Met with the Medical Oncologist this morning - Dr.M (a different Dr.M - not Dr.M the Surgeon). She explained that I am HER2 positive and have a rapid growing cancer. Even though the tumor was removed, there is a possibility that cancer may be "unseen" in other places - she stated that unequivicably I must have Chemotherapy due to the manner in which cancer cells grow in my body.
I will have six cycles of Chemotherapy (cycles occur every 3 weeks), my chemo cocktail will be Taxotere, Cytoxan and Herceptin. After the six cycles I will continue with Herceptin every 3 weeks for 6 months. Dr. M's nurse gave me three pages of definite and potential side affects I will encounter. She also provided me with prescriptions for a steroid and two anti nausea drugs along with with a recipe for a mouth rinse and a nose spray.
It was all just too much today, information overload! I honestly stopped listening because my mind just floated away as I started to think about what I did to deserve this. Why me?
The nurse kept asking me if I wanted a prescription for a wig - "you sure you don't want one?" Losing my hair is not a major concern for me. I've worn a short hair cut for almost 15 years - hair, or the lack there of, is not a big deal. I was also told that I will have to have Dr.M (Surgeon) put a port in my chest for the administering of the Chemotherapy. I DO NOT WANT A PORT IN MY CHEST!!!!
Next week, I have to get a bone scan, chest scan, and some heart analysis shit!! The Chemotherapy is set to begin the first week in June, after the test next week and the port placement.
I reviewed my medical claims submitted to insurance since the diagnoses in March - $29K and counting. Cancer is expensive! Thank god I have insurance.
With all this treatment news, beside the fact I'm heading into another weekend with this freakin drain still hanging at my side - it seems things would be better if I just put a pistol to my temple and pull the trigger.
This is pathetic.
Your hard earned tax dollars and to call 911 and receive this response is unacceptable.

Thank you to my friend on twitter @JayMoney for sharing this article:
Publisher Mulls Legal Action To Stop Sales Of 'Racist' Obama T-Shirts
Some people cannot understand why the depiction of Obama as a monkey is hurtful.
It's a historical stereotype of African American culture that is unacceptable and some people will NEVER understand for some of these insensitive individuals do not feel the rage of emotions of hurt when you see this image dangled in front of your eyes to represent your community.
I am not an animal but a human being!
Other article as Obama as a monkey:
Political Radar: Limbaugh Caller Says Obama Reminds Daughter of Cartoon Monkey
This was a past post that I shared about Obama being equated as a monkey but read the comments. Some people wanted to challenge me saying they did not understand or that it was not racist. I tried to share but the person obviously is someone who will never get it. I will pray for you.

Hey, I'm not one to pass on free food and drinks and with the economy they way it is today - I'm all over it! T marked the calendars to make sure we got free Southern Style Chicken sandwiches from McDonald's today and also the free iced coffee Dunkin Donuts gave away all day today (until 10 PM). Both were great!
Honestly, WHY?
Hillary Clinton (WHY does her page go DIRECTLY to her donation page? Hmmm DANG!) won the vote in West Virginia. CNN - After big win, Clinton vows to push forward
I was not surprised and that is because this election represents a wide variety of views.
Some views I do question but that is what makes America unique for we all walk different paths.
A friend of mine did share with me through email that a friend of hers ran for a state election in West Virginia.
This is the letter her friend wrote who was in the election to a magistrate:
Subject: RE: Greetings from......
I lost my race, but put up the best fight I could.? I had 1800 to spend while the person that beat me had 50k to spend.
I ended up getting attacked by the police days before the election.? check out this cite- the ones talking about me are cops and co's.? http://www.huntingtonnews.net/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001760
It was much worse, but the cops took down their responses after I called them out and told them I am going to sue them for slander. They said things like I am H-town's biggest problem, that crime has increased 97% since I've been here.???? The whole time I was thinking they are promoting my book for me- kool.
Hang in there, many afflictions are that of the righteous.?? I hope things turn around for the fam.
Love ya,
b
