    I met with my onc today to revisit my benefit from chemo.  3% - I am struggling with this.  The chemo isn't so bad, it is whether or not I should be doing it that is hounding me.

    Gonna need more chocolate :)

    RCG...I might be asking the same questions but this chemo is for 6 months long and how often?

    Is radiation coming next?

    how many TX did you have so far?

    Six months, I have two done.  On day 1, I go for infusion and begin cytoxan pills.  On day 8, I go for infusion and continue the cytoxan pills through day 14.  Then I am off.  Radiation is next and then aromitase.

    I read on the oncotype website that less than 10% of women with early stage BC have any benefit from chemo.  Think about the thousands of women doing chemo and less than 10% will have value from doing so.   I am mulling it over some more and will come to a conclusion soon, I hope.

    I wonder if I wasn't HER2+ still they would've treat me aggressively.

    I see other sisters they go straight to radiation.

    I wonder if another Oncologist would used a different approach.

    Hey its too late for me. What's done is done and I'm grateful to be here.

    I made an appt with a colon and rectal surgery doctor.  Sheila, remember way back I was complaining about the other end? My PCP office did see a hemorrhoid but I am still having issues, so I made an appt for Dec 1st.  If they have any cancellations before then like today she will call me, she put me on top of the cancellation list.  I explained the whole situation and she is right on top of everything.  This way I can rule out colorectal cancer, that can elevate the TM's on the CA 27-29.

    Deb....You are doing the right thing....

    I know your imagination is all over the place I really feel that fear.

    And yes you feel better if you are on the top everything.

    F#** this C and TM.

    It took so much out of us physically and emotionally.

    Its really not fair when everytime something is wrong with our bodies we have to go through this.

    Do you remember last year I had this pain in my breast and they were saying its nothing and i was almost refused to have US but I took matter in my own hand before I lost it completely and went to ER and had a US. it was nothing.

    HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    Peace

    If I wasn't afraid to get in trouble was gonna take multiple pictures at the Veggy Store.

    You name it they had it. They always carry of a good variety but today it was even more.

    Christmas Tree in the middle of the store and Xmas music playing and the crowd....

    If you are crazy like me you would enjoyed it so much.Smile

    Sheila, I got in big trouble taking pics in a store one time in London at Selfridges.  They had this beautiful backlit display of various alcohols in clear bottles, all lit beautifully and you could selfl-bottle small or any size quantity.  I thought it was really pretty, so I took a photo only to be accosted by two guards who confiscated my camera and chastised me relentlessly, for what, I do not know.  I was alone and quite scared and totally complied. The idiots deleted photo's of my son and a friend but failed to delete the pics they were so upset about:)  Travel post 9/11 just keeps getting worse.

    I'm back from the butt doctor, they called me cuz they had a cancellation today.  And I saw my BS to go over the MRI which I already knew that was fine.  But mentioned to her that I was concerned about the results and why were they like that cuz I am almost done tx.  She said anything can set off the numbers, infection, cold, STRESS (which I am under cuz of my Dad) and I mentioned to her about giving blood 8 days B4 the test and she said that could very well do it.  PHEW so this person is going to STOP worrying.  OH BTW, I had a scope put up my butt and I have 3 hemmeroids and 1 anal fissure.  He wants to see me in 3 weeks.  GOD IT NEVER ENDS, LOL.  get it ENDS.  Well, I better get my REAR in gear and go to Kohl's to find a Thanksgiving table cloth. BBL♥♥♥

    Let's hear some good butt jokes.  

    He gave me some Diltiazem & Lidocaine rectal gel and some rubber finger tips.  They look like baby condoms, LOL.  The prescription cost me 50 bucks and that is with my insurance and I may refill it 2 more times. YIKES.  

    Can you imagine, 3 hemorrhoid's and an AF.
