Breast Cancer


May 207


Stage 2


Grade 2


No


Yes


Lumpectomy


yes


Arimidex


That the world gets smaller and more people have it.


That all my ancestors who died were very brave in their fight


Keep me laughing


Feeling sometimes bitchy I put that down to arimidex. I hate the revisiting of menopause, night sweats, etc. Sometimes I just feel tired and can’t keep up.


Lumpectomy May 2007. No side effects. Recouperated really well. My scars are barely noticeable. But one breast is slightly smaller. Hard to tell since I am a DD, but I can.


Sept-Oct. 07. 26 treatments went well. Yes tired but not too much. Glad it is over. Hardly any burning. Used Lubriderm cream all the time; that helped.


Pamidronate or otherwise known as Aredia. Used for mestasis to spine. Given via IV monthly. Tired, headache next day after treatment and diarrehia. Bones still ache New treatment just started without I.V.


Arimidex taken at night. Started treatment Aug. 07. Sleep deprived, night sweats, bones ache, sometimes tired, always hungry.

PBS PROGRAMME ON CANCER. A MUST SEEViews: 244

I was channel surfing the other night and fell upon an inspiring programme on PBS. If you haven’t seen it here is the address:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/takeonestep/cancer/video-ellerbee_01.html

This is a round table of Doctors, mostly, who are living with Cancer and still treating their patients. It will give you inspiration and enlightenment. I hope you all view this when you have 15 spare minutes. There is nothing like learning while we take our walk on this wild ride. Take care everyone. Let me know if you watched it.
Weezie from Canada eh.

Hi Weezie….yes, I watched the video. Parts of it were interesting. It does make a person feel better to stop and realize that doctors are human and they deal with the same issues daily that we go thru. I agree with alot of what was said. Thanks for sharing…...Judy
