I don't go back to the BS until mid February and get another MRI. From the beginning all I have heard is chemo, ALND and rads. I am just not sure I want to do all that, especially since I fall into a category that there really is no standard protocol for. As all the doctors have said, I am not in the text books, not even in the back pages of special notes. They still can't decide if it is a recurrance or a new cancer even after taking a second look at the slides from 2000. Being "special" is not all it's cracked up to be! I also have an appt with my PS in February to find out what the implications of ALND and rads would be on the implants I already have. I would hate to loose them after all time, since I have come to accept them and made peace with them!
Faith is having the courage to let God have control.

Bren, so glad to read your news. I love to read good stuff like that!
PBrain, have a nice trip back to Philly. I know you have the Big D, and that sucks, but maybe it will stop & you can enjoy a cheese steak at Pat's or Gino's while you're home 
TonLee, catching up on all the posts - praying all turns out well. Sorry you're having to stress about this crap right before Christmas.
Cgesq, my center is in Philly, but there is a thread on here for NY/NJ/PA - not sure if you have seen it. You might get some good recommendations from some North Jersey or NY girls there.

Bren,
I was in the same boat as you, except you were further out than my 9 years when I had my 2nd diagnosis. They couldn't decide what to call mine either, but finally settled on a local recurrence b/c it was the same type of cancer, in almost the same spot. THis time I got Herceptin and rads, didn't the first time....Things change over the years, hopefully for the better!
2003 Stage 1 IDC, ER+, PR+, HER2+ with R MX, chemo w/CMF. Local recurrence 09/11, stage Ib, grade 2, ER+ 90%, PR+ 80%, HER2 + by FISH, 0/17 nodes, AC x 4, Taxol/Herceptin x 12, Hercpetin x 1 year, rads 33
Dx
9/15/2011, IDC, Right, 1cm, Stage IB, Grade 2, 0/17 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2-

Hello ladies. I just found out yesterday that I am triple positive. All the oncologist said about it was its better than triple negative. Gonna have my surgery in a few weeks and discuss treatment. Nervous but hopeful! You might even say positive ;)
It's snowing here today, I got to take my 4 month old out in the snow, she loved it!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum.... and I'm all out of bubblegum!!!

I had nipple reconstruction today & port out. Kinda hurts a lot more than I was expecting. Love when doctors say it won't hurt but you might feel "some discomfort" - that's when it usually does hurt! ha ha. Wondering what those who've had this reconstruction wore the first few weeks after the procedure? My PS said no bra or compression. I'm thinking cami's without the buit in bra and loose fitting clothes? Hate not wearing a bra for 2 weeks.

Welcome Mirmirpanda. I'm guessing you'll end out with TCH as the treatment.

Welcome Mimirpanda--good avatar--but thst's not why u'r here. Well u've come to a great thread==these women are awesome with their knowledge.
