Spoke to Sunrae
She sends her love and wants everyone to know that we are all in her daily prayers. She is taking a break from CSN because all the recent news has been difficult for her while she is trying to mend. She is still dealing with the shingles and in addition her diabetes has caused bleeding and blurred vision in one of her…
I HATE this recession~ my 90% from yesterday is only worth 70% today
So...short and not so sweet! I met with my Breast surgeon today, who looked at my PET scan and felt my obvious lump. She unfortunately did not rule out cancer ( as I was dreaming she would), but even before doing the biopsy this morning ( may I just say OUCH?!) she already knew it was malignant, and needs to have that…

missed meds
I have been on my tomoxafin and meds since end of December. Got to work today, in the snow, to remember I forgot to take them. I feel so silly but I freaked. My son brought them to me.

I start vomiting and I told my husband to take me to emergency. Make a long story short, I have pneumonia. It seem like I can't stay away from the hospital. If it not…
Some good news! My first chemo went well!
Had my first ever chemo yesterday and actually it was not bad. I am just amazed. I am a little tired today because the steroids seemed to keep me awake plus the chemo appt was so late in the day I was a bit keyed up when I got home. BUT I am awake and up and not nauseous at all and that is what I dreaded- so I am happy. It…

Another big Thank You
I received another package and i cannot tell you how beautiful the gifts are! My family is overwhelmed by your caring and generosity. They always see me on the computer "talking" to you guys, so they know how important you all are to me. I am working on the thank you cards, but there is nothing that i can say that can tell…
Test results
I didn't post before because this isn't about my breast cancer. I went in for my yearly (well I stretched it to 18 months) cystoscopy for my bladder cancer check up. It is done under light sedation in case they find anything they can remove it then. My bladder cancer was in 2002 and my tests have always been clear. Before…
Laughing at myself

Surgery this Friday, securing the pocket
I had my exchange surgery on 12/29...started driving two weeks ago and now I have hit a major road block. One of the two breasts has collapsed or fallen down into my underarm. I just found out, a few hours ago, that I will have surgery on Friday. BUMMER. Has anyone had this "securing the pocket" surgery and what can you…
I have an infection
I woke up at 2 this morning with horrible pain under my left arm. I got scared because that's the side the cancer is on. I saw my onc and he said it's infected sweat glands probably brought on by the chemo. I had horrible thoughts running through my head until I saw him this afternoon. I was terrified that the cancer was…
Meloncholey
Hi girls, I have been praying for all of my friends here who are going through rough days with this disease. My heart breaks for those who struggle and for those we have lost. I am so fortunate in that I am well and almost at five years since diagnosis. So many are not as fortunate. However, I had an apt. with my onc.…
