Calling Team Lori...The Unexpected Turn in the Road
After switching treatments in November, the cancer on my bones was responding well to Kadcyla. It was a great relief because Kadcyla is a newer drug and is working effectively for many women.
Less than two weeks ago, someone bumped my side. As I went to rub it, I was surprised to feel a lump in the lower outer area of my breast next to my implant. So last Tuesday, I got a CT Scan that showed a tumor measuring just under 2 centimeters.
The Good News...the cancer on my sternum and rib are stable, my treatments are working well on them.
The Bad News...the tumor is breast cancer of which the treatments were not working. I am now scheduled to have surgery on May 2 to have it removed. And I believe about four weeks after that, I will begin some radiation.
Just a bump in the road! :)
More to come...
Please keep my family in your prayers as we venture on this new stretch of road. I need my TEAM!!
