Who got the news on April 1st?
Hi Everyone, Was just wondering how many ladies got the news on April 1st that they had breast cancer? I was told 1 year ago today. When my husband told his parents they actually thought he was playing a joke on them! I look at it this way now, one year later on April Fool's Day, "Hey Cancer, I'm STILL here!" Sending out…

Does the bottom drop out like this for anyone else here?
It seems like every time we have seen a doctor (just was diagnosed in mid January, have had lumpectomy, 1 re-excision and no other treatment yet, but have consulted with RO and MO) I feel upbeat and encouraged. I will usually come home, email my friends and family and post on my FB page a brief update. People always…

Does this make sense to any of you BC experienced folks?
Maybe I just don't get it, but here goes. All 3 doctors (surgeon, MO and RO) have agreed that if I need chemo it will come before rads (waiting on my OT DX right now). We like and feel comfortable with all 3. DH and I met the RO several weeks ago for a consultation and met the MO yesterday. Well, the RO wants us to come in…

insensitive DR
I told my nurse I was red and felt like I had a sunburn (just where I had radiation) after my 2nd radiation treatment. She said I should not feel anything yet. I said Well I do. She got my Dr and he told me there was "no way it was the radiation" that that does no start until around the 4th week. He looked at my reddish…

Question with anti-nausea drugs
I had my first chemo treatment today (A/C). I was given a anti-nausea med through my iv and a steroid(dexamethasone) to take for four days after. They also gave me two different anti nausea drugs to take if I feel nauseas . The nurse said to wait and take if I feel nausea. I have read on this site it is wiser to take them…

If you had oncotype, what was your score?
You all are going to be sorry I ever found this site with all these constant questions of mine. I was wondering what your oncotype score was, and if you had chemo or not based on that? My onco told me I'll be getting it if I fall into either the high or intermediate range, but I know others who had scores in the 20's who…
