Hi Marly- I just wanted to comfort you and tell you I had many positive nodes back in Feb. 2003 and I am here today to tell you that. I was triple negative and had a complete response to dose dense AC and Taxol (plus 6 1/2 weeks of rads). I am so blessed to be here! Enjoy each and every day! My husband 1 1/2 yrs ago was diagnosed with Myeloma so living for our almost 6 yr. old is our only focus! Having a positve attitude and praying to God for all He has give us is why we are here today. God Bless!!! Dunner

Dear Heavenly Father- I pray to you to keep Steph close to your heart and out of pain. Cure her from her latest ailment because you know she deserves it. I ask this in your most precious name... Amen. I am holding your hand Steph- You are never alone! God Bless- Dunner

Hello All- I am writing for a friend of mine who was recently diagnosed with BC. She had a mastectomy (1 side and an expander put in) and when the path. report came back she was told that she had lymph node involvement. They want to go back in and remove the nodes before her chemo/radiation treatment. She is thinking why not do chemo first and then do a pet scan to see if the chemo got rid of the positive nodes. Also can you do radiation treatments when you have expanders in??? What are your thoughts??? Thanks in advance... Dunner

I know I have posted many times but for those that haven't seen my stats.... Triple Neg. and 5yrs., 1 month, 19 days, and 12 hrs AND I'M NOT TOO SURE HOW MANY MINUTES out!!!!!!!!!! Too many nodes to count too!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE CARE!!!! Love- Dunner

Yo Ter- It's me Dunner... Been away in AZ and just got back yesterday. Checking this site and BAM- Surgery! OK- you need to be a fighter!!! You are invincible!!!!!! We are all holding your hand and will be with you every step of the way! I will say extra prayers for you and Frank. Oh and it's ok to be a cry- baby!!!!! Love- Dunner

Teresa- I just wanted to answer your question ... I just celebrated my five yrs of being cancer free and my oncologist said we count from the day we were diagnosed. Hope this helps! Dunner

Dear Susan- I think you have made the right decision. You will never have to look back and say, "if only I had done chemo". I am almost five yrs out after having dose dense AC and Taxol. Just think you are going into WWIII and you are going to win the battle!!!!!! My only advise is take your anti-nausea pills. It is not as bad as your mind is probably telling you. If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat. Best of luck to you!! Dunner

Hi Ter- Where the heck have you been! Only kidding! I was so glad to see your post today and as always I am sorry for all that life is dealing you. As far as the house goes- who cares... It is people that are the only important things in life! Well here in Ct. it is a very very sad day. My good friend who lost his wife to bc two years ago, committed suicide. Three young children and we are all in total shock. He started a Research Fund for BC and raised over $600,000!!! He was a wonderful man who died of a broken heart and life will never be quite the same. So say a prayer for all the Brodeurs because that is all we can do! So be tough and stay strong. As far as the baths go maybe try a shower chair. Love and Hugs- Dunner

Dear Roxy- I would be dead by now if I listened to my doctors, believed in what I read in books and what I learned from the internet! I am almost 5 yrs out from a Stage 3 diagnosis! So keep your chin up and be a fighter!!!! You can do it because you are a winner. I completely believe that the whole BC thing is a crap shoot. Live for the moment and keep on saying "I am INVINCIBLE"!!!! Attitude is everything!!!!!!!!! I firmly believe that with the Power of Prayer all will be fine. Love and sending you lots of positive energy!!! Dunner P.S. I did the TAC regemin too with positive nodes...

I truely believe that God has a plan for all of us and He led me to your e-mail tonight (I needed it)! Thank you pmarsh34 and may God Bless You and all that have been touched by cancer in their life. I am so blessed to have come across the most sacred people in my journey with cancer. Be well every one!!! God Bless- Dunner1
