Today

is another Monday and glad to have them.  I feel better this morning, more like I accomplished some things yesterday and took some pressure off to do more for the holidays.  I came across a blog last night by Jennifer Griffin who is a report for Fox TV.  She was diagnosed with tnbc (triple negtive breast cancer) at age 40 last year and she blogged about it including chemo, surgery, radiation, and how she managed otherwise, and the continued education on tnbc.  She also talked alot about exercise and diet and low glycemic index, etc.  Time for me to take a more serious look at my food.  I am also wondering if I would have had the tnbc diagnosis in June if Dr. Z would have discussed a bi-lateral mastectomy more.......and wonder why it isn't being discussed even now.  Why go through reduction and reconstruction if removal and reconstruction is the more sound treatment option.  It will be a discussion I have Friday with her since I see her then, and have my clinical trial unblinded. 

Lots of information and it really isn't over, just will be changing direction.   But, I will be okay - I am back to that feeling again and I appreciate it lots.
