Writings of a teachermom, choosing to stay home with her kids, while loathing all domestic responsibilities! In late Aug. 2008, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer. After surgery, chemo and radiation, I was given theall clear. However, in the late summer of 2008, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which metasticized to other areas.
Looks like I won't be having the BBBD therapy. The doctor said he wouldn't do it if there wasn't improvement. Well, the MRI showed that the cancer is worse in the spine. Now we need to look at some different chemo. The good news is that there is no new cancer in the brain.

Today I am back to the hospital. They're going to do the Blood Brain Barrier Disruption. I'll be at the University of Minnesota for about 3 days if all goes well.

I got the results from my MRI back. The results show worsening cancer in my spine. Doctor Hunt, who does the Blood Brain Barrier Disruption, allowing chemo to get into the brain and spine, isn't really sure that's a good idea anymore. But we're convincing him to try at least one more time. What other choice do I have? Just do nothing? That's not an option I'm going to take right now.
