Help Emma recover from breast cancer 🙏

  • Treatment is almost done!

    Previously on Emma's cancer journey, I had a revision surgery and that went super well. Even managed to get back into some aerials pretty quick after!

    Since then I started and finished radiation, which for me (besides going to the hospital every day) wasn't too bad though side effects could occur really anytime.

    Really the only thing that is left for me now is to finish up my last five immunotherapy infusions and hopefully my body thinks this will be the last of cancer for me.

    Thank you everyone for all of your support. I still have a ways to go to heal from this ongoing experience, but will likely be a very sparse poster (sorry about that).

    Wishing you all the best,

    Emma

    Hey everyone!

    If you remember my last post I said something about PCR (pathological complete response) being the best outcome from surgery, well I got it! The chemo did the thing and killed the tumour! There was a smaller and different one in the tumour bed which was excised in full as well so technically I am cancer free! Unfortunately, the margins (section of healthy tissue around the excised site of this other tumour) was inferior in places so they do have to go in again and remove 1mm of tissue in those areas. If you don’t understand, totally cool it is hard to grasp parts of the treatment. This additional surgery is more or less an extra step to make sure cancer won’t come back. All of the next steps are working in this favour.

    I still have a ways to go before I am done with being a regular at the hospital. One surgery (this Thursday), nine more immunotherapy infusions and a course of yet to be determined radiation ☢️

    I am so grateful for everyone who has supported my partner, my family and me. It means the world.

    But this post I get to say I am cancer free, which is amazing.

    Bit of a throw back to before treatment started.

  • A lil' update

    Hey everyone thank you all for your support we treasure it so much. There are no words to express the love I have for everyone who has donated or reached out.

    In terms of where I am at, well I had surgery on Monday. Everything is healing well I think, though I do miss being able to use my right arm for everything.

    We have a short waiting game, about three weeks, until we find out how effective chemo was. Radiologically, the MRI showed some great results and we are hopeful the pathology shows the same response.

    That is all for now, I will update again in a few weeks.

    All the love,

    Emma

  • Moving on to phase two of treatment!

    Thank you to everyone who has donated, it means the world to us to have support from so many of our friends and family. I don’t think I can thank anyone enough.

    Today is my (hopefully) my final day of TCHP chemo, and I am very excited to say goodbye to docetaxel and carboplatin. While I am grateful they appear to have decimated my tumour, saying goodbye to the fatigue and other side effects is very welcome. I cannot wait to try get back into all things aerial as soon as I can!

    The next steps after this will be surgery in February. Hopefully the findings from this will be a pathological complete response (PCR) which means I can just go on with the immunotherapy every three weeks until October bringing me to the end of the year long treatment.

    Sorry to all the people I haven’t responded to yet, I will get back to all you soon!
