Big talk about ovaries
Well, tomorrow is my appointment with my GYN to discuss removing my ovaries. I'm not sure if I will have a date for surgery by the time I leave or not. Hope I do. Not sure why I am nervous about it. Maybe because it will be the first appointment in my treatment that my husband will not actually be there. He will be…

MRI and Mammo Are Ordered, but my Surgeon does NOT think it's a recurrance!!!!!
My surgeon, a wonderful woman who did my original surgery and who is not "just" a surgeon but a BC specialist, does NOT suspect cancer!! She ordered an MRI and a mammogram, which I think will be done next week ( I need pre-authorization) and, as my Dr says, they will be "tests for exclusion", that is, to rule cancer OUT,…

Port and blood draw
After 2 painful experiences with the IV I finally got a port on Friday. Today I had a blood draw using the port. The nurse asked if I would like her to use the spray, so I said yes. She gave me a mask and explained that it is not good to inhale the spray. She told me to hold my blouse open and look away. She then just went…

Path Report 2
I have had 2 surgeries in one week,and feeling O.K. The lumpectomy/sentinel lymph node bx was pretty much a breeze, with little pain, but fatigue. The first 2 nodes were positive, and then this Tuesday went back for a complete lymph node dissection. Ouch.... This drain reminds me of a hockey puck! I only have 1 drain, but…

Hi Everyone!
Hi, The chemo port was inserted today, and I am not a "happy camper". My mother told me that when I woke up, I was crying hard, my surgeon was upset over it.

Estrogen positive, progesterone negative, and HER2 negative
I'm ER positive (ER+), PR negative (PR-), and HER2 negative. I've read several articles that indicate that Tamoxifen or Arimidex are less effective therapies for women with these type of tumors when compared to ER+ PR+. Does anyone else have the same? If so, what type of hormonal therapy was recommended for you? Thanks for…
