Journal entry by Leslie Rienzie-Barry —
I have Stage 1, grade 3, inductal invasive carcinoma, it’s triple negative. I have surgery on Thursday at 6:30. I will be there for 6/7 hours. On the 17th, this Tuesday, I meet with the oncologist to discuss treatment. Based on what I have been told, I will have a chemo, called ACT. I will have 4 treatments of this every two weeks. After the chemo, I will have radiation, 12 times. That’s everyday. The size of the tumor is 9mm x 7mm. This is small. It’s not on the breast wall, nor on the nipple. That’s good. It is a grade 3, which means, fast growing. The triple negative means they treat it aggressively. Love you All
