I bought an electric razor today.  My hair is growing back :) it started happening really quickly once is stopped chemo.  Kinda sucks having to shave my legs again!!!

I did the four Ac and the four Taxol, two weeks apart.  Worked for me, i had at least one probably more nodes and a 3 cm tumor, completely gone when i was done with chemo.  Not one microsopic cell left.  There was a time during the taxol when my bones hurt, not everyone gets the bone pain, i was one of the lucky ones, and i was considering lowering the dosage, but i decided to stick it out, and i'm glad i did!!!  Ok, I'm logging off and taking a shower now ;0)  been on the computer too much this morning!!

My arm still hurts!!!  I think i may have overdone it yesterday!!  It kills me to be home and not do my normal stuff, and i could tell my husband was stressed out, so I made a salad and did the kids lunches, plus I drove quite a bit for the first time.  I'm borrowing my sisters car though, a jetta, cos i have a big SUV, cant quite imagine driving that yet.  I have my first follow up visit with my BS today, so that should be interesting.  I've only seen my PS since my surgery.  It'll be my first discussion re my pathology report.  I want to find out what it means in terms of recurance, since i had a total response to chemo.  Now ive got to get dressed and try and find a shirt that I can pull up, that covers this big Drs bra, and that isnt too hot, since its supposed to be hot today ;)

OMG how scary!! I'm glad your arms ok!! I got see my BS tomorrow for the first time since my surgery almost 2 weeks ago!!!!  This whole arm thing is kinda scary!!!!  It stilll really hurts!!

Lainy64, when were you diagnosed?  Have you had or do you need chemo?  I have had chemo already :)  Onto rads I go!!

Did you use deoderant?  Is that ok??  I was dying yesterday, it was 94 degrees outside, and i was scared to put on deoderant!!  Bet i smelt real good ;)

No I didnt get any cream!!  Just a horrible drain!!!  Your kind of close to me, i'm in Mission Viejo ca!!    Do you need to have chemo or have you already?  I had chemo first, so I'm done with that :)

Thanks, Its definitley a wierd feeling now!!! It still hurts but tingles also!!  I had my surgery November 5th.  Hopefully it'll clear up quickly :)

I had a mastectomy on one side last week, had chemo first, complete response, and i'm thinking I may go back after radiation and get the other side done.  I know it doesnt reduce the mets odds, but wouldnt it cut down on the stressing and breast exams and mamos?  One less worry i'm thinking?  I know you can still get it in the scar tissue, but still... I'm going to talk to my BS on tuesday and see what he says

Yeah i got the no blood pressure and sticks.  Thats about all they told me though!! I guess i'll  find out more on Tuesday.
