Struggling
It has been rather difficult to read some of the post on this board, in particular some of the people over the 6 -12 months who have gotten mets and some who have passed away. I have been trying for a few months to stick my head in the sand and believe all is well and hunky with myself, in some way that is true however I…

Oncologist visit
I saw my onc this am and he pronounced me stable. My markers are virtually unchanged and he is satisfied, so I am too. Best news is that I don't have to see him for 3 months. :-) That makes me a total of 3 years since metastasis and 25 years since original diagnosis.

Ned is on my dance floor now
I suspected that I probably was NED status already. But just to be sure when I went into see the surgeon after my baseline bilateral mamogram for discussion of the film I asked him if I was of NED status.

6 days after 3rd chemo and still feel like crap
I am so stinking sick of feeling like this! Does anyone else have severe stomach pain that won't go away with the meds? The Oncologist said to experiment with Zophran, Compazine, Pepcid AC and Tylenol to see which works best. I took all of them on Monday at different times and came home early from work to writhe on the…

I am confused
I saw my Onc. today and she was disappointed that the chemo did not get all of the cancer. (Triple negative)but was glad that surgery went well and lympnodes were clear. She has said on more than one occassion that I have had "all the chemo she can give me" so does this mean that if I have a reoccurrence there would be…

I still had some cells left until she got rid of them with surgery! I am so relieved to get that news, however like so many there is a part of me that is petrified it will show up somewhere…

Trip to Sloan Kettering
Hi Dear Pink Ladies Not sure if I posted about this all important appointment to Sloan Kettering. SO here's what I was told. The doctor still believes that the wait and watch approach is the best move for now. He said that the largest of the nodules are 8mm and 9mm but still under the size of 1cm. A biopsy is easier when…
