A week ago I received a call from my oncologist.
Well let me start at the beginning. Two weeks ago I received a call from my Oncologist. The call was sugar and spice and all things champagne. My Oncoytpe score had come back low. I wasn't going to need Chemo!!! And I'll throw in a few more for dramatic effect !!!!!!. Huge relief, Elaine dance and the aforementioned bubbly.
Last week's call: Slugs and snails and Doberman/Pitbull tails.
Turns out I do need Chemo after all.
I'm not going to go into the long story of why. Just to say that I have a brilliant Oncologist and Pathologist and when they say jump, I say:"Shave it off Fredrik."
This blog will be my Chemo journey. I'm hoping I'll handle it with humor, grace and Wonder Woman strength. I'm hoping to vomit like a super model: no splatter, just pretty little chunks of apple eaten 2 days ago. I'm hoping to be white like Amanda Seyfried, not Casper. I'm hoping to carry off bald ala Natalie Portman rather than Telly Savalas. But if I have moments of pity, loathing, depression and Niagara Falls, so be it. It's Chemo biyatches, not a beach vacation in Miami.
