Second Round of Scans!

Cancer update 9/3:

On June 4th I had my first CT scan. It revealed an “Extensive irregular masslike thickening approximately 7cm in size” aka huge tumor in my right breast. It also showed “Additional significant right axillary lymphadenopathy” (lymph node involvement) and “Numerous BILATERAL pulmonary parenchymal nodules concerning for additional pulmonary metastatic involvement” (spread to my lungs, confirmed with lung biopsy).

And I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and put on palliative care.

Well that wasn’t good enough for me.

On September 3rd, after 8 rounds of chemo and lots of work doing extra holistic support including essiac tea 3x/day, high dose vitamin C IV drips 2/week, acupuncture 2/week, red light therapy, regular exercise, clean diet, apricot seeds, lots of water and lots of supplements… i had a follow up scan.

Breast Tumor:

- Interval resolution of dominant large area of masslike nodular thickening along superior right breast and right axillary lymphadenopathy since CT from 06/04/2025. “Interval resolution:” This is a very positive finding. It means that an abnormality seen on a prior scan has since cleared up, shrunk significantly, or disappeared.

Lymph Nodes:

- No evidence of enlarged or abnormal lymph nodes in the chest or armpits, and some small lymph nodes in the right armpit have shrunk since a previous exam.

Lungs:

- There has been interval resolution of necrotic dominant mass lesion and surrounding asymmetric nodular enhancing tissue previously noted. No new or enlarging nodules. Again, interval resolution: This is a very good sign, as it indicates the previouslly noted nodules are dissolving! And necrotic means “death of cells or disease”

Overall summary:

The scan shows MAJOR improvement compared to June— breast mass, swollen lymph nodes, and lung spots have all resolved or significantly shrunk.

“No new cancer or concerning issues were found in the chest, abdomen, pelvis, or bones.”

HOLY CRAP YALL IT’S ALMOST ALL GONE

I meet with my oncologist on Friday for next steps.

Thank you all so much for your pryers and healing thoughs! They’re working!! We’re not out of the woods yet but this is a HUGE jump in the right direction!!
