First, found suspicious lump, scheduled ultrasound. After ultrasound, immediate mammogram. Scheduled core needle biopsy immediately.

Biopsy done in two places, three suspicious masses. Diagnosed with Triple Positive Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (TPIDCS - Breast Cancer)

Second, met with (first) oncologist, scheduled surgery for port placement. Surgery success!

Third, first cycle of TCHP (1 chemo treatment every 21 days for a total of 6 treatments). Severe reactions to the chemotherapy resulting in extreme illness, and a hospital stay. From 127lbs to 115lbs.

Third A, second cycle of TCHP ; slightly better, though drastic hair loss to the point of near baldness. From 127lbs (gained it back last week of first cycle!) to 114lbs.

Third B, third cycle of TCHP ; bad, severe dehydration and depression, complete hair loss and postponing cycle four by four days due to low platelets. From 114lbs to 108lbs.

Third C, fourth cycle of TCHP ; currently in session, magnesium was a little low but platelets rebounded, so moving on as scheduled!

Lots of positivity, emotional support, and just cute pictures or memes very welcome as we move forward!
