Triple negative cancer

Dan and I saw my Surgeon on Monday morning. We talked to her about some of our concerns about not starting radiation until early Dec. She said that we should go straight to the radiation oncology department down stairs and she would call them as soon as I left her office. She let them know that Dec was to long of a wait that I was ready now. We talked over the pathology reports that confirmed that indeed this was the same breast cancer I had last year. It is a very resilient kind called a triple negative.
Thank you Dr Dayton. She has truly been a advocate for me (and my girls)

I am going to have back to back appointments on Monday the 7th. The first one at 8 am is to get my mock up and 3 little tattoos kind of like survey markers for the machine to know just where to aim all the rads at.
Second will be a CT Scan  ( my 4th in 3 weeks )

This is the breast cancer that I have triple negative. If you want to know more about it, here is a good link to it
