BC Husbands and Boyfriends Hangout

Kevin,

A beer or 3 sounds great! Keep me posted on when yall get down here, and we'll definitely have some. 

By the way, I am curious as to Lori's radiation.  From what I've gathered from our consults so far, Lee is to be getting radiation once a day for six weeks (weekends off), though I know many IBC patients at MDA are prescribed 2x per day.  I wonder why Lee isn't?

K-Dog and Notsopuny,

Good luck to you both as you go through post-surgery.  I haven't been on here in a while, but this is where my journey started and we are now just past our 2 year date since her initial surgery to remove the cancer.  Zolodex shots are now on a monthly basis for another year along with the Tamoxofin.  Other than the side effects of the drugs, life appears to be going well.  Like both of you we are trying to move on with life.  Cancer was such a big thing for us (a Wall St. Journal article, self-help groups for other husbands, etc), but in our case we found many great friends (some who have survived and others we've lost) and they showed us a greater appreciation for the journey we've traveled.

 Please feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions.

Erik

Is there anyone in this forum who is a BC Husband?

I am a BC husband.  I come on here occasionally and would be happy to answer any questions based on my experience.  My wife finished her radiation a year ago (she is Stage 3B with almost all lymph nodes infected).  She just had her first PET scan posted treatment on Monday, and I think we will get the results tomorrow.  I can't tell you how worried I am, both for her and for our family.
