Breast Cancer messed with the wrong witch!

Phase 3 & 4 update!

This week was eventful in the treatment department. Today was my 11th taxol, 15th chemo treatment… which means 1 MORE CHEMO and I’m done! Yayyyyy!!!!

Monday I met with the radiation Dr, Dr Knoll, to discuss Phase 4.

Phase 4
I will have 33 rounds of radiation. Today I did the scanning and mapping. So I got 2 tattoos for the radiation machine and they will plan out my radiation. I will begin radiation either Nov 8th or Nov 14th which should take me to the last week of December to be finished with treatment! It was my goal to finish before 2023, to start the New Year with a new phase of life that isn’t getting treated for cancer. I’m so excited! I know these 6 weeks will be a lot but knowing the light is at the end of the tunnel gives me so much to look forward to.

When this all began I reminded myself it would fly by and I would be done before I know it. While there has been many many challenges, I’ve made it. I couldn’t have done it without the unbelievable support I’ve received from everyone. My family, my friends, all the new people I’ve met in this journey… all of you have helped me in ways I could never truly express gratitude for in words that would be meaningful enough. I’m so proud of having been strong enough to not only get through this but to share it with the world. It’s been the most meaningful part for me. Knowing that maybe somehow one of my posts resonated with someone and helped them through their own journey. There’s more to come, I’m not done sharing. I have a lot of plans for my life and one of them is giving back what’s been given to me.

Just wait. You’re gonna watch me soar.

Like a Phoenix that rises from the ashes, the Michele you’ll see and know after this will never be the same, but in the most positive way possible.
