Feer of FoodHi ladys Dont let the feer of food get to you,Like i did.From the start of this journey i have been afraid of food,in the feer of the cancer comming back,I lost 65lbs and I was starving my self.I have talked with alot of long term survivors with positive nodes,and they all eat things in moderation.They have tought me to let go of some of the feer.I still struggle with it daily.I used to eat nothing but fruit and vegatables i got so sick.There have been times where i just wanted to give up,but my 2 kids one is handicaped keep me going and my faith in god.Please dont do what i did.I hate what this BC has done to my family.My Family thinks because I'm out of treatment that Everyhing is fine.My Mom and Husband have told me to get over it and to quit talking about BC.I cant talk to my family about any thing.The Ladys here are my support.My Church Family is there for me,but its bad when your family of 10 brothers and Sisters turn there back on you.They have told me to quit using my BC has a crutch.I'm 15 months out Ned and happy for that.I just want my family back.....Godbless Everyone......Hugs Roxy

For those who "could" have Lumpectomy.... why choose Mast?HI I had a lumpectomy but wish to this day that i had chosen a masectomy,but my dr talked me out of it.He said that lumpectomy and masectomy are the same.I wish that i would have had a masectomy,but i cant go back in time.I'm 15 months out and NED,but now i always need to go get mamograms every 6 months.I know that God is in control of my Life.......godbless roxy |

Tumor markersHi ladys I just have a question.My Dr called and said my labs are good except I have low iron levels,thats why i have been so tired latley,he told me to take iron pills,he said my tumor markers are still stable,there a 9 normal range is 35 and under,but my markers have increased by two points last time they were a 7.She i be worried that they are starting to climb.I have read on the internet that increased markers means that the hormonal theripy might not be working.They switched me from tomox to arimidex.I have been on arimidex for two months,should i be woried the Onc is not concerned at this time.I had a clean scan the other day.Any input on this would be great.......godbless roxy |

6 month cheack upHi ladys,I need positive vibes for tomarrow.I'm going for my 2nd 6 month mamogram and ultrisound tomarrow.I went to the Onc last week Still Ned.The only thing going on is my Blood Counts are still Low Normal.He Said some times radiation can cause your blood counts to be low for years.I'm still in the normal range just on the low side.I'm 15 months out from treatment on Arimidex and doing Good.I'm not loseing any more weight.I have gained 2 lbs.I try to eat good but some times I eat junk food.I talked to A Lady the other Day and she is stage 3 positive nodes she is 10 years out and doing good and she told me that she its all things in moderation.She has ice cream and Pizza once in a while.She told me that you need to enjoy life and some times you need to feed your soul.So I try to eat healthy but i dont beat my self up over eating something not so good.......godbless roxy |

Anyone started Arimidex in 2008?Hi ladys I started Arimidex 1 month ago,I'm doing ok.I'm doing better on this drug.I was on tomox for 11 months and could not stand the leg cramps.The only thing I have is joint pain,but I take alot of Vitimen D and fish oil and that seems to help.I was node positive with my cancer,so I need to be on some thing.I had a large tumor so I plan to stay on arimidex for as long as the Onc lets me.I will even go past five years.I just had my three months check up.I'm Still Ned,and enjoying life with my two kids,and two Dogs and of course My Husband of 15 years......Godbless roxy |

3 months follow upHi ladys I need positive vibes sent my way.I'm doing good on arimidex not any bad side affects.I'm going to see my DOOM AND GLOOM Onc tomarrow.I'm 15 months Ned.I'm Enjoying Life after BC who would have thought that could be possible,but it has.Every time i go see him he brings me down.He is never a positve man or gives me any hope for the future.So I need positive energy my way to help with the negative energy.I'm telling him tomarrow i want my port out i dont care what he says.My surgeon refuses to take it out until i hit two years,because he said I had a aggressive cancer.So please think positive energy tomarrow.....godbless roxy |
