Hi thank you for this support. I want to support all of you also.
My Mom and Daughter from arizona are here visiting. I am so glad to have them here.
I would like to move to arizona and be by my family.
I am at loyola right now with my Mom. I had a heart sonogram and the tech said it didn`t take long because everything looked normal. Thats good! I will have a ct scan in a few hours and bone scan. Now positive thinking that will be good also.
I will post again and again thank you so much for your suport!!0 -

Hi sorry for taking so long to post. I did post again but for some reason I couldnt find this post. My new post was results of Inflammatory cancer.
Good news the cancer did not spread!!!! I am starting chemo tommorow. Little nerves, but am ready to get rid of the cancer cells.
They said I was stage 3B HER2-pos. and will be receiving chemo every week for 12 weeks. After that four more treatments every other week.
Thanks for all your post!! Prayers hugs to everyone and
here is a poem that a friend sent me and I thought everyone would like it.
WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit0 -

Praying for you Laura. Ijgpaulson said:Finding information
Hello Laura:
My advice is to ask your doctor for a copy of the pathology report as soon as it comes in.
You have a right to have a copy.
Then after you get the report go to google and type in whatever questions you have after
reading the report.
The more you are informed, the better decisions you can make.
Best of luck. I really feel for you. I have been there. I m putting my arms aroubnd yoy
to give you a big hug. I promise you - you will get through all this. You are stronger than you ever imagined.

Praying for you Laura. I love your new profile picture. Are those your 4 daughters? Beautiful, all of you!

Great news that your cancer didn't spread Laura. Good luck with chemo!
I love this poem! Thanks for posting it!
Does this mean chemo before surgery.I didn't read you had surgery or I missed it.I know sometimes they do chemo first to shrink the tumor.I read you had some tests on your heart etc. though.
Wishing you the best with the chemo treatments.I didn't need chemo but so many do.

Laura,
I don't know what chemo drugs you're getting but should they make you nauseated, please ask you onc. about getting IV fluids for a couple of days after chemo to keep from getting dehydrated. It really helped me. Some of my friends had very mild nausea for a couple of days after treatment. Keep us posted.0 -

Hi everyone, I am sending prayers your way also. I am glad you liked the poem! A friend of mine who is seven year survivor sent me that poem.
Thanks for letting about that nauseated IV after a couple of days after chemo. I do know they gave me it to me before they gave me chemo. I did not get sick. That is nice to know though.
The type of Chemo I am receiving is Taxol, herceptin, cytoxan and adriamycin. I am not going to have surgery until after chemo.
Talk to you soon!
