For starters, first this:
Chemotherapy I'm going from now on cheenezings therapy whether cheenezing title.
A so much more positive sounding word, the content of which is the same. healing !

Still chilling at the results and the loads of information I had received, I was left with an empty feeling.
My body that felt so strong, despite my heart being no longer optimal, but trying so hard to do all my habits, and they are not really optimal, just kept doing its job.
Heart function that gets a temporary or worse, definitive show up by chemo.

There was only a big crying mood thrown into it in the evening. My god, what did I end up in? The typo bothered me and I was considering a second opinion.
And all of a sudden I thought that a friend had been a lab worker and could undoubtedly get more clarity from my file. So said, so done, file sent and an hour later it was clear. And it had been so simple for the surgeon to explain it like my girlfriend did. In one sentence. Okay, two, maybe three. 😛

---- They see T4d on a mri, but the lab results are always more nuanced.
Those lab results say; conclusion T3/T4. So it doesn't come from the lab results that T4d. From the biopsies they see an adenocarcinoma.
---- Brief explanation of the website ThinkPink:
A malignant tumor of a gland also becomes a adenocarcinoma termed. As good as all breast cancers are adenocarcinomas. “Adenocarcinoma” is often used as a synonym for both ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma.

Whether a black cloud drifted above my head. Suddenly there was peace in my little ball. Stayed ridiculously bad news, but inside all that bad, equally good news. Then the last appointments for the chenezing could begin.
Monday July 5th blood to, as oncologist said nicely, to start from a 0 point.
Tuesday 6 July he called about the results of the blood. And he said it almost proudly and even 2x in that conversation: 'Mrs De Vries, the values of your blood result are so beautiful. Perfect just.’
I had to smile about it and was grateful to him for his enthusiasm. Also grateful for my body, who does her stinky best to make me heal. Nothing is certain, but the terms start off well.

Of course I read something here and there, and come to the Kanker.nl website, where my hospital's patient leaflets referred to. To my great shock, I came to an article, where it said that the drug I was going to use for Chenezing could cause hearing damage.
Hearing Damage?
I can't miss a decibel of my already not great hearing. So when I had to go do some blood prick a visit to the Oncology Department. The nurse would convey my question and slight panic to the oncologist.
In the same conversation about the blood results, he explained to me that in all his years as a specialist, he has not encountered this problem yet.

'In addition, 'he said, 'I can't make any concessions. healing van jouw kanker is belangrijker dan decibelverlies. I don't want you to die and you need this therapy for a good recovery.’
Well, that's clearly spoken and it reassured me that he had no experience with it. And yes, I also want to recover 100% and if that would cost me a few decibels, so be it. But that's just not going to happen. Hup, Ears, Hup !!

Thursday 8th July , an appointment with the cardiologist. ECG and Echo. At the ECG, they put a lot of things on your body and I saw a beautiful heart rate line appear on the image. Quiet and regular. I asked the nurse to be sure if it looks good. She confirmed. So is my blood pressure. Under these circumstances, the perfect. How did I get it done?.
Go straight to the echo. I looked along with that too and it reassured what I saw. Beautiful such a beating heart on the picture, by the way. Blood Input and Output. Input could be better, I saw that.

Borstkanker

And then the rash.
Nice cardiologist I actually have . 💝
My heart function has gone from 25% to 40-45% in 6 years (assuming the default cardiac function value of 55-60%)
I got the green light for chenezings therapy.

Another rash to go and that was the skin biopia. That was good news, too. No cancer cells found. It was an ignition, but that was already clear, because it was visible and had also put me on the wrong foot. That made me think my chest was inflamed by the job.

Friday 9th July , appointment with the oncologist nurse. Explaining what was in store for me and got a battery of medication ready at the hospital pharmacy. Including medication for nausea. That's why I was the most 'afraid' of that. That I would get sick of the chenezing.

One last nasty thing was waiting for me. Putting the radioactive marker in my lymph nodes.
Tuesday 13th July . The sweat was in my hands and was actually so horribly done with that puncture and push ing to my already sore chest. Because whoever says cancer doesn't hurt is wrong.
And two lovely people who took care of me and took my anxiety very seriously. The radiologist assured me that he was not going to hurt me, and that I was going to give him right afterwards.
And that's what I did. It didn't hurt. The hand of the nurse, whom she lovingly offered, was shrinking
From that moment on, I would beep at safety gates, like Schiphol, for example.
Received a letter explaining why I beep. Especially such a letter.
Forgot to ask if I kept squealing for the rest of my life now.

And then. await . nothing for a few days.
Relax and prepare for Tuesday 20th July.
