Hi everyone, this is my first time here,I am new at the computer too, so I hope this goes well. I get to be a veteran at breast cancer and treatment. Firt time 6/22/98, mastectomy, 6 mo of chemo, tram flap reconstruction 5/26/00, all went well until February 2002, mammogram showed small mass in other breast 5mm. Had lumpectomy followed by 6 weeks of radiation, just finished yesterday 4/30/02, will have a port put in next week and start chemo in about 2 weeks. Otherwise I feel fine and hope to get thru this as well as the first time. Thanks for listening.Emmi

Hi Emmi,
Welcome!! This is a great site and you will find that everyone cares about each other and they are all very helpful in any way they can be. I found it after I was almost one year out of treatment but it has still been a great blessing to me.My prayers are with you let us know how you are doing.
God Bless
Debbie

Hi Emmi...welcome to the group! I'm really sorry you have to face this again. I just had my 1st post-treatment mammo today, and am pretty anxious. I think the waiting is the worst. I could say, at least you know what to expect this time, but I know that doesn't make it any easier to go through it again. Please try to keep a positive attitude through this. It sounds l;ike you are pretty positive, and I think that makes it easier to get through everything. We are all here for support, so either post a message here, or e-mail any time you want to chat. God bless...Cyndi

Sorry to hear that it was found again and I am glad that you sound strong. I have had the strong chemo and the taxol chemo already - my cancer was advanced. I just had the mastectomy and it will be end of the year before they will allow the reconstructive. I am interested to hear about your reconstructive surgery. Did you lose strength? Physical therapy to improve it? any complaints?
Good to hear from you and have a great day!

I am sorry you have to travel further in this journey. I hope that having a place like this to come to might help you with your struggles along the way. I know coming here and dumping all we feel is a very good place to start sometimes. It is a chance to lift the weights that have been baring down.
Be good to yourself,

Hi Marie, I tried to send you an e-mail but don't know if you received it, I haven't quite figured this computer out and did'nt know I can just reply to you . Could you let me know if you get this message and if you had gotten my e-mail. Thanks Emmi
