Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hi Candy, Welcome. This is a great group. My name is and I am stage IIb, but I have already been through surgery (lumpectomy with reconstructiona, node dissection) and chemo. Now is the time for radiation. You are the first one to say this about feeling the cancer eating away. I thought I was the only one with this impression. At the time it seemed to me that if I waited another day it would have eaten half of my chest! All psychological, but it is a terrible sensation. You are not alone with your worries and fears! Hang in there. Hugs Denim and Lace wrote: God bless you! That is exactly what I am doing. I have to stay strong as I am now a single parent. My girls need me. I sell on ebay so i don't actually have to work but there is no insurance thru them. I do have my husbands medical but not sure how long until that wears out. Do any of you feel like you can feel the cancer eating away at you as you lay there at night? I know it is all in my head but I feel like I feel that way?> Make any sense? So glad I found this group! & nne Svihlik wrote: Welcome to the group Candy. Being in shock is normal. Just try to take things one day at a time. I will keep you in my prayers.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks for the compliment Angel :-) I KNOW we are the best group on the internet :-) I like to know a bit about my members but not full names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. I believe that is private info and its not necessary for it to be told to me or anyone else. Especially when you don't even know the moderators etc of the group you are trying to join. I know of one group for sure, 4BCSURVIVORS that requires this and more. Maybe more are out there like this. If a person wants to share their info with individuals AFTER they get to know them thats one thing. Maybe some of you remember Ronda from a few yrs back. Some of us, at her request had her address, as some of us sent her little gifts, we got phone calls etc. Even though she gave her TRUE info address etc. She was a fake. So all that info proves nothing and if Calvin had asked for all of that I would have never joined the group.

I've been lurking for a bit, and thought i would say hi. It's interesting---the only other email list i belong to is parent-l - a breastfeeding support list, which i joined 7 years ago when i first went back to work full time and was delerious with sleep deprevation because my son was reverese cycling...( when my doc told me i had breast cancer i said - but I nursed for 3 years!! - and she said, " it's a crap shoot, marisa--no one is immune...) anyway, it seems now i am a member of another sisterhood (i kinda like being a member of the sisterhood of nursing moms - not sure about how i feel about belonging to *this* particular sisterhood...)--I was diagnosed with breast cancer on April 25, 2006 (the 2nd anniversary of my husband's death)...and have just finished my 4th, and last cycle of A/C. in three weeks time i start with taxotere/herceptin. I've tolerated everything pretty well so far...what's been most difficult for me has been the sudden onslaught of menapause (i went from a 28 day sysle to nothing - except hot flashes and night sweats) as well as incredible irritability! and GAS! Gosh! i could probably fuel a car on how much i burp! one burp behind another...(sorry if it's too much information) Honestly, it's been hard for me - and the mood swings...sheesh! My tumor was stage 1, er/pr+, no sentinal node involvement, no lympho/vascular involvement, clear margins...but her2+...I've been off all summer (i had ALOT of sick time saved up), but will going back on september 6th (the same day my son starts school..I have an 8 year old, beautiful boy, who i love more than anything on this planet ) that's it - i'm glad i found this group...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi Marisa, Thank God you're strong and coping alright. Just stick to the various treatments and you'll be fine. Do let your doctor know whatever bothers you. All the best to you and your son. Lol & God bless, Aurelia. Marisa Steffers wrote: hi - my name is marisa.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi Marisa, welcome to the sisterhood :-) It must have been rough to hear your diagnosis on the anniversary date of your husband's death. your path report sounds like mine, though I did not get Taxol as part of my treatment. I try not to second guess that, but it seems that I hear of more stage 1 women who get it vs don't get it. I have a 9 & 10 year old and am also enjoying the wonderful side effects of chemopause - not! At least I'm halfway thru Herceptin. yeah! Hope your taxol treatments go well. Herceptin has been relatively easy so far, but I'll be glad when it's over. take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 - My onc only recommended 4 treatments of Taxol when he brought up that he thought I should do two more of A/C and I declined. I've heard a lot of women say that they did either 6 A/C or 4 A/C and 4 Taxol. I'm between stage 1 and stage 2.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 interesting - I did 4 dose dense AC treatments. I thought there was a lifetime dosage of Adriamycin you could do. I wonder if the 6 treatments have lower dosage. My onc said I was stage one (2 tumors together 1.05cm); otherwise like you - no nodes, no vascular invasion, but otherwise all those other symptoms of aggressive tumor (grade 3, etc) - wrote on 8/23/2006, 2:33 PM: > - > > My onc only recommended 4 treatments of Taxol when he brought up that he > thought I should do two more of A/C and I declined.
