Hi, I am not pat , but I am annother survivor. I was st3 with
2 differnt kinds of BC. I think the prize is worth the fight.
I am 2 1/2 yrs now. I did chemo first then I had Bi-mast.
I didn't have rads. :You have to make your own decisions,
but I wanted to live.
Stay strong in your fight!

Jennifer,
I never had to stop chemo, but I was dx with 2 different
kinds of cancer at the same time. I did chemo before
surg. I was st3 on one and they werent really sure I wasn't
st4.Why put me through the rough surg if I was st 4.
But I wasn't and I had the bi-mast.And I have 2 yrs now.
I know this is your second round. One of my cancers was
her-2. So I had 12 weekly of herceptin and taxol, then
a 2wk break then A/C for x4 at 10 day intervals.
Herceptin can also cause some nerve damage. But the
drug can really work . It can keep certain cancers in
remission a long time. I would go with treatment for now,
And when you improve with the shingles , re-evaluate
the situation.I would never give up. The weird thing is
about a year before dx I had a a very mild case of
shingles and it was on my face. It looked like small chicken
pox and I never got the rash but it headed for my eye.
They gave me valtrex and it stopped it. I also had annother
year of herceptin at every 3 weeks. I have some nerve
damage in my legs and feet. But not enough to bother my
daily life. So just keep on keepin on! Let me know how
things are going.
Hugs and strength,

I am sorry to hear that you have this dx. I had two different
kinds of B-cancer bi-lteral at the same time, So I had a
long chemo. I really didn't have any pain from chemo.
If you do have pain or any other side effect. I think the key
is to communicate with your Doc or nurse. They have a
remedy for most things. II was terrified of chemo. I was
more afraid than I needed to be. It sucks, but its not forever.
I haven't had radiation. So I can't say about that.
Please let us know how you are doing. Tha ladies here
have alot of knowledge. They helped me alot.

I hope none of us get the flu. I think the upper respritory
kind is still going around here. It has been bad. The er-s
are overloaded with people. You have to wash your hands
( mine are so dry) and not touch your face. You have to
eat healthy and get alot of vitaminC.
People have been sick at work. Thats hard to avoid.
Good luck to everyone,

Hi Michelle and Jenna,
Yes I'm glad they are going to watch. It's hard to try
and work and make a million appts. But , I guess I am
doing it.I am also glad that I know if I have a problem
that I trust my surgeon and my onc. I have 2yrs and I
hope to keep going! I still get worried when I have a
scan. I think " are they going to find anything?"
Oh, and those christmas lbs. Tough, they just don't want to
go away. I never had to worry about weight before.
Menopause and steroids. I'm glad you went for a walk.
You have to take everychance you get this time of year.
I guess we just have to keep moving!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Ladies,
I went to the doc today. The test didn't show what it was. He says
the lymph node is near it, but its a normal size. He says not to
worry.He thinks its the stitching for the implant. ( like scar tissue)
But he's not letting it go. He says if it grows any at all . It's comming
out. He wants to see me the dame day of my next scan which is in Feb.I am sure they will scan me alot now. Oh , great. A million
more doc appts. Just what I wanted. But I am still feeling good
Trying to loose the christmas lbs. Back to my healthy eating.
So over all good news.
Thanks for being there Ladies, I treasure all of your advice!
