Breast Cancer Diagnosis
It was in October 2019 when I realized that something was wrong. I told my mother that I could feel a lump in my left breast. We consulted a doctor who prescribed some tests. The mammography results came back positive for Breast Cancer. I also did a sonography in which the doctors doubted that there was something wrong in the pancreas, which could be a TB patch or a normal cyst. I was advised to go for a CT scan and MRI, but we still could not find exactly what it was. So I was then suggested to go for a PET scan. From the PET scan results, the doctors concluded that the cancer had also affected my pancreatic tail and spleen.
Breast Cancer Treatment
I underwent surgery, and my surgical oncologist told me that it would take 20 days to get discharged from the hospital since it was a major Surgery. But I was home on the 8th day and was able to walk too.
I was then advised for six Chemotherapy sessions. I celebrated every Chemotherapy session; just before one day of my chemotherapy, I used to go to the hotel and enjoy it there. After completing six Chemotherapy sessions, I underwent Radiation therapy in May. I have completed my treatment, had my PET scan two months ago, and everything is going well now.
I was always positive and motivated. I did Reiki during my treatment, which helped me a lot. I also did pranayama and deep breathing. I was on a high protein diet. I ate pulses, legumes, green vegetables, multigrain flour chapati, curd, avoided sugar, took eggs, and fish. I used to take Wheatgrass juice early in the morning. I had many mood swings, I used to get irritated quickly, but my family supported me immensely. I saw a lot of movies and listened to and sang songs. I kept myself busy doing the things I love.
