Done with chemo/Now in hospital
Had ct scan this am. No fluid in chest. Pain is actually from 2 emboli (blood clots). So I came home, and got a phone call about an hour after from the on call oncologist. I never met this one and I think he thought I was trying to get out of coming in when I asked how long I had to be here. He explained it was life…

Are Your Legs Tired? Aching Perhaps? Mine Are..lol I Did My 2nd Relay For Life!
Yep I did! For those of you that don't remember, I did my first Relay For Life in 2010. I was scared to do it, as, I was afraid it would drag up a bunch of bad memories and I thought, for some reason, that it might be depressing. Go figure! It was the most enlightening experience I've ever had! Well, not ever had, but, it…

sentinal node questions
I get the whole purpose and basic procedure for the sentinal node sampling. My question has to do with the injection itself. My sister told me (2 years ago after her injection) that it was the most painful experience she has ever had---worse than childbirth with no epidural! Was her experience unique? I am scared to death.…

I hate living with one breast!

Path report not what I was hoping for
Hi! Just came from the hospital. The news is that they've found 2 tumors of different types. One is IDC (invasive ductal carcinoma), that one was seen on us and was biopsied to get a diagnosis. The other one is ILC (lobular invasive carcinoma) and the doctors had no clue it was there. If I haven't opted for mastectomy, it…
