Brandy’s Breast Cancer Battle

Hey, y'all. It's almost D-Day...what we call the anniversary of the day of diagnosis. February 26, 2019 was the day our world changed. I cannot believe it's been an entire year since this all started! So much has happened, so many changes, so many challenges, so many beautiful moments, as well. Today's blog will be…

Oh, my goodness, y'all...it's been months since I've written to you! The last time I blogged was just after my surgery. As a reminder, I had a double mastectomy and lymph node removal performed in September. Since then, so much as happened! After my mastectomy, because I was going to be doing radiation after, I…

Hello, friends! We are marching this thing forward!! Last Thurday, 9/12, I had a double mastectomy with lymph node removal performed. I'm currently recovering at home...impatiently waiting to feel back to normal. 😉 Resting in my recliner, binging on Netflix and Hulu all day! When this all started, we thought I would simply do a…

Chemo is over!!! It's been a while since I updated, but it's been a crazy several weeks. Since my last update, though, I finished my 12th dose of Taxol!! Yay!! We made it, y'all. 🙂 I felt like I was handling Taxol pretty well, as I made my way through it. It was a cake…

Wow...I didn't realize it has been a month since my last update. I'm still here! Life has been busy...weekly chemo, summer activities, and we even squeezed in a quick trip to Branson. I've been doing my Taxol every Friday afternoon, so we've been rocking and rolling! I just had my 7th Taxol infusion on Friday,…

Sooooooo...last week I had my first round of Taxol. (I previously completed four treatments of AC, and have now moved on to 12 weekly doses of Taxol.) Y'all...I cannot fully describe how much better this treatment went! It went so well! Additionally, we got an update on my tumor and lymph nodes. More to come…

We made it through round 4 of the AC treatments! Those awful days are now behind us. Praise Jesus! The doctors told us, and I read over and over, that with each treatment, recovery would take a little longer. And new side effects would present themselves each time. Ding-Ding-Ding They were right on the money.…

I normally write an update a few days after treatment, because all is well in the world again and Mary Poppins is singing in the air. Well, whatever...that wasn't the case this time. Round 3 was tougher. But it's to be expected...we were told that each round takes a little more to recover each time.…

Hey friends! It's been a few days since I've updated everyone on how things are going. I've had numerous texts, calls, message asking how I was doing this first full week after treatment. Everyone has such different reactions to chemotherapy, you never know how it's going to go. Well, I'm happy to report that I've…
