I’m sitting in Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada this morning waiting for my flight to Indianapolis. I’ve spent the last several days on a trip with girlfriends. It has been practically perfect.
As I re-enter reality, I have 3 trips to Barnes in the next 4 weeks – not an especially pleasant reality. My next 4 weeks includes: treatments 79 and 80, a brain MRI and neurology appointment, a bone scan, a chest/ab/pelvic Ct scan, and an appointment with my breast cancer oncologist. Hopefully I will find out my license to live is being renewed for another 3 months.
Tune in on social media to watch the premiere of My Density Matters’ BREAST TOOLS Talk Show. I was originally scheduled to appear but a winter storm kept me home and off the roads. I am working diligently to inform women of the importance of knowing their breast density and the additional screening necessary for women with dense breast tissue. Please help me.
I wish I did not have Stage IV breast cancer. I wish my next 4 weeks was not filled with medical appointments and procedures. I wish I wasn’t living my life in 3 month chunks, from scan to scan. I wish I wasn’t living with the side effects of cancer including pain every day. I cannot change my story but, by spreading information about breast density, I might be able to change yours.
I am not in control.
