Past the blood tests today so I am ready for Round 2 of chemo Tuesday afternoon. Also found out I have Factor V Heterozygous. What is this exactly? Good question!! This is the reason for blood clots developing post surgery; it is a gene mutation. The Mayo Clinic defines it as "a common inherited genetic disorder that can increase your chance of developing abnormal blood clots (thrombophilia), usually in your veins." (Mayo Clinic, 2012). Basically it means I am more likely to develop blood clots than the average person. I have been referred to University of Saskatchewan for genetic counselling...but....there is a two year waiting list - lol!! Dr. Kakumanu's solace was that I would at least be in the database.
Today we also talked about probability and statistics of reocurance......with the combined therapies (surgery, AC and Taxol chemotherapy and Tamoxifin) there is a less than 10% chance of breast cancer reoccurrence. Even if there is a reoccurrence, it is not a death sentence. Basically this is good news although I personally would like to see that percent a lot lower. The doc actually smiled when I asked him what I have to do to lower the chance of reoccurrence....he said I am doing it.
As for weight gain/loss...well, I showed a gain of 0.3 kg. Not bad considering I was wearing those prosthesis and I am sure they weigh about 5+ pounds!! The nurse had a laugh when I told her that! She agreed that these things are heavier than winter boots!!
Well Bob's plane should be arriving shortly from Ottawa...love to all! Shelley
Good luck today Auntie Shelley! Love the Wilson chicks...

LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY
ReplyDeleteThank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you at
