I worked through my treatment remotely. Thankfully Covid showed my job could be from home and it worked. I went to the COH in Duarte California. I think at my 2nd visit I was asked if I? wanted the genetic test. I had donated platelets at the Red Cross for 25 years, so have my blood studied was big deal. I am glad i did as i found out i had the Brca2 mutation. That changed the treatment i had. My tumor was 5cm and only shrunk 1/2 with chemo.
I kept a journey that had questions about meds, how i felt today, where pain was if any and a couple reflective questions. IT was a journal from mind flight and I have no idea who sent it to me. I used it all year mostly daily.
Fear? you know "victoryoverthis" our ability to walk through these events is focusing on the things we can do something about. Let the doctors and team do what they do, the those who give us tests like MRI's just do it, and me? Take deep breaths and do each thing one at a time. My side effects from my breast cancer were never as awful as i read. No skate in the park but do able with a great attitude most days.
