Chemo 1 of 12 done. Some tiredness, burning in the stomach and nausea but not totally horrible. Better than the ACT. I am on Navelbine now but haven't seen too many ladies on here that have had it.

Glad your done with 1 take it one day at a time. I was very blessed and was not very sick with my chemo but with the taxol I got numbness in hands and feet that is still there. I have been done since June 30 hoping it will go away soon. Hope and pray everyone will be safe through this storm.

Hi ladies I hope all is well after the storm. We had 2 huge trees fall and they just missed our house. God is in control.

Glad the trees missed your house! We are okay here - still have power. School has been canceled for the first 2 days for this year so far.
Hope everyone else is okay!

Sweetbean-I hear good things about Dr.Defusco.Two of mhy friends have her and she is very thorough.
Singlemom-Good to hear from you, wondered where you've been. Did you end up having surgery? I glad your chemo is over. It's a long hard road but you'll get through it.
Ladies-I heard the Aqua Turf in Southington hosts a BC dinner in OCT. They have wonderful food there and the place is lovely. The proceeds also help women who need help with medical expenses and they have a speaker. This might be a good place and time to meet. I need to find out more and get back to you.
I hope everyone is ok after the storm. We lost power for almost two days but I know many people have had to endure worse.
Lynniea-Thank God the trees missed your home and your ok.

Chris-yes thats it. If any of you haven't been there before its a beautiful place and the food is excellent. For the event you can reserve a table of ten. You need a name to put the table under and then when you call you have to make sure they add you to that table. Let me know who wants to go and if we have around 10 I will be willing to call and reserve a table. Let's just get a count first of who might be interested. I know a few other CT girls who are not on this thread too and I'll email them.

Hi Ladies had my 6th TX of radiation today only 24 left. Iam attending celebration of life at the hospital I go to. How is our table comming? Have a nice weekend.

Lynniea-glad your doing well. You have to call the Aqua Turf ( CHris posted the link above). If one of you doesn't mind calling and asking that they reserve a table under breastcancer.org and give your name. After that whoever calls has to give the name the person who reserved the table. I'm not sure at this point yet if I'm going to be able to go because I just started a part time job and I work night hours.I'm going to try, so I'll let you know.

Hello ladies! I just got off the phone with Sweetie2040 (thank you so much for your time) who suggested this site. I have recently been diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinova. I don't have any other information other than the lesion is 3 cm at it's widest point. I was going to go to bed but I thought before I do, I'd check to see if anyone has heard of a doctor I am considering. I hope to at the very least be able to set up an appointment with an oncologist tomorrow. Is anyone familiar with Dr. Gary Tansino?
I have my moments where I am very strong and positive and other where I'm very nervous and scared. Right now I"m wavering between the two. I'm more afraid of what the doctor is going to say as to the stage of my cancer. I know that makes a big difference as to whether or not there is treatment possible.

If we start a table and we don't fill what happens?

Welcome Bunchocats! It's very normal to feel the way your feeling right now, but once you get a more specific DX you will have a plan of attack. Hang in there we are all here for you and it's going to be alright.
Hi Rosie-Welcome to our thread. I have a friend who lives in Colchester that I met through my Dr. She also is going through bc and wanted a patient reference. She lives about 45 mins away from me but I see her when she comes down for her Dr appts. It's a small world.

Lynniea-I'll call the Aqua turf today and get some info and let you know.

Hi Ladies-here's the scoop on the Ladies night out at the Aqua turf- first off although it is at the Aqua turf they are not the ones presenting it. It is done in association with Bristol hospital. It is going to be a real nice event. They will have something for each survivor who attends, many vendors, prizes, a fashion show with survivors in it, a quest speaker and a full course dinner. Dinner will include salad,pasta, roast beef, chicken Francois, roasted potatoes and vegetables, coffee and desert.
Now in order to get a table together one person have to send in the form (that was on the link above) and order all the tickets at once.This is because the tickets are numbered and in order to be seated together they must all be purchased at the same time. Once ordered the tickets can be held at the door and picked up that night. The only problem is since one person has to place the order the checks will need to be sent to that one person who gives the order from to them. They are located out of Bristol so I can do that if you guys want. The check would be made out to L&O Health Project. Let me know if your interested and I can give you my address privately. You can view all the details on the prior page where the link was posted. It sounds like a really fun night and the Aqua Turf is a gorgeous place (they have huge weddings there).
If you want to order the ticket on your own you can but you won't be seated with the group. You can do that as well by sending your check to the address on the link and they will hold your ticket at the door. She said they are not set up to take credit cards. The thing is being organized by volunteers who put on these type of events for women. I also told the event sponsor about BC.org and she thought it was so great she wants to put it in the brochure they hand out that night.If you girls want to buy tickets on your own we can always decide to just meet eachother there and say hi at somewhere but no guarantee we'd be seated together that's all.

I am still very interested in going. I want to sit with you all. So let me know where to send the ticket money.
