    Val,

    The failure rate of implants, pain and infection issue overall definitely has me concerned. I speak to a PS on Friday so will focus the discussion on the other reconstructive methods and possibility of doing them later. Or, after lumpectomy, the path report might indicate mastectomy anyway so at least I will be prepared for what I must do.

    So grateful for all of the writers on these boards and those who have given feedback to me, it is very helpful and building my confidence in making the right decision.

    Congrats to all with good news.....

    Prayers for all those who are "sitting in uncertainty" on level of care and prognosis.....especially for Annie.

    Gotta count our blessings each day, heck, maybe each moment. :)

    Hi All,

    I haven't posted in a while, but I come on from time to time to read through the thread. Things are going good for me, I'm 3 and a third years out now.

    Cocker, I was so sorry to read about your SCLC diagnosis. I hope they have been able to help you with your mouth sores so you can get the bombs down. It sounds like you like your new MO. That's a big help. Congratulations on your soon-to-be GREAT grandmother status. That's something to look forward to. I hope you can get a picture of the four generations together.

    Ally, I'm absolutely thrilled with your baby news. So exciting!! Best news ever.

    Wishing everyone going through treatment or tests smooth sailing.

    Happy Holidays!

    Hello all,

    I've just had my 3rd and final FEC infusion yesterday, feeling a little woozy, so many old and new post chemo meds to take.

    I miss Miss Annie. I hope all her mouthsores and other problems are gone so she can take her meds. Praying for her.

    Miss Annie, I invited someone to do the Indian Healing Dance for you... Hope you like him!

    Hi Batesburg,

    Thank you. Actually, the FEC is only the first half of my chemo regimen. My next three infusions will be Docetaxel on a 21-day interval.

    As for Pres. Trump, I think he has the whole world on his shoulders now. He is certainly a potential great leader but he should have more patience on his many detractors. He should act quickly on many basic issues like health insurance, education and foreign relationships.

    Here in our country, we also have a newly elected leader who seems to have quite a weird way of handling things. He is very popular among the masses but also quickly gaining influential enemies here and abroad. I am anxiously looking forward as to what will happen to the long-time friendship between America and the Philippines under these two unique leaders. I wish for the better!

    I hope you're doing ok with your health Batesburg. What's your chemo regimen? Your sig line says your dx was 2015 and by now, you should be done with your treatment, if you had it.

    Ok, see you around friend.

    Merry Christmas in advance.

    Gina

    Hi all

    Just wanted to quickly share some research from a journal article that has been passed my way. I've currently got the little one asleep on me and am on the mobile, so will keep this short and will post properly after Christmas once I've digested the article (and lots of turkey!). Its appears that there is a significant survival benefit to TNBC patients taking aspirin or anti-platelets drugs post therapy. The numbers were quite small, but the effect was very clear. Long term aspirin use does have associated problems, but is obviously a widely used drug and indeed we tell many patients with heart disease to take aspirin on a regular basis.

    Anyway, I will have a good read through and post something more detailed info in a few days.

    Lots of love to you all and a very merry Christmas.

    Tom

    happy holidays to all. Hope the new year is good to us all.

    Tom I'm very interested in the article you mentioned and am looking forward to you sharing more. I have the repeat of my 6mo mamo next month (my July scan showed some fibrosis) and see my mo right after and would like to ask about this.

    Merry Christmas to everyone .. enjoy tonight's feast and party. . Wishing you all the best for a long long time. To the ones intreatment good luck with it.. wishing it will kick butt to this cancer and the ones in remission wishing that you are completely cured from this now.

    Tom.. thanks for sharing about aspirin.. I had read that too.. I have been taking aspirin everyday for about 4 months now 100mg a day. I also started metformie too 1500mg a day.

    My onc didon't proscrib them to me but I met with diabetologist who did.

    Shopgal.. hope this is nothing at all.. if it is a repeat most likely it's nothing .. doc wanting to be 200% sure it's nothing.

    Best of luck and fun to everyone. .. once again let's live as best as we can the life we still have!

    lovesgreenthing: if you get high-dose biweekly taxol (or any taxane-class drug) beware. It can cause permanent neuropathy in feet and/or hands. A fairly recent study posted by moderators showed that weekly regular dose taxol had same effectiveness and was much less likely to cause neuropathy.

    Hugs,

    Peggy
