    Ellen here-

    I'm soing well after a bit of depression over having to hold off on chemo last Friday. My platlets were way too low for the first time ever. I was so excited to say only ONE MORE but it's holding at 2 Frown Next chemo this Monday and HOPEFULLY last one May 4th. Onc. is eliminating the platlet culprit of Carboplatin for my last tx so that I am assured good counts for surgery. I was on weekly treatments and am early stage so that big gun can be let up. YAY. Should at least make the last two more tolerable.

    Thanks for remembering me! Hope all my sisters here are well.

    Hey REKoz,

    I get my port the 29th and begin on your May, 4th finish day. Yay for you! Tongue out  I will be thinking of you.  Thanks for advice and support.  Maybe now you can get on with your daughter's wedding with a happy face. Laughing  Wishing everyone well!

    Well Ladies, I made it thru it...and they did numb me for the wire localization...she did the lumpectomy, said she removed like a spot around the size of a quarter to a half dollar, but she did it under my breast and said I would only have a slight dent...(Course they said after Chemo when I got my catscan that I had a 100% response and there was no cancer showing) took my port out, and removed 5 nodes...one of them they froze and said it was clean, whatever freezing does...sent the others and the tissue from lumpectomy out to a lab, should know something today or tomorrow.. Breast doesn't hurt at all, underarm hurts a bit, but man where they took the port out is killing me...Vicodeine helps. And of course I have a drain, ugh! (For the nodes) She tried to give me percocet, but they make me sick. SO GLAD THIS IS DONE...now to wait for radiation.
