Starting therapy and celexa.
Ok, so I have had 2 sessions with a therapist in an effort to work through my anxiety, depression and cancer and death fears that I have had since my cancer diagnosis. I don't know if she can help me because my fears are not something that can be talked away----cancer is real and death is real. But I will continue to see…

1/2 way done with chemo
Hi all Well I guess you could say I sort of hit a milestone today. I had my fourth and last round of a/c today and will start taxol and herceptin at my next visit in 2 wks. From what you all have said, the taxol/herceptin should be much easier to tolerate. Anyway, 4 down, 4 to go. I am not counting the every 3 wks for 52…

OK, I talked with a pharmacist.
Hi everyone, thanks so much for all the replies about my concerns about tamoxifen and antidepressants. I had been perscribed wellbutrin by my pcp. Then I called my onc's office and spoke to a nurse and she told me that the only ones that are ok w/tamoxifen are prozac, zoloft, lexapro and celeza. Then you guys told me that…

High count-possible hernia?
Well, I think my drs don't need any other patients...I can keep them in business with my medical issues all by myself! Now, my last 4 CA counts were high (they are suppose to be between 0-38.1). They have been: 38.1, 48.1, 40.? (I missed the number) and 47.6. On top of this, that little bulge I had below my ribcage, that I…

For all who have received a scarf or headwrap from Laurie....
Ladies, I would like to make something for Laurie. I was thinking of a collage with everyone's picture wearing their scarf, or maybe even a video of some kind, set to music. What do you all think? Would people be OK sending me pictures of themselves with the scarves on? If so, I can PM those ladies with my personal email…
