not as big as Komen. The org caters more to my age range. Now I want to do the Tour De Pink Ride instead of the Komen Walk. =P

All Signs Points to Regression
It's been two months since I last saw Dr. E the Oncologist. I saw him briefly this morning, I don't have any problems or symptoms to complain about. My visit today was all good news, minus the fact that I have to continue to be on this monthly treatment indefinitely. Which means I will be in Texas for a while.
The cancer is responding to the treatment and has been since the last time I saw Dr. E. when he told me it shrank a CM. But today it is still the same size, and not growing. My lymph nodes are normal, no lumps or swelling there, and nothing in my right breast. He said, that as long as I'm not having side effects or pain it is a good sign.
I see him again in October, he said to continue my lifestyle and I will be fine. LOL Yeah... I am on a healthy diet now that I am back from San Diego! I still believe it's what I am eating, vitamins, exercise, and positive thoughts/energy. Especially, all the love from my family, friends, and random people out there showing support to keep me fighting!
I have to admit it's not easy, I have my moments wondering about death, not waking up the next day, blacking out etc, but I try to block the negative thoughts that crosses my mind quickly. Not only that, negative people drive me crazy too... I don't need unnecessary drama. =P
