Oncotype DX score & my decision...

Hi lovely sisters – Ok, here we go. Monday I have a sonogram of my entire abdominal area (including liver).

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…

OT- Hubby just asked how to make mashed potatoes
And I'm silently chuckling to myself - how can you not be able to tell when the potato is done? Now, I'm sure we'll be having mashed potatoes on a regular basis - he's retired, you know! Tee hee, Sue

Herceptin: Did anyone ever have to discontinue this treatment?
I was on Herceptin for six months. I was supposed to continue it for one year. After my muga scan last Tuesday, it showed my heart function has decreased considerably and I have to stop this treatment for the time being. I see my oncologist on Tuesday for further details. Has anyone ever had to stop their Herceptin…

I have estrogen negative receptors so I can't take…

What do you do for scar tissue?
I have some scar tissue from my lumpectomy and rads and my oncologist said he could set me up with a PT to massage it and it would really help. I massage it myself every now and then, but, it is still there. Anyone else go to a PT for this and did it help? Thanks, Leeza

I feel so fortunate to have survived this dreadful disease…

Hello, all pink sisters, Well went for my blood work on Monday and it is not good. The nurse said it should be in the 2000 range and mine was only 300. So I was advised to stay away from crowds people and any one sick. So I guess that means that I pretty much stay at home.Thank GOD I am a computer junkie!!!! LOL I go back…
