Ksteve, Thank you for your encouragement! My MRI biopsy is tomorrow. I was going to call the radiologist today to ask how my 1cm became 6cm...but I decided I will just forget about it for today, and see what tomorrow's biopsy shows. I will take some xanax, and hopefully, behave As I get poked. Just want this pre-game show over!
My hugs and prayers to all of you this week....I thank you so much for being here with me.

Cocker, YAHOO! So happy you had a good check up! I have a fur baby but she's only a 10 pounder! My Dad loved Dobes and had a female and then her offspring. I have such great memories of growing up and sitting around the dinner table begging my Dad to tell me stories of his Dobermans-seemed like they were always doing something funny and amusing! I know my love of dogs comes from him and am so grateful.
Arlene you better be wearing big pockets -we are all jumping in to be with you and promise to be still during your MRI! Hope someone is bringing drinks!
This morning on my way home I was driving on a road I normally take, it is a typical rural road with just a few houses on one end. There is an area that is swampy in the summer so it is clear of trees and I happened to look that way because it was so sunny and I saw four beautiful female (young I think) deer looking at me. The sight was so beautiful it took my breath away. I usually carry my camera, but not this morning. I'm going to take this as a positive sign!! Love to all, Shari

Shari, doberman's are very silly and entertaining! They are the most affectionate breed I've ever owned. We have three and I'm hooked. They have helped me thru so many dark days, it's unbelievable! I'm praying for you for tomorrow. We will all be with you. Don't forget!

Thank you Luvmydobies! I'm wearing big pockets again. after all this waiting, I'm ready to know! Still in a surreal state. My apt isn't till late afternoon, so I'm going for a restorative yoga, nice and relaxing! Then I get to drive 2 hours in a probable snowstorm :-/. Hubby will meet me there and drive us home.
My Dad use to tell me 'Lady' his first dobe would love to hunt mice at my uncles farm. She would stand cocking her head and then pounce with both front legs straight on an area and get the mouse. If I had the room I would definitely get one to experience the personality- he said the same thing as you about them having a sense of humour!

Well, just got home from another long day at the hospital.
Good news is that all my scans came back clear. The pain I have in my hip is from a cyst and I have to go back to my rheumatologist for treatment.
Bad news is that I have a local recurrence of cancer. We were able to meet with my breast surgeon as well as my oncologist and there is no question, I need a mastectomy. It is the same cancer- trip negative and they are very surprised that it has recurred especially since I had pathological complete response to chemo and good margins with surgery. Unfortunately they don't know why some recur. I will be having a breast MRI hopefully in two weeks and surgery, hopefully in one month. Because I had high dose chemo, it is unlikely that I can do it again. My onc said that she will wait till surgery- get full stats on the cancer and then take it to the 'tumour board' to discuss whether I can have a different chemo and possibly more radiation.
I have (very easily) decided to have immediate reconstruction and met briefly with the plastic surgeon as well. Because I had radiation, I will be having diep flap surgery. So...looks like I get a new boob and tummy tuck! I will be loosing my nipple :-(
I asked how my prognosis looks and she said ok- obvious not great since I had a recurrence so soon. She said my nodes look clear but will check during surgery again.
So, I face this battle with a dwindling army. Surgery. If I'm lucky some sort of modified chemo.
Sorry to give this crappy news but I have to say that I was really afraid it was already in my bones, so I am grateful. My battle begins again. Thank you everyone for being with me in spirit, your positive vibes has kept this to a local recurrence!

oh Shari,So sorry to hear this. We all don't know what to say I'm sure. My heart sank reading this. It's not in the nodes and not in your bones. Is it in the same area as prior tumor?Stay with us here and march forward again into the fight. We'll lift you up when needed
0 -
So sorry Shari! (((((HUGS)))))!!
I haven't seen all your history, but maybe they can do Adriamycin or Abraxane? Abraxane is in the Taxol family but is supposedly easier on the body. I tolerated it very well. Keep us posted. I will keep you in my prayers always. We will be with you every step of the way

just had to post! Me and my daughter from her wedding on Saturday. 3 1/2 years out. Life has returned to almost completely normal with the exception of surgery in April for just a small tweak on the "girls" It was so wonderful to still be here to share this awesome day with her!

Shari, glad to read that your hip problem is a cyst and not more. You will get through breast surgery and move on. There are so many chemo combinations, - the dr will know which is right. You have a good attitude. Stay strong and know that we are always here to talk to!
Mags, - beautiful photo!
