Well hello everyone. I was diagnosed again in July. Triplenegative, just in the lymph nodes under my clavicle. I'm on Gemzar and Carbo. I just need some hope today. Usually I am able stay positive, today I am scared. Thank you in advance for positive input. Hugs...

    I too had cancer back in my lymph nodes in the middle (inframammary?) and with Abraxane, 3 cycles, totally gone. I've been NED for 7 months and now hoping to hit 1 year mark. The cancer can go as fast as it comes with the right drugs. Here's hoping your cocktail kicks butt. (Not yours).

    That's exactly where my cancer recurred, started as estrogen positive, morphed to Triple Negative as well. I have had 6 rounds of taxotere. I have had amazing results, and all the nodes in my lymph and everything in my lungs but one big tumor is gone. I think the nature of chemo and the chemicals involved play havoc on my naturally faithful spirit and nature, I have to work hard to not go to negative when I am in the first week of the aftermath of chemo for sure. One of the books I am reading caught my eye the other day, it says we have to "Hold Onto Your Faith" ...we have to hold onto the positive things we are learning and realize that there has to be an up and down, and there will be an up. I am sorry you are having to deal with this, my heart is there for you, I will say a prayer for you and all our sisters...

    Hi, how did you find a recurrence on your nodes? I don't want to hijack your post, but of course, I worry all the time. Hopefully you will have the same response as winningsofar....fingers and toes crossed for you. Thanks. Jen

    Thanks for the well wishes Jenwith4kids--it's hard not to wait for the other shoe to drop, so to speak. I am thankful for your post--I actually felt a node that popped up behind my collar bone, in that little hollow there between the neck and shoulder, on the same side as my mastectomy. It was really hard to find twice, so i feel blessed that I felt it at all. The Lord is in charge---

    Paula, I found mine the same way! And I do have faith, I'm a Christian. But there are days I start thinking about my kids and then, well, you know, it's very hard. Thanks everyone for responding.
