God is good
I just wanted to write about my experience. I am 37 years old, and 10 months ago had a mastectomy with TRAMM flap reconstruction. First was chemo, then the surgery, then radiation. I was out of work about a year. Anyway, my point is, I feel back to my normal self. My hair is growing back so curly, my color is back to…
Chemo question
I was diagnosed with stage IIA, grade 3 breast cancer in Dec 05. Jan 06 had mastectomy with tram reconstruction. Negative in lymphnodes. In March I started chemo, my oncologist recommended a six treatment program. My first two treatments went fairly well. The third treatment was very tough on my body. When I returned for…
I'm Scared
Next Tuesday, I'm having core biopsy using ultrasound for a dense tissue mass in right breast. The surgeon yesterday upon exam said the mass moves around freely, which is a good sign? Women I've shared this with have said that they all know others who have had biopsies with no cancer diagnosis. I'm just now going on with…
Worry
I am a 1 1/2 year survivor of Inflamatory breast cancer. I have been reading the postings here since I was diagnosed but have rarely participated in the discussion. The postings have really helped me through all of this. I was diagnosed in Oct. 2004, had 4 rounds of taxotere/adriamycin/cytoxin, then a left radical…
From the colorectal board...use it if you want...
There was a couple who used to go England to shop in a beautiful antique store. This trip was to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery, especially teacups. Spotting an exceptional cup, they asked "May we see that? We've never seen a cup quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it to…

Has anyone been diagnosed with this? uscmom63
In today's paper "New drug promising for cancer Patients"
There is a new drug (of course, not approved for America yet) that will work with Xeloda that is called Tykerb. A backup for Herceptin or possible replacement for women who can't take it... THIS IS WAY COOL!!!!! Hugs, Kathi
Dental Problems and Arimidex?
Hi, I've been taking arimidex for close to a year, and it seems like all of a sudden (last couple of months) I'm having lots of dental problems - broken tooth, lost a filling, cracked a tooth, now I'm having pain when chewing - who knows what else they'll find. Is there any relationship with the bone loss from arimidex and…
Clinical trial for Pre menopausal Women who are ER+, PR+ to compare tamoxifen with ovarian function
I am contemplating entering a clinical trial to compare ovarian function suppression (by triptorelin, oophorectomy, or ovarian irradiation) in combination with tamoxifen vs ovarian function suppression in combination with exemestane vs tamoxifen alone in patients with endocrine-responsive breast cancer in treating…
Hematoma after 2nd lumpectomy
Hello everyone, I am just looking for a little guidance. I have had a second lumpectomy which paid off to be the right choice. All my doctors and reports say now they have gotten all the cancer with clear margins. I am happy about this news. I know I still have a long recovery and treatment ahead of me but it is still the…

I was on top of the world today. I had my first annual mammogram... after beating the beast. It was perfect.... Thank goodness the place I go to read it immediately for me.... I don't think I could have waited for 1 or 2 days for results... I managed not to go nuts before it .... but when I was sitting there waiting for…
