Hi adagio, I had 6 rounds of A/C once every three weeks. The last 2 were delayed. I had to have a line put in and then I had really low blood count. Mostly because I was resting and looking after myself enough. I was 51.

Luv, I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through right now. It is hard, very hard when it is something about our mom. My prayers are with you at this time.

wow, I can't seem to say anything right lately:) Maybe it is the pain or pain meds.The less I say the better. Trying to delete all my past posts, taking awhile as I "talk" a lot. I don't want to offend and the only way to do that is keeping my mouth shut. And I am just going to step away from this thread. Have a great life.

Luv, I'm sad for you to be losing your mother. Hugs.

Luv - I'm sorry about your mom. I'm sending strength and love your way - I hope you'll feel both as you face the days ahead.
Bernie - Well said. In time, the new ladies who've joined us will "get it." We certainly do.
Bak - This disease isn't pretty and we're all entitled to tell it like it is. It is our way of letting it out so it doesn't fester and completely destroy us. For some of us, this board is our lifeline, to share joys and sorrows. There is no good time for a bad day - we all know they happen when we least expect them. Unfortunately, your post was misread or misinterpreted and you felt the need to justify it. I would like to think that any of us can post here without fear of judgement or recrimination (is that the right word? damn chemo brain!).
That's why we're here...to share, support and care for each other.
Off my soapbox now...I'll post again later. Love to all.

Luv: I am so very sorry to hear your most recent news concerning your mom. Sending prayers and heartfelt thoughts to you, along with added strength.
Bak: Please do not go anywhere, there is no reason for you to be deleting any of your posts made in the past. If someone's feathers got ruffled by the writing of some words, a simple apology for the misunderstanding is all that is needed. We all remember the fear and doom we all felt upon just starting out and I know I too tried to grasp at only the posts and words that were promising, but also realized at the same time, that was a totally unrealistic way to handle this new battle in my life. Unfortunately, cancer is not a pretty disease, and while many of us will do just fine through all the trials and tribulations, some of us will not - and that is a fact that no pretty words can change. There was nothing wrong with your delivery, other than a newbie was reading them with great fear, and that too is completely understandable. This is a support forum - and that means that each of us on it must also learn to handle the bad news along with the good. Our newbies need to know that in time, they will handle this much better, and until such time, we are here to hold their hands and walk alongside them during this new horror in their lives. You have been through so much, please do not put any more than you already have on your shoulders. There is room and a special place for each of us on this thread, and I hope your reconsider and stay - you belong here.

Well seems I missed what has been going on here.
Bak : I have no idea what you said nor does it matter if I do. This disease is hard on us all and makes us speak us like it is... we dont sugar coat or bullshit anything. That's why this board is so wonderful. We are all different and have different opinions and should be allowed to express without judgement. From your past posts, I cannot believe you would ever, ever intentionally hurt someone with your words. To agree with the others.... this is our lifeline so please dont go anywhere. We need you as much as you need us.
(((hugs)))) to all.

I agree with what these ladies have said BAK...we love you and do not want you to leave us. We are all in this together. I must have some really thick skin because i just never get offended by what anyone here says. We all choose our own way through this crappy road

Luv, I'm so sorry that your mom is in hospice and that you had to end your trip early. I'm glad she is peaceful, though, and my thoughts are with you during this time. My grandmother had dementia.
Brenda, Please don't go anywhere! I missed whatever happened, but you are so warm, funny, and wonderful. I always look forward to reading your posts. I hope you are recovering well, and will post again very soon.
Catwhispurrer, I wish you the best on your scans and you are very courageous to seek one out. It seems the metformin is hard on some people's stomachs, so hopefully the weight loss is from that.

Terry,
Hi, and I'm sorry you are dealing with this but I'm glad you are stable. I hope you will be able to get some input from others.
In addition to BCO, have you also checked out the tnbcfoundation.org site? There is a recurrance section on there and also very friendly people, too.

Bak94 - Come Back. Dealing with this disease is enough of a challenge without worrying about offending anyone on this site. Everyone has good days and bad, we all need to vent at one time or another, writings can easily be mis-interpreted especially if someone is having an very emotional day. Whatever has transpired here - forgive, forget and move forward. We all need each other as only those who are going through this can really understand. Remember that feelings may get hurt but they can easily recover - there are so many sisters here who are dealing with really troubling issues here and we need all of us together to form a circle around them and give them lots of {{{HUGS}}}.

Well Gals, I'm off to have my surviving breast removed tomorrow. It's just an overnighter, not quite a drive-thru. Today I'm cleaning out the fridge and doing all the laundry. Then I'll go burn my bras.
Thinking of Luv, Inmate, Bak and wishing them and all of you peace and joy. Jan

Jan - not quite a drive thru.. ha ha ha! Good luck.

Bak...come back. I don't know what had been said or how you could offend anyone...certainly not intentionally. You are an important member of this thread.
Jan, good luck tomorrow and healthy healing vibes are sent your way.

Thanks Karen and Christina for the good thoughts on the upcoming scan. I am not courageous, just need to know I am NED after all the treatments. I can't stand not knowing if it all worked. I should know results by Thursday.
I'm off to rescue some more kitties tomorrow. Christina - one looks just like the one in your picture. Keeps me busy, along with now working full-time and going to school. I wonder why I'm exhausted? LOL
BAK! ((HUGS)) We need you here. You have contributed so much. I am sure it was just a misunderstanding.

CatWhispurrer Good luck with getting those results, such anxiety the waiting.
@BAK I don't know you but remember this is the internet and miscommunications happen. Please don't be too hard on yourself everyone makes mistakes and the community needs you.

Jan - you have been in my thoughts all day. I have been off the threads for awhile due to a broken computer and a new diagnosis - mets to lungs. Two biopsies, CT scans, appt's., labwork, etc. You know the drill. My MO was hoping that the BC in my lungs would not be triple neg., but he warned me that it most likely was as tumors usually go from positive to neg. - not neg to positive. We are trying carboplastin and Gemzar - hopefully it will control the tumors for awhile.
Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you are up to it. Hugs!!!

Good morning Ladies
Bak - please don't go anywhere. You have always been there for us and we are here for you. Your words have been a great comfort to me many times and I don't want to lose that. Yes sure things get taken out of context at times but we are all adults and we know what our sisters are going through. Everyone has bad days as we all know and we just get up, brush ourselves down and start over. You have a lot going on in your life at the moment and a whole heap to deal with. I for one would miss you greatly. Please stay.
It's my birthday as well today and you would spoil it for me if you don't post again sooooooooooooooo .......................... say you will stay. Annie

Happy Birthday Annie. I hope you're celebrating in style and your day is extra special.
Jan - thinking of you for tomorrow. There is something liberating about deciding whether or not to "put your boobs on".
