Patty's first radiation treatment starts today, April 12th, and will continue daily until May 26th.
Great News!!!!
No chemo needed! We couldn't have asked for a better report. All of Patty's test results indicated the absence of additional cancer in her breasts or anywhere else. The gene test shows her to be in a low risk category for future reoccurrence (8 per cent chance). She will taking Arimidex for the next five years (one pill daily) and calcium/vitamin D. Radiation treatments will begin in a week or so and will be daily for six and a half weeks. The major concern here is that her skin may burn because she is so fair skinned.
As we begin the Easter weekend, the Doublin family has a lot to be thankful for and this has certainly been a Good Friday. The Lord has blessed us with great news. Thanks go to everyone for your prayers and support. God bless each of you.
