Update:
We finished radiation treatments this morning.
Thirty three treatments. Twenty eight were for breast and under the arm area, and final five were only in the breast area.
She did well up to two weeks ago, when the skin was really showing effects of the treatment, but she is doing well.
This afternoon we met with our Oncologist for the final time, until follow up meetings.......
Her blood work is strong for red and white cells, and the bone density test taken in December came back good, so she can start the maintence drug for the next five years.
We have to see an Oncologist every three months to make sure the medication is doing well, and with him, when we are home up north.
It was a positive meeting with him, saying she has done really well with both the radiation and chemo treatments, but as usual, no guarantees and no test that will tell you it has come back. Her risk factor for it returning is in 11% range, based on the original tumor, treatment procedure, and the five year drug treatment.
All we can do is watch for signs of medical problems relating to Cancer and get into a doctor asap.
He gave us a good vibe on the outcome, so we will take him at his word for now!
Only thing to do now is schedule a mammogram which is little over due, because he did not want done until radiation was over............and pack the bags and head to sunny Florida for awhile!
