I had an appt with the radiation dept this afternoon after I had a CT scan this morning. The cancer has not spread to any organs, but has spread to a mammary gland in the center of my chest. God, chemo, surgery, and radiation will take care of that. This is the best news I've had since I found out I have cancer last week. The Dr said that all of my organs look great and healthy. Praise God. I will have a PET scan on Thursday morning, then have the portacath placed Thursday afternoon. First chemo is still on for Tuesday 12/7. I'm scared, but ready to get this going so that I can be cancer free.

    glad it has not spread. I had a PET scan and it didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Hope yours is clean. I also have a Purple Power Port. I'll be thinking about you next Tuesday as you have your first chemo I will be having my 6th and final chemo.

    I'm so sorry
    Hi Orphanannie,

    I'm so sorry that you are going through this too. Just know that we are all beside you. I found out that I have inflammatory breast cancer on 11/23 - 2 days before Thanksgiving. I'm scared, but I just remember that "I have cancer, but the cancer doesn't have me". I was more scared before I found this website and ALL of the brave, strong people here. I will add you to my prayer list. I know without a doubt that God is bigger than any cancer.

    Sending you hugs through the internet,

    Dawne

    Yay
    Yay, your last and final chemo! I know you must be very excited. I will be thinking about you on Tuesday. When you first got your port did it hurt? I have been sore since they put it in on Thursday. I'm not complaining though, because I know this is my "portal to life" :)

    We rejoice in any and all
    We rejoice in any and all good news~ and you certainly have some! I found the first chemo to be the most difficult, emotionally speaking~ after than, I settled in and visualized it killing the cancer cells!

    We are with you every step of the way!

    my 2 cents....
    first of all love this "I have cancer, but the cancer doesn't have me"

    Attitude is EVERYTHING

    It is a very scary journey but your will to beat the beast has to be stronger than your fears!

    I have the purple power port was scared to get it but so so glad I did. The treatment is so much easier with it in there and god forbid you are ever hospitalized they can access it for IV fluids and stuff IF YOU DEMAND IT they have to have a nurse from the onc floor to come do it but it's soooooo worth it.

    The people you meet on this journey (like US) are what keeps you going and in my case my kids and granddaughters for sure!

    Chemo has not been that bad for me, tiredness has been the worst so far. Taxol (sp??) was a little rough but the rest has not caused me any problems other than the extreme tiredness.

    I hope its as easy for you 2 as it has been for me! Will be thinking of ya'll and will add you to my daily prayers :)

    I have had ct scans, pet scans, bone scans and MRI's ct, bone and pets are a breeze the MRI is the one that I dread!!

    Keep us posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
