I don't know if I ever formally introduced myself. I think I just started throwing my two-cents around. My name is Judy and I'm from Texas. I have/had metaplastic, triple-negative breast cancer. I had a mastectomy on the right side, chemo, and radiation.

I finished everyting in mid-March. I'm now in the "let's wait and see" where or if "the equal opportunity destroyer" comes back. I enjoy all your posts. I've learned so much. At the time of my diagnosis I didn't have a computer and I felt really isolated. I'm so encouraged by all of you!

Thanks a million,

Judy

    A formal welcome. I totally get the jumping in part, We just feel so empowered, so sympathetic, and so close to each other, that we dont even need formal introductions. But its nice to know each individual case so we can better help each other. Again welcome to our very special family.

    Here's a formal welcome to this wonderful site. I've read your posts. Thank you for sharing your info. I'm Charlene, 62. Married 36 years, 2 married children and 6 grandkids. I had Invasive Lobular Carcinoma in rt breast (6.1 cm) and LCIS in the other. I was ER+/PR+/HER2-. I had bilateral mastectomy in June 2010 with no reconstruction. I started 6 rounds of chemo (Taxotere/Cytoxan) In Aug and finished in Dec. I had 28 rounds of rads from early Jan to mid Feb. I see surgeon tomorrow following chest xray last week and onc on Thursday. I'm hoping they both say there are no signs of cancer.
