A few words about this blog...

On February 27th I was diagnosed with breast cancer (invasive ductual carcinoma to be exact). I will be using this blog to provide updates on my treatment. I am getting treatment in California rather than London, so I am affectionately calling this relocation my “cancer-cation” (you know the stay-cation and vacation…but I will be on cancer-cation here in LA/SB for the next 6 months or so)! I am grateful to all of my friends and family who are joining me on this journey.

My incredible shrinking tumors...(click here)

Hello Friends,

I wanted to share a bit of GOOD NEWS! I went in for an MRI on Monday so that they could see how well my tumors are responding to the chemo and....It looks like I am having a great response!  My oncologist is very happy with the results and says that it is possible that my tumors may completely disappear by the time I go in for surgery (yes, even if it all disappears, I will still have to have surgery).  But the responsiveness of my tumors to the chemo is very encouraging news!  I go in to see Dr. Kass on Friday so that we can review the images together.  Then, I head over to have a consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Grafton. Hopefully, we can set a tentative date for my surgery.

Everything else is going fine. I am feeling pretty good this week. Santa Barbara is warm and lovely.  I had two wonderful friends visit - first Adrianna and then later in the week Eric. They both brought lots of smiles to my face!

My next chemo (chemo 5) is one week from today...Thank you everyone for all of your love and support - it has undoubtedly played a role in my tumor shrinkage (I bet you have never been thanked for that before)!
