Home :-)
My wbc jumped from 0.8 yesterday to 2.9 today! My 48 hr cultures are negative so far. Feeling a little stronger and finally beginning to move, but very weak. My mouth is a crying shame : terrible thrush and too many mouth ulcers to count. Oncologist said I really need to work on it. I am doing the baking soda /salt rinses…

Has anyone had a falling problem with femara
I have taken two nasty falls and have called the onco and my pcp got told it not the meds. Right the PCP is having me take every other day to see if my falling problem stops so far so good. The onco is going to get changed because I cant speak with her dirextly and her nurses seem not to care they blame other things.

Clinical Trials
I was told by a Breast Cancer Nurse Advocate that I may be illegible for a clinical trial where I would not receive Chemo and they would monitor me closely for ten yrs. That would mean I would only take the Anti-Hormone Therapy that I would have done before finding two cancerous Sentinel Nodes. I love the Idea but scared…

Latest update on my friend
He saw his urologist yesterday. He was told that the cancer was "very minor" (a new phrase for me about cancer). They are going to wait and watch him for about 6 months. The problem seems to be that his prostrate is so enlarged there is nothing they can do right now. He was given some meds to take with the hope they will…

Neck pain UPDATE
I have pain in the left side of my neck. It feels kind of like a really bad cramp that won't let go. It seems to be making my ear ache and it hurts when I swallow but doesn't obstruct my swallowing. I think it is centered around the tube in my neck for the port. I first noticed the pain on April 16th when I got my first…

Anyone else ever take herceptin, perjeta and docetaxel?
I did well with my chemo on Thursday, but then, starting Sunday, I began to feel really cruddy: Flu-like, nausea, diarrhea, extreme weakness, achiness. Hoping this post chemo crud gets better soon. But I am up and whining tonight, so maybe I am getting better? Has anyone else had these problems and, if so, do you have any…

OT - What is your most memorable Mother's Day?
For me, it was 1991! Hubby was deployed to Desert Storm and the Boys and I went back to my hometown. While there, the Boys got involved with BMX racing. On Mother's Day, they had a Mom's Race. You were supposed to ride your child's bike - don't remember how Sons decided which of their bikes I'd ride. Well, I was the only…

You should make sure your level is clearly above 30 ng/ml, at a minimum. Consensus among researchers suggest being 40 to 60 ng/l one scientific presentation here:…
