    Hi Diane - Me too, except I also was Grade 3.  I'm now almost 2 years out and going strong.  Did the bmx with t/e placement (with full Level I/II AND), 6*TAC chemo, and a delayed DIEP flap recon.  Now in my second year of Femara, I have a full head of hair again, and my last PET/CT scan showed No Evidence of Disease. If you're newly diagnosed, I won't kid you - the next year or so is not going to be a walk in the park, but you'll surprise yourself at how much strength you have.  You can do it.  Please let me know if you have any questions or just need to vent - I'm here.

    MOTC - next year has GOT to be better for the Nats!  But they sure ended the year in style, didn't they??

    I was the MLB Breast Cancer Honorary Bat Girl for the Nats this year for MLB's Breast Cancer Awareness Day in May.  They gave me a Nats jersey with a big pink ribbon on the back with "Bat Girl" on it, pink wristbands like the players wear that day, and I even got one of the pink Louisville Slugger Bats they use with my name engraved on it.  They also gave me Lexus level seats right behind home plate that the game, plus I got to go out on the field and was recognized in a pre-game ceremony.  I was up on that big scoreboard!!  I also got to meet and chat with a bunch of players, including John Lannan.  It was right after that when he started pitching so well, so I decided I must be the lucky charm!    Of course the other two players I got a chance to talk to were Jesus Flores and Austin Kearns, so maybe my lucky charm theory is lacking something.  Surprised

    I have to say that the Nats really treated me right - I felt like a queen for a day.  Then, to top it off, they even did a 2-page spread on me in the last program of the season.  It was a lot of fun.

    Hi Ladies,

    Me too.  Thanks for starting the thread.  I am almost finished chemo and trying to decide about radiation treatments.  Do any of you have any thoughts about radiation risks vs. benefits?

    I have a very similar diagnosis.  Diagnosed with Stage IIb, 2 cm, grade 1 and one node - that was 4 years ago.  I had surgery, chemo, radiation, ovaries removed, then Arimidex and now Femara.  So far so good.
