Dents, or indentations, can be signs of cancer too. Have you been to your Dr yet for a mammo? Please have it checked out asap!...
Janice, How are you doing now? I was thinking about you this morning... I would give it more than 3 months to feel like getting close to normal. Major surgery like this is taxing on the body in more...
Bev, Oh yes, of course I told my onc the day I started taking them, I brought in the information sheet on them so they wouldn't look at me funny! I did start feeling some benifits from them about 3...
Yeah but Bev you have to remember that I'm stage one and have very favorable conditions! Even my surgeon, who was an MD Anderson cancer surgeon, has told me to give it a try but if I don't get on...
Yesterday I had the surgery to remove the remaining skin that would have been above the tumor site, just so we could get a nice wide margin. I was more sore than I was expecting aterward, but today...
Oh I'm sorry Bev! Last summer I started having hot flashes which I agree are pretty bad. I started taking wild yam root and they went away. I had so many other horrible symptoms that my hormones were...
Bev and Janice, Thanks for your replies. The more we investigate the easier the answers come. I'm leaning towards the tamoxifen. The only thing that freaks me out about it is the blood clots. We are...
Wednesday's visit with my oncologist was not as good as I had hoped it would be. First of all he insisted that I should go back to do another surgery, and have the area of surface skin removed to get...
I met with my Surgeon yesterday for my followup, and we discussed the one margin. He got a total of 2mm on the anterior margin (1mm of it was clear), because there was no tissue left. I have very...
Janice, Thank you for thinking about me. I've sort of moved over to the breastcancer.org forum because there are so many more cases and gals there to read feedback from. My lumpectomy last Friday...
Hi Janice, Thanks for asking ;) I'm doing alright today, and that's right I've met with my MO & RO. My lumpectomy is this Friday (Feb 25th). I sort of had a minor freak out when I found a similar...
Janice please take it slowly and listen to what your body is telling you. Don't try to be a martyr! Don't push yourself. Nap often, your body is trying to mend, give it the rest it needs so it can do...
(Janice I'm going to post in your thread) I wanted to update this thread because I met with my medical oncologist (MO) and radiation oncologist (RO) on Wed. I absolutely love them both! My MO will...
They can tell alot more with the ultrasound, it shows how a mass is positioned in the natural layers of tissue. If it's suspicious they'll order a biopsy. Even then they can only call it suspicious....
I missed this post on Friday, but I'm so glad you're on the mend. It will take a couple weeks before you start feeling better, so be easy on yourself and eat lots of protein, it helps in healing...
Bev one of the trade names for the radiation is called "Mammosites" I'm meeting with an oncologist wednesday morning to go over everything. I really really don't want to take any tamoxifen or AL's,...
I just picked up my complete copy of the biopsy and yes I'm ER+ at 50.6% Intensity 1, and PR+ at 91.3% Intensity 2. My Her2 statis was not amplified. and my Ki-67 was low at 6.9% I guess this is all...
Hi LadyGaga, I don't think your weight has a whole lot to do with it. I know that some women just get seromas. It's one of those things. You might get more support online at a plastic surgery site...
Fantastic!! That is excellent news :-)...
Thanks you Bev & Janice, I've only just now got a chance to come back and post! I followed your advice Janice and got copies of all my films already, and I need to get a complete copy of my biopsy...
Preliminary results confirm it's Ductal Carcinoma and invasive, that is all I know right now until more tests results are completed. Looking at meeting with some surgeons asap....
Cyber shoulder to cyber shoulder. I like that very much! You're awesome Janice! Thank you so much :)...
I'm good, and much better today I'm optimistic! And you? I was wondering Janice. Will you take before and after pics? Have you up to this point? I know that I would if it were me, especially...
Thank you so much Janice, you listed some very very wise advise that I will most certainly follow! That is ironic and unforgivable what they told you. What nobs! I wish you all the best of luck for...
Best of luck to you Janice! I hope it goes perfectly on Monday!...
I hope all went well today for you ;)...
Thank you so much Janice. That meant a lot to hear from you. I know it's a big old goofy world, I know it's 50/50 even though they say 80% come back benign. I still believe it's a 50/50 chance just...
Any news Simplistic007?...
Which was a walk in the park, just a little throbbing and so I'm in bed taking it easy. Here is a little history... I found the lump about 6 months ago doing my self breast exam. Back in July my...
