Hi ladies...everything went well with my revision surgery. He decided to not exchange the left implant, but instead did a little bit of fat grafting to fill a pivot, then he did a breast lift. I love my new girls now. They are symmetrical. He also did some liposuction and I no longer feel that bread loaf under my arm pit. I am still swollen but he did a great job.
Now if only the few people that I told would stop making me feel like I'm crazy just because I had this surgery. They seem to think I love being cut on. But this is enough for now. I'm thinking about getting the other side done somewhere down the road, and the only person who will know is my sweet husband and you ladies. You ladies get it.
So that is my update. Went out yesterday and had a nice haircut and color. Feeling fabulous
Also edited to add this is the first time that I have felt this good in years🎊💥🎈. So afraid to be happy though.

Shari...so happy to hear you are done with the treatments

LUV sorry you are still having housing problems. In NZ you would be extremely lucky to find a rental that would take three dogs. It's even very hard to get a rental with one or two dogs here. In NZ when you list a house for sale you have to have both signatures on the listing if the house is in both names. It would be against the law if my hubby was to sell our house without my signature and the sale wouldn't go through. Have you got a photo of your home. Unless I have missed something along the way but how come you have lymphoedema when you didn't have cancer in your nodes. I have lymphoedema but I had cancer in four nodes so they took all of them out. Your body can cope with the loss of four nodes but as I had eleven out it made me a good candidate to get lymphoedema. Hope you get this issue resolved soon as its not good to be so stressed all of the time.
Jan it must be a nightmare with all the mountains near you burning. I can remember when one of our mountains (Mount Ruapehu) here in Taupo (we have three) blew her top and we had ash in the air for weeks. All the people that worked in the ski fields lost their jobs because there was no snow so we all dread it happening again. And your lovely brand new car. So sorry you got whiplash that is very painful. The other party will have to pay for the new car won't they. Choose a different colour this time. Bet you said a few &(*(&(.
Shorfi take no notice to what other people say. It is your body and if you are pleased with the results then that is all that matters. In this world with so much strife you have to do what makes you happy and nobody else. So glad you love your new perky girls and glad you are so happy.
Shari great news with the chemo being over. Now to get back to normal and out in that garden when you feel up to it. Do you have to have any further scans.
And Mike, my doctor is sending me for an HbAlc????? Sure hope I don't have to have that Metformin.
Another two weeks and we will be in spring. Just can't wait. It's been a very cold winter.

Shorfi, I'm so happy that your feeling good and enjoying the results of your surgery! You deserve it and no one knows what you've been through unless they have been there- ignore them, I think we should all grab what makes us happy and find joy in that!
Jan, I'm so sorry you got whiplash, I hope your not in too much pain. I can't imagine what it's like, we use our necks constantly with every subtlemovemen. Please rest up and take care of yourself.
Cocker, I'm very happy that tx is over but am feeling a bit of the 'abandoned' feeling we all go through transitioning from active treatment to trying to find the new normal. I went through it the first time so I know that time will heal, just a little harder bring a recurrence. I had a bone scan done on Fri as I've had a lot of pain in lower back- x Ray shows moderate degenerate disease and I'm pretty sure my MO is just bring very proactive in ordering a scan. half way through the scan, the tech asked me if I have groin pain. This has me wondering if he saw something. I'll have to wait till the 2nd to get results. I've learned to not borrow trouble so I'm not going to worry about it but have to wonder what would show in the groin area?
Luv, I'm sorry your having to deal with all this real estate issues now. I hope your not stressing too much although if my DH suggested we move I'd probably freak out. My home is my safe place, my place of healing and rest- try to take that away from me and I'm sure the she wolf would emerge!
Placid- Congrats on 3 years!!! Yahoo, stay positive and thank you for sharing such encouraging news!
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend, it's beautiful here at 23 degrees and sunny!

Placid, congrats on the three years!
Cocker, we did both have to sign the seller contract and my husband got upset when I expressed my feelings about wanting to at least wait until I hopefully hit the 5 year mark before selling. He said that's not living, you're cured and we have to move on! He also said he wasn't happy here and isn't staying for me to be close to a volunteer "job", doctors, etc. I'll still be able to see my same doctors but the area he wants to move to is about two hours away. It's also almost three hours from the Doberman rescue. But I guess it's ok we move just so he can grow a bigger garden and have fruit trees?!! The last who's buying our house wants to close on September 28th. He's gonna be gone a lot next month so we have very limited time to find a house or place to rent while we build a house. It's almost impossible to rent because of our dogs. Regarding the Lymphadema, you don't even have to have cancer to get that. Anything that disrupts the lymph system can cause it, such as trauma or surgery. I only had two nodes removed. I don't have it in my arm but I have truncal lymphedema. Compression and MLD doesn't help much either. So it's a bit more challenging. So far it's mild, BUT my biggest fear is infection because I'm scared of antibiotics because of the dang C Diff history!

Luv, I was told the same thing at my hospital clinic on lymphedema, they said you don't even need to have nodes taken out, that surgery or radiation can cause it and every woman who has been treated for breast cancer is at risk. I have it mildly in my arm and should wear my sleeve/gauntlet more but find it very hot in the summer. I did have truncal prior to mx and found the compression bra helped. For some reason, since mx I don't have the uncomfortable swelling.
I'm happy you can still see your medical team, but sorry your now forced to find somewhere to live in such a rush. Seems very selfish, I'm sorry. Hugs.

Shari I know what you mean about not liking to wear the compression garments due to the heat BUT I would wear them regularly if I were you. When I was first diagnosed with lymphedema she said I didn't have to wear them all the time and could either wear them at night or during the day. Apparently I didn't wear them enough, especially when it was hot or if I wasn't doing much on some days. I also didn't to the MLD exercises often enough. So, I am kicking myself now. I don't want to sound like a mother hen but I'd wear the stuff if I were you.
Regarding the move, I'm most upset that I won't get to go to the rescue anymore because it's such a big stress reliever. Also where we are moving to isn't really close to anything that may be fun for me to do. It's way out in the country. I'm sure a lot of folks will be like why can't you do something else besides the Doberman rescue. Well, the rescue is just special to me since Dobermans are my passion, plus I am close to the other volunteers and love being with them. It's like my sanctuary! Yes, it is only volunteer work but in my opinion it would be equivalent to me moving my husband and pulling him away from his job that he's passionate about! I especially don't know what I will do when he is traveling, which he does A LOT!!!

LUV I would find it very hard to be pulled away from somewhere where I was happy and contented to live in the country with nothing familiar around me. In the country here houses are miles apart and it may be harder for you to make friends or to drive anywhere easily. I enjoy meeting my friends for lunch or brunch and would resent my husband if he took all that away from me just on a discontented whim. I love to laugh and my friends make me laugh. If your man is away a lot it would be even harder for you. Trouble is he may want to plant trees but doesn't seem to want to stay long enough in one place to see them grow. Don't put your volunteer work down. Volunteers are needed all over and its a testament of your character that you do this for those beautiful animals. That is to be commended as they need you and others that do it so lovingly and willingly. Perhaps its time to put your foot down and explain that you need a certain way to live as well. Marriage is always a compromise but it must be from both sides not just one.

Cocker, the place we looked yesterday did have some neighbors close by at least but it's just so far away from my volunteer work. In my husband's eyes just volunteering isn't good enough for us to stay where we are. You're exactly right about him not being in one place long enough to grow everything he wants. There's a good chance he could get his current boss' position when he moves on and that job would be back in TX! That's another reason I don't want to move now because he changes jobs every two to three years. It's ridiculous. He just likes change and he's tired of where we are now because our yard, plants, garden, etc is already established and he's bored! That's all it boils down to. Today we looked at places closer to the Doberman rescue but of course he found something wrong with all of those! He has his mind set on an area and that's what he's sticking to! He acts like he's looking in an area close for me but he will always go where he wants. He does have lots of good qualities and I do love him so I don't want to just give up on our marriage. I just wish he knew more about Triple Negative and know I'm not out of the woods yet and I need my best therapy right now which is my volunteer work! My Oncologist and former therapist both told him how important it is for me to remain as stress free as possible but he says he knows me best and knows what I need. But when I tell him what I want to do he gets upset. He grew up with his mom giving him everything he wanted and telling him how perfect he is and it has carried over to our marriage so when he doesn't get what he wants he can't handle it. He was great during treatment and I don't ever want to see the fear and hurt I saw in his eyes ever again. I just wish he was more understanding of my feelings after treatment. You all know that treatment may be over but the fight and fears are never over. Anyway thanks for listening and being here for me! XOXO!!

LUV I do hope everything turns out ok for you. It must be very frustrating trying to get him to see your point of view but hopefully he will wake up and change course. Things will happen as they are meant to. Sending big warm hugs and hopefully a resolution to your problem. xx

Hey Gang, I am posting this for your advice. I am sorry I have not been around, but I had to have a break from all the sadness and etc. Mainly because I can't keep up. I am posting this as a mass, but if you could would you please respond in PM. I always miss stuff. Just take the Facebook out of my message and add this board. Thank you
Hey Gang: So, I was not going to put this on Facebook, but I do not have a lot of females in my life to talk to.....(MISSING MAMA). I have recently learned that I have Stage one pre-cancer uterine hyperplasia......the doctor said the good of the bad. To keep it from going to the bad we have to do something. As most of you know I have battled breast cancer since 2011 and having it return in 2013 and now this and one other thing we are watching. Hormones are not good fo...r us and being T.N. (triple negative) they do not know what feeds our cancer so they don't have a lot of options for us.. We have no targeted therapies and basically it is a shot in the dark and/or playing Russian roulette when we do try things. I have been told since day one NO HORMONES for any reason. Well the gynecological oncologist wants to put me on them and a strong dose. My regular gyno. does not agree with the dose and she herself will not make this decision or treat this with the breast cancer so she wants me to see the G.O. that she trust 100%. I should have gone to him in the first place but I chose one that works with my Medical Oncologist..........If I do the hormones, then I have to have a Uterine Biopsy every 3 months from now on to be monitored. I understand that those things are barbaric and I just don't think it is good to go poking on things all the time. I think I am going to opt for the hysterectomy and I would like to have you share your experience if you had one, what kind, do you regret it and any questions you think I need to ask ahead of time. For those of you who know me, know that I do not do surgery unless absolutely necessary so for me to even consider it you know it is something I am not looking forward too. I brought this to Facebook because this is the only way I know to reach many women. I also know that people don't mind sharing but not on Facebook so please feel free to answer through Facebook e-mail or tenncats@gmail.com I am terrified and sick of all this cancer crap. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I do not have an appt. with the new G.O. yet but please answer as soon as you can, so that I will have the questions in order.
Thanks ahead of time and sorry so long.0 -
hi Carolina Amy, I also would be interested in what Dr. Lisa Carey tells you . I had Dr. Gallagher from UNC do my lumpectomy and thought she was great. I would happily return to her for a bilateral mastectomy but think it is better to see a surgeon in Charlotte where I live to be closer for follow up care in case of post op complications. I notice many of the triple negatives seem to be for IDC. I have triple negative ILC. I wonder are there any triple negative ILC ladies out there. I think I have heard only about 3% of ILC's aren't ER + but I would love to hear from someone with triple negative ILC if any are out there. All the same I find it helpful to hear from any triple negatives. We are a special group!

Hi all,
Thank you for the welcomed and messages! Much appreciated
I'm having a panic attack and need advice! I just saw my radiologist oncologist and she told me she's not comfortable going forward with radiation! She said since I had a Pcr and no node evolvement, and a BMX that the risk outweighs any good
she said I'm more likely to get cancer from the radiation... My husband thinks it's great news but I am having a very hard time. I was already upset about not having more chemo and now I don't even get rads?!? I'm done with treatment.... How is that possible? How am I suppose to just move on?
0 -
LillieRose I know it can be scary to think no more treatment. I just finished chemo on July 27th and will not be having radiation. I also had a BMX with no node involvement. They basically said they would not have a place to radiate. I went to my MO this past Friday and they basically talked to me about my blood and said it would be fine for me to have reconstruction surgery in September and that they would see me in November. I feel like I am in such limbo. I have been going to see a dr almost weekly sometimes twice a week since the last week of December. Now I am just at home trying to recover from the chemo and praying my cancer is gone and not just hanging out somewhere waiting to show itself. I think the best advise is to try to get back to doing what you did before a little each day and be thankful for all the things you can still do. I have little goals each day that I try to accomplish and a few short term goals for the future. This message board is also a wonderful place because everyone here gets what you are going through.

LillieRose I'm no doctor, but the course your doctors are taking seems right in line with what everyone else who had the same diagnosis, etc (no nodes, PcR, BMX) that I have read about has had, with the exception of not finishing chemo. But, given that you got a PcR maybe they decided there's no reason to pump more poison into you. That said, what I think might give you some peace of mind is to perhaps go for another opinion. It's fairly easy to have all of your records sent to another reputable Oncologist. Or, have them give YOU your records and go see perhaps another MO or Radiation Oncologist or both. Remember, YOU are in charge and you're entitled to confer with other doctors if you're not comfortable. I think maybe a second, or even third, opinion might make you feel better. But regardless of what you do, be sure to grab onto that PcR and celebrate a major win that not all are blessed with achieving!

thank you so much for your reponses! I just keep feeling like "I got off to easy" if that makes sense? Everything I've read for someone with my situation (30 yrs old and postpartum) is like doom and gloom.. The bad shit. I was planning on a ton if aggressive treatment and that is what they planned... Now I'm getting out of treatment havin only done 8 weekly taxol, 4 AC, and a BMX... It seems to easy... It seems like I should have more. I'm scared I'm not doing enough and they say hit it hard the first time

Hi everyone,
I've been in a whirlwind of starting my girls back to school, heading to UNC for the consultations, getting ready for a painful transition in our family this weekend, and heading to Duke tomorrow for a final consult before moving ahead. I'm stretched way too thin right now.
To add to everything... while I was at UNC last week, I found out that my sister had a colonoscopy due to ongoing symptoms. The doctor brought her out of anesthesia to tell her there was a large tumor that needed to be biopsied. Yep, it's cancer. So my parents have to deal with both of their 40-ish daughters having cancer at the same time. It's horrific.
UNC was a surprise. I thought they'd automatically go for neoadjuvant chemo, but Dr. Carey really didn't think it was needed. She said that, because we caught the tumor at a relatively small size and there isn't clinical evidence yet of nodal involvement, the Adriamycin brings a 1% risk of heart damage and/or leukemia that is about the percentage of improved prognosis. It's kind of a balance right here and she isn't thrilled at giving a young woman something so hard on the heart. "I have to keep you alive and healthy for another 45 years, so that impacts the decisions.". It's not a BAD idea, but the folks I spoke with at UNC all said surgery first, then chemo.
I was surprised and unnerved, because my MO here was on board with neoadjuvant only because she was finally able to feel the tumor and thus monitor whether it grew. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done it. But given everything, including my age and the borderline size, etc., she even commented, "With all the factors... it's what I would do". And somehow I was relieved and felt at peace about it.
My husband is definitely not thrilled at the idea. He thinks I should do lumpectomy and chemo, not realizing there's no chance to avoid radiation in that situation. Since the tumor is on the left and close to the chest wall, I'd like to avoid radiation if at all possible and so I'm considering mastectomy. I'm considering BMX just to lower my chances of recurrence to the lowest possible number. He thinks it's overkill for a "really small percentage". It's not small when you're talking about my life.
And given that the only appointment he's gone to is the initial one with the surgeon, and that he hasn't done any research at all to understand this, I think he needs to be careful in wanting me to go the easier path.I know it isn't necessarily what has to be done, but I just feel the need to go at this as aggressively as reasonably possible. I don't want to be three years down the line and think, "Gosh, what if I HAD gone the other way?" That's a regret I'd have a harder time living with, I think. I want to see the tumor respond to the chemo before removing it, even if that costs me the chance to find out the nodal involvement pre-treatment (and that's a tough pill to swallow). But it gives me a greater sense of peace that I'm not in the ~10% of women whose tumors don't respond to the standard chemo regimen. And that honestly outweighs the risk in my mind. I have to be able to sleep at night.
So hubby is going with me to Duke tomorrow because I've painstakingly arranged child care for all three. We'll see what they say. If they argue for surgery first, he's going to really resist the neoadjuvant plan. He was already getting prickly about it on the phone last night.
In the meantime, my port placement is scheduled for next Wednesday and my first chemo (AC dose-dense x4) starts the following day. I had my chemo teaching with the MO nurse and feel much better about the decisions. She was great--listened to my concerns both ways and I felt reassured that I'm making good decisions and that this is reasonable.
My apologies for venting it all here, but it's my first opportunity. I just need to have a plan now and go for it. And I want to go at it HARD coming out of the gate. I don't have time for a recurrence!!!
(Oh, all MRIs, bone scans, CTs showed up clear. There IS a fairly large 'ovoid mass' found in the vaginal canal that may be a polyp, and apparently I get to get a transvaginal ultrasound at some point to check on that. That's the one blip. That and 'degenerative osteoarthropy' in both shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and areas in my spine. Lovely.)

CarolinaAmy I went with the BMX for peace of mind. All of my treatments have been done in Greensboro and I have been extremely happy with the level of care. I had surgery first then chemo. I hope you get the information you are wanting so you can make your decision and be at peace with it.

CarolinaAmy - Wow, your sister has cancer too. How stressful for your entire family right now. Remember, your treatment is your decision. I totally understand wanting your husband on board, but your peace of mind is what's important. You're doing everything the right way. Getting all the facts and multiple decisions. The bottom line is, there are several different ways you can go due to your tumor size, etc., as you've found out. I also chose chemo first, then BMX. Because the pre-treatment MRI and petscan showed several nodes, I had no choice but to do radiation as well. I had great peace of mind once we could actually feel my tumor shrinking as the treatments progressed and I had a complete pathological response at the time of my BMX, no cancer cells in breast tissue or any lymph nodes (they took 15). I was 44 when diagnosed. There are lots of success stories with lumpectomies and then chemo after. This diagnosis definitely affects your husband and your whole family. But it's your body. Maybe if you explain your feelings, it will help him get on board with whatever you decide. It really is difficult for someone without cancer to really understand what it going on in our brains after we've been diagnosed. I wish you the best in your decision making, and I hope your sister gets a treatment plan figured out soon too. You're at the hardest part right now. Once you have a direction and a plan it will get better. Sounds like you're getting there, and good for you for seeking additional opinions. Education (by doctors, not google) is the best way. Don't hesitate to reach out along the way. We're all here for you!!
Hugs,
Kathy

Shari, congrats on finishing chemo!
Placid....hooray for 3 years! That's a big milestone in TNBC land.
Carolina, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister also dealing with cancer. I agree with KSteve's comment that ultimately it is your decision as to your treatment plan. It's your body and your life.
Wishing everyone else good health. I've been reading the posts, but not commenting much. Hubby and I have just taken off on a two month long road trip.....knocking more things off our bucket list. I feel very grateful to have the health and resources to take this trip.

CarolinaAmy, I'm so sorry about you and your sister both dealing with this crap!! I'll pray for you. Dr. Carey is very knowledgeable about TN so I think she's one you can definitely trust and put your faith in!
I have a question. My left ankle is swollen a little tonight on the outside around the bone. I don't remember hitting it or twisting it. It doesn't hurt but I'm really nervous because my Oncologist checks my ankles for swelling when he does my checkups. Could this be some sort of Mets? Blood clots? Very scared!! Maybe I should email my nurse navigator tomorrow. My ankles have been sore sometimes when I first get up in the morning or if I sit for awhile but they usually feel better after I walk around for awhile. Anyone have any advice or experience with this? Thanks in advance!!

CarolinaAmy I'm so sorry about your sister and my heart goes out to your parents... It seems like cancer doesn't play fair
I lost my dad in 2011 and my brother in 2013... Then to fund out when my baby girl was just for months I had tnbc at 30.This is such a long road but you sound so strong and confident! Keep that attitude! I did chemo first and then BMX. I anyway knew id have a BMX... I could find any solid data but I found a lot if young woman who developed a new primary that had lumpectomys. For me I needed every shot to beat this and I'll take the 2% better. I also had no recon... It's a lot to deal with and I wasn't mentally ready for doing more to my body. I'm 2 weeks out from surgery and I feel pretty good.
I didn't want to do chemo first but my docs really pushed it. I was so scared all through chemo but I lucked out and got a Pcr! I hope you do too! Because if that no rads for me!
Also about the nodes did they do an FNA biopsy? I had obe and it came back clear so they always though no nodes and surgery did confirm it!
Good luck lady!

just popping in again after a long absence to say hello to my TN sisters. My 4th cancerversary came and went without much fanfare.
Busy back enjoying life now and using my energy to help my newly diagnosed Mom who has ER+. She had lumpectomy 3 weeks ago and will see the oncologist soon. Pretty sure no chemo as it was very early stage no lymph involvement and she is too old for it anyway. Radiation is likely however so I am hoping that she can endure that without incident.
Love to all. Stay strong
Maggie

Lordy LUV, i think your ankle is ok.

Thank you all for your kind words about my sister. As I arrived at Duke yesterday, she texted me to say that she was leaving the ultrasound at the surgeon's office. It's invaded through the colon and the lymph nodes, and surgery is not an option. They'll do radiation and chemo. If it's not responsive to that, the only option is to remove the entire rectum. I'm pretty shaken by this.
So my visit at Duke wound up being 7 hours long and I'm just completely drained, emotionally and physically. And totally confused. The surgeon said that until my comprehensive genetics panel comes back, I should start neoadjuvant and then make further decisions. The risk of adding Adriamycin was small but the peace of mind would be great. (After discussions with my local surgeon and MO, the MO agreed to neoadjuvant chemo because she believes she can feel my (small) tumor and monitor its progression. Standard 4 rounds of A/C then 12 weekly Taxol.)
However, the medical oncologist there was more in line with Lisa Carey and felt I should just do surgery first in the likelihood that there's no node involvement and then I'd just do 4 rounds of TC. The risks of Adriamycin are enough that they think it rather balances out with the benefit of seeing whether my tumor responds or the hope of a pathologically complete response. The MO at Duke yesterday just said, "That's just a TON of chemo for a small tumor!"
I'm completely torn at this point. The more research I do (last night), the less at peace I feel about either one! I even saw one study about a 31% improved prognosis for the TC treatment (which I'd get after surgery if there was no node involvement) over the A/C plus T. I don't want to get into "analysis paralysis" where I just get mired in the conflicting information and freeze up, but I'm scheduled for a port placement next Wednesday and to start chemo Thursday. I don't have much time to choose a different direction!
There's even information about different taxanes, some of which seem more promising than standard Taxol. I know I'm not a doctor and there are reasons for the regimens they've all suggested, but I really want to kick this thing to the curb with room to spare the first time out. I wasn't too frightened of the chance of heart damage/leukemia from Adriamycin, but someone mentioned in the 'pCR' thread at the TNBC foundation page about "look, our heart just isn't the same after A". If that's just a given, maybe I have to take this more seriously than what I thought of as a possibility of damage.
I just can't bear the idea of taking the tumor out (which is great, 'cause then we'd know exactly what we're dealing with and confirm a negative node status--yay) but then wondering if I'm in that 20ish percent whose tumors do not respond to the chemo regimen. So those rogue cells are just a time bomb waiting to go off and metastasize.
I know I'm all over the map here, and I apologize for that. Please help. I just don't know what to think at this point, and I have little time. Plus, I recognize that after my sister's diagnosis, my brain is not fully functional.

Ugh Carolina!!! I am so sorry you are so torn. I agree with the one doctor about the genetic panel. Unfortunately from you history, it sounds like you may have one. I unfortunately am BRCA 2+, and found out after I had cancer. I have done all the prophylactic surgeries and in my signature line, you can see my chemo treatment... (sorry to point you there... but I get confused with what I had) and radiations... I had a positive node (Blah... ). The frustrating reality is, we all go thru this hoping that we kill it. But something else, like a bus, could get you in an instant. (Damn buses... the stats on those things are terrifying - LOL!! Sorry, I deal with stress with humor... )
You have to do what YOU think is best for YOU. I swear by the power of our attitude. It is a VERY powerful medicine. But if you introduce doubt, and stress, that also is a powerful disease.... It sounds like you have some of the very best doctors in the nation. They have trained, studied, practiced way more than we can do with the internet. Trust in them to lead you. I would honestly look at the way they treated you... did one listen better than the other? My doctors - all of them, have listened to ME... have treated ME...Sorry this isn't very insightful. I truly hope you find peace. Once I had my treatment plan in place, I was blessed with peace like I have never known before. And happiness. I wish that for you as well.
Best wishes. You, your sister and family are in my prayers.
