Hi, I'm Jennifer
On May 23,2019 I was officially diagnosed with Stage 1A Her2 Positive Invasive Ducal Carcinoma; Breast Cancer . The cancer was found early enough to be contained within the breast with no spread but the left breast was also showing the start of abnormal calcification's.
My cancer care plan involves 6 cycles of chemotherapy with three week recovery in between each cycle, a double mastectomy is planned after the 6th chemo and then radiation.
The first chemo cycle was June 26th and by July I had lost all my hair. Despite all this I'm always in good spirits and trying my best to put a brave face on for my three sons.
I do continue to work during my treatment, but chemo is taking a huge toll on my body. Unfortunately, I do have to take a full week off from work every time to combat the side effects and the loss of income has become a struggle.
