Well it’s been a while…I apologize for time passed ….I am dx’ed with Triple Neg Breast Cancer. A year prior I did a heavy upper body workout resulting in not being able to raise my left arm and tore muscle. That was November of 21. January of 22 a huge blood bruise appeared on left breast …..healed away leaving a nut sized ball of scar tissue. In August I noticed changes (had grown quickly)….testing dx of TNB . Gave team whiplash in that the tumor was originally scar tissue for with TNB there surely would have been metastasis . No lymph, involvement , nor chest wall, right breast clear….. This changed perception of team. Giving them whiplash. I am now about to complete 12 weeks of chemo…with Keytruda…. Carbo platinum and Abrexane since I had allergic reaction to Taxol…..to be followed by dose dense AC every 2 weeks ….=8 weeks. Negative for Braca 1/2. Tumor has shrunk / disappeared . The upshot is it would seem turn to cancer was early. Chemo to date has been without side effects and labs I am told are textbook perfect. So I am cautiously optimistic in outcome . And readying myself for this last round of chemo.
