    thank you everyone! My MO said it may just be age related but wants to make sure especially since I've had some cognitive issues. I know I'm not out of the woods completely but at least it's not what I was fearing!

    Stupidboob, Cocker, and all others who answered my port question-thank you!  I think I will probably keep it for awhile as it doesn't bother me at all.  Cocker-sorry yours went wonky, but glad you were finished with it!

    slv58, so glad you got good news!  Hope your neuro appointment also brings more good news.

    To everyone who has had to have MRI's - hope they all came out well.  I had one once and it wasn't fun!

    Had Taxol #6 yesturday.  It's getting a little easier.  But now I'm getting dis colored fingernails.  They feel funny, so I'm hoping they hang on.  Fatigue is my biggest issue right now.  I'm wondering if it is the chemo or my ridiculously high resting heart rate.

    Wishing you all well.  Hugs, lilyrose

    From a fan. Good advice--I'm sure most parents would agree.

    Brilliant news Shari.  You showed cancer where to go.  Hopefully the problem will only be aged related.

    Lillyrose I'm so glad it made you giggle.  It always helps me to laugh as well but I'm so sorry you are feeling down.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you. Big warm hugs xx

    Lilyrose - I just finished Taxol/Carbo and can totally relate to your post. My fingernails are discolor and I'm losing a toenail. I also have had a very high heart rate and major fatigue. I hope the rest of your treatments go by quickly for you! Hang in there!

    Slv58,

    Soooo happy your NED. 

    As to frontal lobe, that's why I going to neuro too.  Headache starts in that area first for me. My massages have relieved it a lot. Had second massage yesterday & came home drank lots of water, rested, ate dinner & went to bed. Slept from 9:00 to 8:00 this morning. 

    My memory (short term) is shot. I write everything down. Even though I only had two doses of A/C I can tell the difference it left me with. Residual chemo brain is one. After all it is a poison we are injected with. Non discriminatory too. So all areas of our bodies are affected. Each of us in different ways. Therefore, AKA "Our New Normal"! It sucks. They need to find a target specific way to attack our cancer. 

    I go to neurologist on 23rd. She is specialist in headaches. Will keep posted on her findings, etc on me. 

    In reference to Inspired:  I have tried to contact her. No reply. I hope she has not abandoned us. We need all views, opinions & info we can get. She contacted me when I first joined & was so helpful giving me info. Hope to hear from her soon. 

    Best to all,

    Marsha

    To all of our ladies that have gotten the good news we've all been praying for, congratulations!  Soooooo happy for all of you :)

    Cocker - You made me laugh out loud at my desk this morning.  All were good, but I LOVED the pretzel dog picture!  Great way to kick off my Friday.  Thank you!

    Two weeks until I leave for Mexico (Playa Del Carmen) for my niece's 10 year anniversary vow renewal.  I'm so looking forward to 8 days of toes in the sand with my entire family.  Life is good :)

    Happy Friday to all,

    Kathy

    WOO HOO Shari!!! What a way to kick off the weekend!!

    I know chemo has ruined my short term memory as well. My husband jokes that I have early Alzheimer's! I do, and will continue to blame all my memory and "saying stupid things" issues on chemo brain...forever!! No sense in saying I'm just getting older!

    I also contacted Inspired a few weeks ago and didn't hear back from her.  I'm sorry she is not around, she had a lot to offer and was very helpful to me.

    Inspired seems to disappear for a few months and then comes back!

    I am so flipping happy it's Friday.  It's been a long week and hoping for a restful weekend!

    Hello TN sisters!  New here - actually I've skimmed the boards for awhile, but just now joined.  Tomorrow will be one year from my diagnosis.  I'm feeling good, just not like I felt before being bombarded with all those toxic chemicals.  I'm thankful they did what they were supposed to do, but now I'm really more interested in a more natural and organic approach to wellness.  I'm seeing a new nurse practitioner who practices "functional medicine" and has started me on several vitamin/mineral supplements as well as recommending a low-glycemic/epi-paleo diet.  Not sure exactly what that means yet - much to learn.  Anyway, just wondering if any of you are doing anything similar.  Oh, and I still see my oncologist and breast surgeon every 6 months.  So far, so good!  Also, anybody have pain in their wrist and hands?  My doctors aren't concerned, but I never had any pain before.  Think it may be tendonitis.  I'll ask again when I go back in August.

    mom2, thanks for joing us. And congrats on 1yr out! Looking at your stats, you did rads, then chemo then surgery?? Seems like an unusual sequence. I love the idea of a natural approach to wellness and survivorship. And I've heard of the paleo/low glycemic diet and I'm sure others will weigh in on it. There's also the metformin I'm considering with my MO. But it's not a natural approach, it's a diabetes drug that has shown to decrease recurrence rate in tnbc. Ask your nurse about it and would like yo see what she thinks. Will start on it, if I want, after my next visit with her in aug. She wanted me to finish with rads before starting. Welcome to this board and forum

    Mom2two..I'm also using a natural approach moving forward.  Lots of juicing, organic foods, probiotics, exercise.  I am also doing metformin which is not natural, but was prescribed by my MO.  She also checks my Vit. D level.  I keep it on the high end (78 at last check).  Glad you are here.

    simplelife...We love Crossville!  Wish we were on that side of the state!  I'm on high dose Vit. C and Vit. D. along with a couple of other supplements.  Pretty much all organic and I juice some too.  Will go back to my NP end of August to get results of the multitude of tests she ran, and will definitely ask about the Metformin.  Glad to have found this support system!
