    Sherry how beautifully you relayed the day to us....So glad your father found his peace and your family is taking care of each other.  Thinking of you....praying for you that His healing hands touch you and the tumor is just a tumor.  You know they say 80% are not cancer and I think you've earned the right to be in the 80% this time!

    thank you all for your love and support.  Bad enough to deal with losing my Dad but to have to worry about another tumor has had me way stressed. I went to see my MO today and he called my BS and after lunch went in and she did a fine needle aspiration biopsy in her office.  And OMG did it hurt.  Last two biopsies I had lidocaine numbing, but with a FNA they cannot do that as it messes up the path report. I should get the results on Friday.  Both MO and BS said it probably was not cancer since I have been on Tamoxifen but you never know and the fact that it is solid that it has to be biopsied to know for sure.  And both said even if it is B9 I have to have surgery to remove it.  BS asked me if it was cancer would I want a lump and radiation again and I said absolutly not.  She knew I had a hard time and figured I would go for MX.  At least I got it all done today and will find something out Friday. BS was reading the MO report and she looked at me and said as bad a SE's as you had I'm supprised you hung in there and kept taking the tamox. I said yes my body has finally adjusted but it was a rough start. My Dad's funeral will be Thursday morning.

    Hi everyone! Guess what the NP that set up the US with surprise Mammo....well she called yesterday.  Seems they all just figured out that other than the one time about a week after surgery in March, I haven't seen the BS for a follow up.  I'm scheduled 11-9.  In translation, what I really think happened.....

    The NP showed the BS the results of my mammo/US with my record.  He noticed I've called and talked to her on several occasions, and I'm guessing he was unaware....so now the push to get me in for my post op appt....surgery was in March.....oppsie. 

    Atleast he'll be able to see all this for himself. Yeah me.

    Granny we are here with you!  I like the rascal flatts song -

    It's like a storm
    That cuts a path
    It's breaks your will
    It feels like that

    You think your lost
    But your not lost on your own
    Your not alone
    I will stand by you
    I will help you through
    When you've done all you can do
    If you can't cope
    I will dry your eyes
    I will fight your fight
    I will hold you tight
    And I wont let go

    It hurts my heart
    To see you cry
    I know it's dark
    This part of life
    Oh it finds us all
    And we're too small
    To stop the rain
    Oh but when it rains

    I am in my second 33 radiation treatments, I thought yu could only get this treatment once but if it is in another place you can get it again. I had a lympectomy 4 years ago with the mammosite radiation treatment. All was fine until 4 years later where my breast started to get bruises, got hard and started oozing. After several biopsis, 2nd opinions , it was determined that iIc got radiation burn from the mammosite. This resulted into a very rare cancer( only 3 other people in my state have it).

    I had a mastectomy followed by radiation, and surgery to clean out the residue of the radiation.

    It's a vicious circle. It seems it spread so I have to get another session of radiation. Anyone else into this.?

    Chrisorz:

    Sorry to hear that. It's amazing that we might get the residue problem that many years after.

    I wish you well.

    My surgeon called and the results of my FNA were inconclusive and I have to have an excisional biopsy done on Thursday.  I tried to weasle out of it and asked about different types of biopsies but she spoke to my MO and he said he wants it out.  I also called my PS and they thought I should go ahead with the excisional biopsy and see what happens from there and we can still work with my BMX after that.  So looks like I'll max out my insurance again this year and next year.  Gee when will I get a financial break.  Spoke to my boss and told him the news and asked him when he was going to get tired of me and he is so sweet just said he wants me healthy so I can work with him for the long haul.

  • Sherry, I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. But, I have to say I'm glad you have an understanding and supportive boss. I too have a wonderful boss, he has been so great through all of my treatment. At least it's one less worry we have to deal with and that means A LOT!

    Thinking about you girl! Hugs!

    Jo I will wear extra big pockets for all of you.  But please bring some really good snacks since I won't be able to eat anything.  I have to be at the hospital at 8am.  I get my needle loc at 8:30 and surgery is at 11:30.  So I won't get home until late afternoon or early evening depending on if I get sick in recovery which I tend to do.  I'm going to ask for some really good nausea drugs.

    I don't know if you can take Emend without chemo, but it did the trick for me during chemo for the nausea. Sherry are you going to be knocked out or in twilight?

    Ok, so 1 week post radiation!!! Doing well, skin healing wonderfully...Went back to work for first time in a month, work went well, even got out early...was looking forward to an afternoon nap..........Then I was in a car accident, REALLY???? I was not injured, sore neck, hit my "good" boob and my knee. I stopped at a stop sign, no traffic, then a truck pulled up on my right to turn right, blocking my view, I started to cross intersection and was smashed into by a car coming from the right... I did not see that car until it hit me!!! I wonder if it came from a parking lot across the road and the truck had blocked my view...uugh...so of course i got a ticket because I was at the stop sign....Both cars were towed away, All 4 people in other car signed refusal for treatment forms, then when the driver got out of her car  and started walking around she said her back hurt. The ambulance came back and took her in, hope she is okay.There were no skid marks I don't think, she had to have been accelerating when she hit me. Bad intersection, has needed a 4 way stop for years, but it is a state highway and not happening...UUgh!! It could have been much worse but this SUCKS....REALLY GOD??? Haven't I proved I am strong already this summer (separated from husband, 3 weeks later BC diagnosis) now THIS???
