He was your friend. I'm really sorry about your cat Dream.. so sad and so not fair. I have had pets all my life. Saying goodbye to each and everyone was always so hard.. hugs

Just wanted to say hello to y'all! I hardly ever see some of you in chat and lately I dont seem to be able to get in there every night, or if I do, I get interrupted with calls or dh is calling--LOL

I love to chat cuz mostly if I can help a new person, or someone there can make me laugh, its all good.. I just hardly get to the boards, but had some time this AM (DH is taking a nap-a rare thing)..so I wanted to send HUGS, and Blessings to all of you.. C'mon in for a visit from time to time..I sure miss yous!

Peace n Prayers

Hi Annie,

Im sorry that your having to go thru such a hard time. I have read about androxy and it appears that its use in advanced breast cancer is limited to women who are 1-5 yrs post menopausal. In the same literature it says do NOT use if you have breast cancer, so I'm a little confused. I know it states it is not known how it works to treat breast cancer. I pray that your team will find a combo or single drug that works for you..my husband was dx with a t3c tumor (prostate) and is on ANTI androgen therapy, so Im not sure how androxy plays into treating breast cancer.. This antihormonal thing has me dizzy. I am on Femara for my er/pr+ bc..

 Blessings,

Your sister is right Libby . Research your doctors, hospitals and best treatment facilities in your area. The treatments today are not at all like way back when and cancer is become more like a "chronic condition" these days. NOT to downplay its seriousness, but you'll be surprised at how well most people do on treatments. The variety of treatments has also come very far over the yrs.  My sister in law was diagnosed with stage IV and is still doing well 8 yrs later.Get more than one surgical & oncology opinion also, it helps put things into perspective. You have to like your doctors as well, and feel completely safe and comfortable in their hands. I found comfort in doing that. As far as getting those feelings you have, completely normal. Its a shock to find out its not someone else, but you!

Blessings,

Update~~~

I dont have "pure tubular" idc according to a second opinion that I just got this past wk. A well renowned pathologist just sent me an addendum to the 06' report. Totally different. It states,

IDC of no specific type (NOS) mammary carcinoma, tubulolobular features with alh invading the ducts and lobules. Positive margins containing invasive carcinoma and alh. there is NO adh anywhere in this pathology nor is there DCIS. So in essence, ,its IDC with some lobular features?--LOL now, Im really confused. the one thing I know is that its not pure ILC either, because its positive for e-cadherin which is almost always(almost being the key word), absent in ilc..ok, thats confusing too. Wont change my tx any tho..thank God.. I was thinkin' the next thing they'd tell me is that my receptors were different..thats the same. Have to google the tubulolobular ( thats a mouthfull).. thanks gals..

 Hugs.
