Recurrence, Stage IV

Thanks for all the support, even though I wish no one had to endure this, it helps to know I am not alone.

Strange symptom

This is my 2nd time around with chemo and I am having a strange symptom (if they are all not strange).  My eyes (eyelids) are sweating.  Not so much my face, just my eyelids.  This is very strange has anyone had this?  I am on Adriamycin, Cytoxan and Avastin.  Also,  I have been getting headaches a lot.  I will be doing a brain scan soon but I don't have the date yet.

Thanks   Keishi

Recurrence, Stage IV

I am on Adriamycin, Cytoxan, and Avastin.  Also I am triple Neg. so  as I understand it there are no oral drugs to put me on.  Also, my bone scan was clear and I am going to do a brain scan and genetic testing soon.  Thanks for the support.  I put my faith in God to pull me through this, I have 2 small children to raise.

Recurrence, Stage IV

I am new to this, well I have been reading but this is my first post.  I am 33 now and was DX in Oct. '07 for the first time with invasive cancer.  I had a 2" lump and 3 lymph nodes removed followed by chemo and radiation.  I thought I was finished but a PET showed something in the lymph nodes around my breast bone. This was tested in Aug. and sure enough was cancer.  I have started chemo and will do 4 treatments before more scans are done.  My Onc. said she is reluctant to stage me at this point; however, my surgen said she would say I was stage IV.  I guess I am here for some encourgement and advice.  How freaked out should I be?
