Never with my TNBC stage lll was I in fear of my life~ I now find myself in a brilliant predicament

I did not choose this journey and disease as no one would willing choose an illness. It knocked on my door and picked me on my turf and home front and my immediate choice was to fight. Never even with my TNBC stage lll diagnosis, and when I was warned and told how aggressive triple negative breast cancer is  was I ever in fear for my life.
Not for a moment have I ever envisioned losing the battle, war or certainly not my life. I have just always felt down to my core I was going to win this battle and eliminate my cancer and become a survivor. Your attitude is half the battle! If I can fight so hard with five kids you too can prevail over any of  life's challenges as all you need is faith and to pull from your inner strength.

I had moments with the initial diagnosis before my pet scan wondering what I was up against, but also knowing I was up to fighting anything.

I now find myself in a brilliant predicament as I have had a complete clinical response to chemo and my ultrasound confirmed my tumor and  positive lymph node no longer have cancer after my 2nd chemo treatment~ I am such a minority that I will see specialist at Duke to map out the next few chemo treatments to finish this phase of treatment. All we are now doing is chasing any microscopic cells I may or may not have so I have an excellent pathology report of no cancer at surgery.
When I think about what a miracle God has bestowed on myself and family I feel raw emotion and gratitude words can not express. Actions are in order as I will always pay it forward and help all I am able to!

It is important for me to share in hopes that I can be of help to others. I fired my oncologist sadly as he is over run with patients and under staffed with a few whom should not be in medicine and entirely to many mistakes have been made.I am not condoning anyone doing this under going medical treatment unless you have another physician to continue care with. As a patient you are entitled to ask questions, disagree, seek additional options and most importantly receive excellent medical care.

I was due to to undergo 12 additional (different drug) chemo treatments weekly. A regime that was handed out to me when I initially met my oncologist and had cancer. Before he had any idea what God's will can do that I was going to eliminate my tumor and lymph node after two chemo treatments.
I prayed and knew God healed me and to endure 12 more treatments was an over kill to say the very least.
I had a leap of faith and chose to not sit in the chemo chair for the start of the new drugs. It appears I was correct in trusting in God, and my own feelings. It seems I only need under half of my initial 12 week treatments. Had I not of trusted in God or my knowing my own body and listened to that inner voice I could of received a double dose of chemo I did not need and that is quit frightening.

Please listen to that voice "your instinct" and trust as chances are you feel that way for a reason.

My path remains the same I still feel a double mastectomy is the best option for myself, children, husband and family~ I'm just an incredibly blessed lady who will now receive a whole lot less toxic chemo!


I will update after I hash out my new regimen and approximate chemo end date and surgery date.

I ask for prayers that this last phase in chemo ensures me going to surgery cancer free with a clear pathology report. And I tolerate the new drug with no side effects~

Please pray for the two year old  and the mom with cancer in many organs still fighting! Who are my hero's!

Please help me pray for all the less fortunate people and for great outcomes!
