Taxotere-Adriamycin-Cytoxan
I did one round of this combination and it tore my system apart. I could not function. Had thrush and dehydrated and had to go in twice for hydration. I have never felt so out of it. My Oncologist has now take me off of the Taxotere. Has anyone else had this combination and how did it affect you?

What is the Pink Bus?
I am new here. I have figured out the "Pink Sisters" idea; but I am not at all sure about the Pink Bus: what it is, what is its purpose . . . Maybe other newbies have the same question I do.

Great News On My Mammo! I Am Dancing With NED! YIPPEE!!!
Whew! The techs didn't say that I was dancing with NED. They actually said nothing had changed, congrats and gave me a hug. Those were the sweetest words to hear ever! So glad that is over now.

OT Lance Armstrong
I just heard on the news that Nike is terminating their contract with him and that many more will follow by the end of the month when he is stripped of his titles. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this. They also said he would probably be sued by many. Lex

OT - dogs running loose killed my cat
Dogs runnimg loose came into my yard and onto my back porch where the Grey's (two brothers that are grey cats) were sleeping and savagely attacked them. They killed my Skinny Tail and I cannot find the other one anywhere. All caught on my security video. It is a horrible thing to see and I so want to say something to the…

My little dog is really sick
I knew that my dog, Cinnamon, probably had a bladder infection again, since she seems to get them every so often now, and was going to call the vet. I was not prepared for what I saw this morning. My poor little Cinnamon, peed the bed and it smelled bad. I was not prepared for what I saw on the sheets. It was red blood. My…

Potential Rx Help for Chronic Body Pain after Chemo
I am 5 months post-chemo. Overwhelming body pain started my second chemo round in February and continued unabated until I finally saw a rheumatologist several weeks ago (it is now October). From what I understand, you can have this reaction to the chemo itself (TAC was my protocol), from Levoquin (antibiotic give for 7…

Love...sweet caring sympathy makes it all bearable somehow. Please someone reach out and give me a hug. I won't let you go for a few minutes so be warned! Sad, Kay

Fatigue and dizzy
I am 9 months out of chemo, finished Dec. 1, 2011. All of a sudden I have become very fatigued and dizzy, it is to the point that all I want to do is cry because I feel so bad. I am going to see my PA tomorrow, see if we can get some answers. Wondering if it could be anemia

Update from Alice/Abrub
I saw the surgeon today. Her comments: "Wow, I don't remember the last time I saw a hematoma that large. It looks like I stomped on your chest with a boot in the OR." I guess now she believes that I wasn't being overly dramatic yesterday when I called in a panic about the size. (My right breast looks like a gigantic purple…

Parenthood
I started this discussion in another thread....but wanted to know if anyone out there is watching Parenthood this season? They are doing an excellent story line about a character with Breast Cancer.

SO DONE
Hi to my sisters It's been a while since I posted something. I am in a funk these days...for many reasons. But there is one topic I continue to flip flop with. That is taking Arimidex. I really don't want to take this stuff. It is messing me up big time. I hate the side effects and hate that I no longer feel womanly. I am…

Do you ever feel chemo is not working?
Yesterday I saw one of the doctors at the oncologist office. I have had 3 taxol and 9 taxotere session. Then I had a 2 week break and have had one of Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide sessions. Yesterday was just a follow-up to see what side effects I was having from the Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide. It was day 7 since…

Thank you to my new friends for your support.
I'm through it and quite sore. The needle-wire localization was pretty miserable. First, the location of the masses was deep in near the chest wall, but had to be evaluated separately. Second, continued soreness from my needle-core biopsy, and the local anesthetic didn't seem to help at all (very painful). Of course, that…

Oncotype, MammaPrint, etc.
Hmm, I'm wondering if there is a way I can get one of these type of tests. I'm really very interested in just what my score would be. When I asked the oncologist about it he told me no. His reason: "Because we already know how to treat your breast cancer." He's a jerk that I just got stuck with when my doctor moved and I…
