Needless to say I'm not looking forward to it. At first, I was kind of mad that they missed it the first time, but now I've come to the point that I just want to get it over with. I think the babe should be ok. I'll be in the fifth month by my surgery so they said it should't be affected. I'm still kind of worried but I've been trying not to think about it.
I met with my oncologist and she seems nice. I start chemo October 5th. I get a month off for the babe to be born and then I need more treatments after that. I found out too that although my treatments should be finished by May at the latest, I'll have to take special medicine for five years after! The only thing that sucks about that is that you can't have kids while you are taking it, so we're going to be a one-child family for a while.
On the plus side, we went to Jasper this past weekend. It was nice to get away and see the sites. The weather was great and we had a lot of fun. It is definitely harder hiking when you're pregnant though!

I am sorry to hear that you have to have another surgery. But I am glad that they caught it. I have faith that the baby will be strong like it's mom and dad, and that as a family your bond will be unbreakable.
On a side note, my mom had breast cancer, and took the meds for 5 years. Granted, she already had kids and two granddaughters to boot, but in the long run it will all be worth it.
We are with you Sifu. We are never far, and always ready to lend a hand with whatever you guys need.

Keep doing your research Sifu, like you said, make sure what you do is right for you. And that includes all the treatments! I'm sorry to hear what you're going through--I hope and pray only the best for you and your baby:)
I'm happy to hear about your baby, but sorry to hear about your breast cancer and it's challenges. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Do your research and listen to your gut regarding both diagnosis and treatments. Be a bulldog. Something for you to check out is adding dietary iodine either via iodine or via seaweed to help with chemo side effects as well as treatment efficiency. My friend, Nutrition Masters and breast cancer survivor, researched and incorporated it with her treatment with fantastic results.
As the others have said, we are a family and are here for you.
Godspeed.
Sifu,
Stay posative and trust in your faith. You have this great family at the kwoon that is here to support you and your family in any way we can.
