After another scan and a number of appointments: Monitor and wait!
I.E. not doing the invasive biopsy, which they think / know / believe is cancer, b/c even if biopsy were negative, they would still treat it as cancer . . . i.e. radiation.
Galerie blood test came back negative for cancer markers; holistic doc does not think the cancer regime is needed (high dose Vit C IV, etc., though I did take a number of those treatments).
Will talk with the radiation doc to get a feel for that if it becomes necessary.
So keep following it with CT scans every so many months. If it is cancer, God grant that it grows slowly enough, as it has.
Thanking Him and everyone's prayers for the calmness I have felt dealing with this! My plan is to limit stress, try to exercise and eat right -- not as easy as it sounds!
I have had biopsy. Cancer has returned. I will do the surgery but informed the drs, no chemo, no radiation and no Femara, which has left a a bunch of nasty side effects. I have also told them no drugs produced with dead baby parts. I am intending to review preventive treatments discussed here, keep up with mammograms. So, very glad hearing you're calm. That is the first step. And prayer. Essential component.
This (btw, how are you doing?)
Can't complain, no one would listen! ; )
Actually can't complain at the moment. God is good.
You chose a course?
