Emotional
Was having severe depression and posted here about two months ago. I got some good advice and have since been put on Effexor and Xanax. This helped but for the last two or three days I seem to have slipped backwards. Everyone tells me I have been through alot with the cancer treatment and surgery and just to give it time.…

It's gonna be a very long weekend :(
Just spoke with my nurse at the onc. office. They got the reports on my bone scan, 3-D imaging and CT scan. The tests showed an "abnormality which could represent metastasis" but the nurse said the onc. would probably want to do a bone biopsy. Apparently, none of the reports are definitive one way or the other.…

Question for those with bialteral mastectomy with no reconstruction
It has been ten days shy of a year from my bmx w/no reconstruction. I heard a comment that women (and men) who have mastectomies loose all feeling in their chest. I thought that only went for those that got reconstruction. I have lots of feelings coming back. Anyone else out there have feelings back in your chest area…

Xeloda and Tykerb
In July, 2009 a tumor on the left breast was discovered by me to be cancer Stage IIb, HER-2, 2/7 lymph nodes positive. Previous on time mammograms showed nothing. After removing by lumpectomy, I got an infection which required home health care everyday for 5 months. By fall, Herceptin was started and in the winter two…

I am feeling sad and a little helpless tonight. The friend I posted about recently lost her husband in the early morning hours today. He had the most aggressive form of brain cancer and passed within 6 months of being dx'd. This d*** cancer knows no bounds. He did have determination even to the end. He told her that he…

One test turned into 3--now I'm really scared
Yesterday I had my nuclear bone scan for the pain I've been experiencing in one of my vertebra. After the scan, the tech showed me a very dramatically lit-up spot right on the vertebra causing the pain. He said the radiologist wanted him to do some 3-D images of that area which would take about 30 more minutes. After those…
