Stage III Chemo questions

mcsushi

hi everybody!!! so i'm new to this whole forum thing so please be patient with me. i'm single, 31, see below for dx specs. i got my dx 2/8/10, bilateral masectomy 3/22/10, preparing for chemo to start in may. up until now, i haven't really reached out to other survivors for support. the further i get into my treatment, the more i'm realizing i need that support...

right now i'm having hard time trying to decide on which clinical trial to pick. i have a choice between tc tac +- avastin study or ac -->t +- avastin study. any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. thank you, thank you...

Hi mcsushi,

I just wanted to say best of luck to you. I, for one, cannot inform you about any trials but I just wanted to say hello and that you have people pulling for you here. Even if you do not hear from all of them who read your post; you will be in their hearts forever. Hopefully someone will help you with the trial info soon. Remember, the decision you make is yours. Don't second guess; think positive as much as you can. I spent my 50th year fighting breast cancer. I too was stage III. I live in Lancaster County, PA...your neighbor! I had chemo first, then a single mx with radiation to follow. After the mx I was declared Cancer Free! I finished radiation the end of January.

Please ask for help. I know that it can be very hard to do but your loved ones will be glad if you ask them something specific. It gives them something to do to be there for you. Sometimes a perfect stranger may be the one to make your day. When I was going thru chemo I was SO THANKFUL for the chemo nurses. They were the absolute best. I fell in love with each and every one of them!  

So, keep asking for help when you need it...and sometimes if you don't. Take one day at a time. You are so young dear one. There are others your age here too. I hope you find them or they find you!

May loving, healing light flow thru you and around you, protecting you. Peace.
