    I just added you to my prayer

    I just added you to my prayer list. Sounds like you could use the pink bus.

    Hi

    High risk, low risk, no one ever knows for sure. I have wasted more time worrying about things that I have no control over. Just get through the chemo and then take one day at a time.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  

    Many, many hugs to you,

    Ginny

    AMEN - Ginny!!!

    Take a deep breathe, gather your wits  -- jot down some questions, and concerns.  Take this information with you to your next doctors/oncologist appointment.  Tape recorder would be recommended - as the conversation will shift in many directions - and you may (the majority of we - Sister in PINK, do) often don't have the opportunity of having all our concerns addressed during our first, or 2nd visit.

    Ask for Clinical data research reports on all the chemo drugs begin given to you, as well as possible side efforts and medication that can be given to you to help alleviate possible side efforts.

    Gentle hugs,

    Vicki Sam

    I have to agree

    I have to agree with Ginny.Doesn't matter if it's high risk or low risk once dx we can't be sure. I have to admit when my friend was dx 19 years ago I thought she'd never make it.Now it's been 19 years.She was Stage 3 and just had a lumpectomy. I was Stage 0 no chemo or radiaton but doesn't make me feel any more comfortable. I worry every check up and in between every check up. 

    You oncologist will talk to you.I remember being afraid of taking tamoxfin.To many side effects.When my doctor said "If you don't take it you can get cancer in another part of your body".That did it.I starting taking tamox.

    Wish you the best.

    Hi

    Hi Chicaroo44,

    We all have the same worry no matter what type of BC (ER Pos/ERPR Pos/Her2 Pos/ TNBC/ IFC/ etc etc. The only way to combat fear is by being proactive with your health.

    I studied while going through BC and became a certified health counselor just to help me build my immune system to a point where I feel as though my body is as good as new!

    Stay connected here....we all will be of great comfort to you.

    Stop in the chat room a lot of people are in there in the evenings so we will keep you company.

    ((HUGS))

    When I was diagnosed, I was

    When I was diagnosed, I was Stage 3, IDC, estrogen +.  I was scared to death and just wanted to see my 4 year old grow up.

    My 4 year old just turned 31.  I endured chemo, mastectomy, radiation and many years of hormone therapy.

    I had a recurrence after an 18 year remission.  I am still fighting but am so very, very grateful that my treatments have extended my life.

    I am doing chemo again now and there are difficult days sometimes, but I will get through it.  I always look at side effects as a puzzle to be solved.  I ask questions and read and try and figure out what will work for me.  Be as adherent with your treatment as you can!

    That is my advice ;-).  I know you are in shock but put on your boxing gloves asap and get in there and fight!!!  I am praying and pulling for you!!!
