It's that kind of humor i really appreciate. I just had a pretty good chuckle about that.

Thank for the support though.

Right now it's just hanging out.

I did 12 months of a chemo drug called Temodar and it made what is left of the tumor dormant, so it's not active currently.

At some point down the line it's going to start acting like an asshole again and grow.

life expectancy varies. Being young and having a good reaction to the treatment I could have anywhere from 5-20 years. i met a guy who is a 19 year survivor and he had just started his temodar treatments. I guess I am kind of approaching this with the attitude of "if I make it to 40 I'm going to be the happiest 40 year old ever"!

The scar actually is barely noticable now. My hair has grown in and I haven't cut it short in over a year. You can't even tell I had my head cut open (unless you feel the area where they went in. there is a slight depression on the left side of my skull above my left eye/forehead).

All the best to your mom for her battle. There has been loads of advancements in breast cancer treatment so I hope it goes well!

thank you! It is much appreciated.

Treatment, but more aggressive. radiation, more chemo, possibly another surgery.
