Cancer on the mind
Seems like cancer is constantly on my mind. Wish I could get away from that. Now that I just had a have another biopsy on the same breast makes it hard. I have been told that it is more than likely scarring of the tissue around the lumpectomy. I am trying to be positive though. Now it is the waiting game again and just for…

I am feeling sad tonight.
I am feeling sad and a little helpless tonight. The friend I posted about recently lost her husband in the early morning hours today. He had the most aggressive form of brain cancer and passed within 6 months of being dx'd. This d*** cancer knows no bounds. He did have determination even to the end. He told her that he…

Long afternoon but worth it!
Had #3 whole brain radiation and saw my regular RO today. Poor guy, I had a typed list of questions and points I wanted to discuss and he went over all of it with me. He feels that I have many options but will probably need gamma or cyber knife after whole brain rads. We will evaluate with a 4 week MRI after rads done. He…

Results of PET/CT Scan
are disturbing. I haven't talked with my MO yet, but I picked up the report so I could be ready for her call. Not so sure I am ready. Anyway, mets to the lungs cannot be ruled out. The report says "consider histological correlation of the larger right lower lobe nodule which is quite peripheral." It says that the there are…

Maybe we need more than one bus today!
I am having a total body bone scan today due to pain I have had in 2 vertebrae over the last 2 weeks. My onc. has a 2-week rule--whatever hurts, etc. for over 2 weeks has to be investigated. This is very scary for me as I was diagnosed at Stage 3 a little over 2 years ago. Never thought I'd be praying for herniated discs!…

But I am having some (1-1 1/2) inch swelling in my upper arm on the side lymph nodes were removed a little over a year ago. The physical therapist I am seeing to try to get the…

After Chemo Issues, need advice
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas with friends and family. My side effects became so bad I was unable to have my final Taxotare/Cytoxan infusion in early December. Drat it all, right? My last infusion was Nov. 7th. But I was able to join in the celebration rather than be bedridden. A PET scan came back clean, yipeeeee.…

Well, this morning as we were all dressed and almost ready to leave the house, I remembered to take my morning meds - I had forgotten yesterday. So, yay! I took them.

The gift that keeps on giving (Worry anyway)
This sassa-frassa-rassin disease. I went in for my baseline mammo on the lumpectomy breast, and what should show up but micro-calcifications. I was so sure I was done with bc. Dagnappit! Truth be known I still could be done with bc. According to the surgeon some micro-calcifications are just a part of scar tissue. But some…
