Slash, Burn, and Poison

Yes that is the typical treatment for cancer. (I didn't coin that clever phrase - just borrowed it.) So far I have successfully completed the slashing (X2) and burning (X35) and will find out Monday if we are going to proceed with the poison. If so, it will merely be hormone therapy to slow or stop the growth of hormone-receptor-positive cells and not traditional chemotherapy that makes one throw-up and lose hair. That is a good thing. I continue to remain thankful that I have received such excellent, conservative, compassionate care from the many health care professionals in my midst.

All continues to be well.
