Tests are Clear!
Hey Guys and Gals, Just to let you know that my pre-surgery tests are clear! One victory down, 2 more to go. Hugs, Jennifer
Discouraging News
Dear Frinds, I got the pathology report from the tumor that was taken out during my quadrantectomy. The news is discouraging, after being originally diagnosed with DCIS, the doctors have now realized that 5% of my lession consisted of invasive ductal carcinoma. I will have to have a lymph node biopsy on the 20th of this…
I need help with a book (m)
Hello, my name is Heather Head and I am not a cancer victim, but my heart goes out to all of you who are struggling with this disease. I'm posting to request your help. I am writing web copy for a group that is going to be publishing an inspirational book of true cancer survivor stories. Right now, they are soliciting…
I can't handle this
My husband of 30 years was diagnosed with liver cancer in April. It is very far progressed. He has had a chemo infusion at UCLA & a chemo embolization at University of Penn. He may have another embolization if the first one did him any good. He is all over the place emotionally. He is paranoid, he flares, he doesn't…
In a better place
Yesterday morning at around 7:00am (EST) my mother passed. After a long battle with cancer...she is now in a better place. I want to thank everybody who helped me with your support through the last 7 months. No, this is not a goodbye. I will still be a part of this fine group. God bless, Ed Sutton
Done with surgery!

Diagnosed at 25 as well, looking for other young people
Hello, I replied to Jennifer's message underneath this one, but thought I would post my own as well. I was also diagnosed at 25, but recently had a 26th birthday. The main problem that I am having is dealing with cancer at such a young age. I am not sure what the correct etiquette is when telling people that I have this…
Diagnosed at 25
Hi, my name is jennifer and I am a 25 yr old legislative advisor for the PR Senate and part-time law student for whom the thought of having breast cancer was a distant one despite a very strong family history. I was diagnosed on July 24th and am having a partial mastectomy on August 5th and radiation to treat a ductal…
Check up!
Hi all: Just wanted to share with you that I just "passed" my three month check up and got a clean bill of health. I finished my chemo in late Jan. 2002 and my raditaion in late March 2002. I haven't been to my onclogist's office in three months and it was HARD going back seeing the people/patient in various stages of…
