Day 1 Radiation
Hey Rosas, I had my 1 of 40 today. I really didn't feel anything. Afterwards I felt a little light headed for a little while. Nerves I'm sure were a part of it. I hope it all goes as easy as today.

I need our PINK Bus -- tomorrow, 12/14 -- UPDATE ...
I am sorry to ask .. I have my very first colonoscopy tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. -- I realize you may be busy holiday shopping, working or preparing for Christmas -- just wanted to ask for some prayers. I have been suffering for many years from consipation, so my new internal physician has scheduled a colonoscopy to get a sneak…

I took oral Xeloda for two weeks and I am now in the hospital going on 12 days for diagnosis and treatment of a serious crohn's flareup.

Been MIA. Posted new pic
It seems life flashed by since the time I spent in Hershey with pink sisters. The picture is not the best (hubby took it) but I'm the one in the middle. Many times I was unable to get on the website, but try to check in occasionally. I look at fb pink sisters more often. We were without power for 8 days starting with the…

OT: Made Traci's Chocolate-Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
Made Traci' brownies today for my Bible study group and served with (Publix) pumkin pie ice cream and they were a big hit with all the ladies! I kinda cheated as Trader Joe's is about an hour away, so I used Dunkin Hines Decadent Brownie mix and a Kroger brand Pumpkin Bread mix and they turned out great. Thanks Traci for a…

lump after radiation
I am three years out from breast cancer. I had a modified radical mastectomy on my right breast after 6 months of chemo. Then I had 33 rounds of radiation on my mastectomy sight to make sure no cells had escaped to better my chance of the cancer not returning for a very long time. Now I have a lump on my, I call collar…

Feeling off today ~~
I know I always tell other kindreds that it's perfectly normal to have a bad day but I'm 2 years this month finished with chemo and rads. I was just wondering if anyone else with this length of time still has these days. I'm sad, on the verge of tears and today it is upsetting me that I'm not stronger emotionally. I think,…

Oncotype DX score & my decision...
Hi Ladies, I had my appointment with the MO yesterday and my onco scores were 11 and 18.

The other drug pertuzumab improved survival with HER-2 Postive tumor but also hasn't received approval by the FDA Cost could…

Scared beyond words...
I posted about having an off/bad day which followed by me getting super dizzy. Well lying in hospital at 1am with 8 am surgery scheduled to take some cancer out of my brain. I am terrified. I just felt I had to purge that so I can sleep. I know I am lucky they caught it!! Not out of woods yet. Pray please!

UPDATE/RESULTS --- ****Can I have the pink bus please? Monday, Dec. 12 @ 10:30AM*****
Hi lovely sisters – Ok, here we go. Monday I have a sonogram of my entire abdominal area (including liver). I’ve had pains under my breast for a while now and it’s coming from inside, behind the ribs so I am a little nervous. My primary Dr. (because my oncology team says it’s normal) has decided to send me for a complete…

Can You Pink Sisters Come With Me On The Pink Bus And Please Say Some Prayers Too?
I've got a new lump. It is very tiny, but I am terrified that it could be the bc coming back. I haven't said anything before now, as, I was just trying to ignore it and hoping it would go away. But, it is still there, so, my oncologist has ordered a mammo and ultrasound for me this Friday. I know it is best to always get…

I am still not having much success loggin in...not sure why. Just want you all to know that although I am responding well to treatment according to my latest scans (YAY!!!!!) the side effects are doing a number on me, and even if I could log on easily, I am just not feeling so up to it!
