How was everyone's Tgiving (the good, bad and the ugly please)Good: 9 kids under the age of 9! For once my kids weren't the only kids there!!!! Bad: My son Matth got a bloody nose. He handled it very well. Ugly: My 15 year old cousin that decided to cling to me all day!!!!!! I did get to hear from good music on the ipod. You know the teenage way - he had one earbud I had the other! Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

Patrick Swayzee Diagnosed with Pancreatic CancerI "grew up" watching his movies. My first date with my high school love was to Dirty Dancing. It's such sad news. He seems to be letting it rule his life tho - so that's awesome. Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

Scan donenow to just wait to hear. I'm sure it won't be til Monday. it was an easy one. No contrast so no IV! That part rocked. The other good part - i got there early and they have free wifi so I was able to calm buy chatting on Facebook. And good news - didn't even question my tragus piercing! I have used the spacer for my belly - last year when I was having the tests. That ones gone now due to surgery so I didn't have to worry about it. If this scan is fine - I may be getting that baby back!!!!! Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

CT without contrast????Would that show anything???? I'm have a CT scan tomorrow of my chest (not BC related) and they aren't using contrast. Out of curiosity would anything be seen - if there was something to be seen. Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

CT scheduledSo my heart dr wants a CT scan. Wants to make sure it all healed correctly etc. Could be that one of the bones didn't heal together or something like that. He said worse case scenerio - they'd have to go in a "clean it up". GULP. I'm thinking that won't be necessary Jill - Not taking herself too seriously!

stupid heart dr!Yes more than 2. And I'm thinking normal healing too but I'd hoped they say that right away! And yes yes of course I'll get the tests done if they insist BUT i'll pout the whole time Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

stupid heart dr!So I called my heart surgen because my sternum has been hurting (I had open heart surgery in April). I thought I'd hear "oh that's just normal healing". No instead I got quetsions and the words CAT SCAN thrown at me! no no no no no no no no no tests! I know I know I'm jumping the gun because it wasn't my dr I was talking to but I believe it's dr that works with him not the nurse. ARG - stupid dr.
 so now I wait til they call back tomorrow.Jill - Not taking herself too seriously! Dx 7/2003, IDC, 2cm, Stage II, Grade 3, 0/4 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

Masectomy after lumpectomyI had a lumpectomy and some days when I look back if I had a do-over I would've had a mastectomy - of both side although I think getting that would've been a fight. I know that statistically a lump with rads is as good as a mastectomy BUT the numbers don't address the worry I have every time I feel something. I know, I know - a double mast. doesn't make it 100% but it would've helped some days i think. In the end tho I'm ok 97% of the time. Just those few "what if" days.

The ct scan is scheduled for next wed. I'm guessing I won't hear til the following monday due to the holiday weekend. I just hope I don't have to take out my piercing.
and having Auntie right around the corner is NOT helping!
