Hi, I'm the original post on this thread and since choosing only the lumpectomy in 2019 I've had 2 screening per year. A 3D mammo and a breast ultrasound done 6 months apart. My GYN & BS each see me yearly, also 6 months apart. That will continue for a full 5 yrs. My insurance has covered their part of all testing.
I was glad to see you had the Oncotype done. That test made all my tx discussions and ultimate decisions much easier as it came back with a very low risk of recurrence. So far so good, though I do still hold my breath until each test comes back clear. Assuming all goes well, after 5 years, I was told the GYN & mammo will continue yearly and BS & US would be every other year.
Hope that helps! Reply back with any other questions or concerns. Best of luck.

If you figure out how to get through the medical PTSD, please write a book. You'll make a small fortune. I'm so very sorry you are here, dealing with this again. My PTSD has never left me and of course, the older we get, the more crap comes up. I sometimes feel my brain will explode and I'll die from stress. What a lovely thought...NOT.
We're all here for you and do post updates. We'll be nail biters together.

Hi all. My first PT session went well. She said I had "good insurance." I'm going to have a total of 8 sessions. I did my first "home exercises" yesterday, and I can feel it a bit today. Not sore, but can feel it in a good way. I must be in really sorry shape (auto-fill wanted to say GOOD shape LOL) to be feeling it after such a mild exercise. Oh well. I'm glad to have a program with some accountability. I can log in daily to report what I've done. I think that will be good for me and will keep me on track. Truth be told, I'd rather just have it magically work without any effort on my part.
DH needs some bloodwork today so I'm going to get my C2 x-ray done at the same time. Neurosurgeon wants flexion and extension views along with the MRI before I see him again.
I got my pedicure yesterday. It's my treat to myself and DH doesn't have to cut my toenails for me. I still can't easily reach my feet, although I am finding ways to dry my feet after my shower and ways to get my socks on my feet. I wear slip on shoes from Easy Spirit. No laces and they give good support.
Candy, I hear you! I'm sorry to hear about Anne. I have this feeling in my gut that I'm progressing. It's like a little something here and a little something there all add up to that feeling. Nothing is alarming, but you all get it. I was looking at my most recent blood work and my tumor markers are climbing. Still within normal, but higher than they've ever been. I know that some MOs don't put much weight into tumor markers, but it's just one more thing to have on my mind.
mel, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better each day. I'm always so thankful for the nights when I sleep well. Last night I woke up to the pouring rain. It was actually nice to hear.
Love and hugs to all,
Carol
BTW, I got a really nice email back from the insurance agent. I thought she'd be peeved with me over all the Medicare questions, and then not buying any plans for now. She wasn't and wished me well. She even said "God bless" which I know some people just use so flippantly, but it somehow meant a lot coming from her.
OK, one more comment, speaking of "God bless." We used to have this custodian at our church. He would leave sort of nasty and poorly spelled notes around the church, something like this:
"Please stop doing XXY. Your wracking our floors. God bless." Every note ended with "God bless" no matter how angry he was. His spelling was atrocious and when he left one of the pastors of the church with whom we share our property said that it was a "blessing of absence." I hope no one ever says that about me!
Now I'm done.

sunshine~ I am finally coming around. The symptoms have almost all gone and my sleeping has improved some. Thank you for asking. I am always reading. And thinking of you ladies. Even the lurkers. I hope your day was a good one. Or at least ok.

I had pink cheeks and a rash from steroids, which also made my face puffy. My MO reduced the steroids a bit but basically said it would resolve when I was done with chemo, and it did. I also had the twitching eye thing but I don't believe there's anything they can do about that; it was annoying but didn't hurt or anything. I agree that your doctor should be listening to you. Maybe you need to tell her that you don't feel "heard", or start looking for a new doctor. Good luck to you.

Hugs, Petite. Love the cat.
I empathize with the frustration and anger that our elected politicians refuse to try to do anything about the gun violence. Mary hit the nail on the head. No politician wants to make his big donors unhappy. One plus in the horrible Nashville shooting was the police response. I admire those brave officers.
I wore contact lenses for many years, the hard contacts because of my astigmatism. Spring was agony when the pollen would get into my eyes. After cataract surgery at age 59, I didn't wear contacts or glasses except for readers until recent years. Now I wear glasses that sharpen my vision except for around the house.

Pbsoup- I know nothing about radiation to liver- someone else can chime in about that . I think if you can stay on Xeloda longer I would do that- was able to stay on it for another year after radiation to my hip-
I am on Enhertu since October and it has been very tolerable for me. hair loss, nausea for a few days controlled by zofran. Mostly GI issues- different each cycle. it has made me stable and TMs going down slowly. Hoping it works until the next great treatment.
I like the idea of staying as long as you can on a treatment - hoping that newer treatments will be approved and available before you need them.
