Congratulations to all the sisters who have finished RADS:
I just jumped on this forum and I did not know anything about possible lung problems with rads.
I already have ET, PCV, LE (possible), with the good arm pretty useless), 2 stokes etc. Now I have to think about lungs, AHHHHHHHHHHH!
My primary doctor is Indian, pretty nice guy and he talks to me, however, he chose my BS who is a gastroenterolgist and Polish, who I am now pissed off at (after the study about taking more than 1 or 2 nodes only) for taking 21 nodes (clear) and left it to my husband to tell me I had BC. My MO is Vietnamese, who I have been seeing for 6 years (every 3 months), very nice guy but I have a hard job understanding him and he forgot to tell me that my PCV had now turned into ET 4 years previously. My RO is Indian, smiles alot and tells me rads are a walk in the park, ha ha! Are there no American doctors anymore? I was also a foreigner before citizenship so I don't have a thing about foreign doctors
Sorry about all the B------g. Apart from that, I felt pretty good today.

lestwin - My BS, RO and GP are from Mexico, my gyn is from Puerto Rico, my MO is from Lebanon. I think the lung specialist I am going to see next week is American. You right, what has happened to all our American doctors? With the exception of my RO (moron) all my doctors are really nice.0

As long as i can understand them i dont care the origin of their country.

When I started my rads it was at a brand new place, well the buildings were not brand new but the facility just open up a few months B4 I started my tx. They had 3 & 4D CT scans and state of the art machines. I had my rads on the left side and was told the SE are rare because the equipment is so precise. It will be 4 years since my rad treatment. Have not noticed any SE. The only SE I have is the joint and muscle pain from Arimidex. I see my onc every 4 to 6 months and BS once a year right after my mam. In November I had some BW and one of the TM tests came back abnormal so in March I will repeat the BW with a few others added, she said not to worry. RIGHT

yup, it depends on the size, AND the er+ or - i had chemo cause er+ and a very aggressive cancer. damn thing kept growing so fast, they wouldn't consider chemo to shrink it first. i was ok, cause i wanted the girls gone.. they were tryin to KILL me!!
wanted to tell everyone here; im dancin with NED, i know , ive put it on every thread, practically, but i so appreciate the love and prayers from all of you... the BEAST didn't get a bite, this time. Now, 2 - 3 drs. will figure out what the rib pain is about. LE, or MS are the likelys. im going to both, so its' all good! thanks again ladies!

I was dx on 1/4/11 with IDC 8mm, grade 2/3, ER+/PR+,Her-, and found out I was BRCA1+. I knew at biopsy I had cancer by the look on the radiologist face. I decided on BMX right then and there. When I went to see the onc, he thought he would be doing a lumpectomy on me (since the cancer was so small) and was surprised when I told him I wanted a BMX. After we got the BRCA report, he told me he was glad I had made the decision to do a BMX. I am now 11 days out from BMX with sentinel node biopsy. Dr called and told me all cancer was removed and nodes were clear - no further treatment required. Really? I am in disbelief that there will not be further treatment (other than removing my ovaries) as I am scared the cancer will pop up in other parts of my body. The doctor told me the actual tumor size that they removed was 1.2cm. I was so excited that I would not need further treatment that I forgot to ask what stage I was in. I will ask for a report when I see him in two weeks - in the meantime, would I be considered stage 1 or 2?
Thanks!

As I understand it, 1.2 cm with clean nodes is stage 1. The stage info will be important. I understand why you don't need rads after BMX. Did you have an oncotype? Perhaps it is very low and that is why he is saying no further treatment needed.

Raincitygirl, thanks for your response. The oncotype will be on my list of questions to him.
