Greg, Mom and I Met with Oncologist - Dr. Seligman. He was so happy to tell me that my Oncotype DX Test results came back with good news. My scores were in mid-range but reflected that chemo was not needed and I would not gain any benefit from chemo- so I can move right on to Radiation Therapy.
He compares cancer to cats - some have a pussy cat and some have a tiger. I am so lucky to have the pussy cat! He is a unique man - strange but talented - spent a LOT of my appointment flirting with my mom! And I found out he has no tatoos -but his father did and so does his daughter. He likes Janice Joplin and he really likes Bob Dylans song "up north girl" but prefers Johnny Cash singing it. Said insanity skips a generation in his family. I don't need to see him again for 6 months - I told him he would miss me waiting that long and he totally agreed.
I start Radiation Therapy tomorrow morning (2/2/10). I will go everyday Monday through Friday for 6-1/2 weeks. I am only 1 mile from the Radiation clinic -so I am going to walk. I don't know what time my daily appointment will be - but tomorrow that will get set up.
After Radiation I will be on Tamoxifan for 5 years unless I go through menapouse during that time and he will change the drug. I asked how I will know when/if that happens and he told me to ask my mother!
Oh well - I am grateful for answered prayers. Amazing what happens when you REALLY give it to God. Just when I decide to follow the dr I get great news! I love life and even being reminded that I am not in charge.

Seriously- am I the only one who thought "Ewwww" when he referred to your cancer as pussy? Maybe Momma Kitty should stick around awhile- she fits right into his world of cat analogies. And did the insanity hit or miss his generation?
All kidding aside- I am more than happy that you don't have to do chemo. I love you lots and lots!
