Surgery Thurs. the 4th

Hello Everyone,

In the skeem of things going on here lately.. With the passing of our dear friend Brenda and all of our stage IV sisters trials (especially Sheila) I humbaly come to you for prayers. I am finally having a free tram flap surg. tomorrow after 4 awfull surgeries where the surg.s actually told me how sorry they were! I don't know that I feel any better going into this one though it will be all me this time and I won't have any more trouble with foriegn objects in me. So if I can be so bold as to ask for prayers I would so appreciate every one of them. Thank you my sisters. You are all in my prayers.

Age 54, married farm wife/school nurse/mom of 5 adult children...March 2012- found 2.5cm hard, non-painful mass on bse. It was not there, and then it was. Yikes.
Biopsy- DCIS, IDC, er-/pr-/her2+++, grade3. 1 node suspicious on us. Biopsy +.
Plan was for Neoadjuvant TCH x6, Herceptin q3w x a year.
May1- first chemo.
May 5- I could no longer feel the mass. Really. Neither could my oncologist.
July 2- 4th TCH- Oncologist cancels last 2 tx due to "complete response"
August6- lumpectomy with axillary node dissection. No disease present in breast. 1 out of 14 nodes + (4mm)
MUGA #2- 72%
Finished 30 rads Oct '12. Mild lymphedema noticed when I had 2 rads left.
Continue Herceptin q3w until next May
April '13- first mammo since surgery- calcium deposits that are " not concerning." Well, they are concerning to ME! Turned loose from surgeon for 6 months! One more Vit H, will make plans then for port removal.
Oct '13- no change in calcium deposits. "See ya in 6 months!" Keeping port for now.
March '14- oncologist says return in 6 mo.
April '14- mammo unchanged. Surgeon will see me in 6 months but no mammo for a year unless something changes. Its getting easier, but oh, boydo i hate that scanxiety! Keeping port until 2 year anniversary of last Herceptin.
Sept'14- bloodwork good, return to onco in 8 months.
Oct'14- surgeon will see me in April '15. Moving on.
May '15- mammo unchanged, keeping same schedule. Tumor markers soon and if all is well port comes out.
July '15-tumor markers normal. See onco in a year. Appt. for port end of month. First grandchild born July 1st- for today, life is good.

Re: Surgery Thurs. the 4th

Nancy,
Still praying, and hoping that you are getting stronger every single day. Don't be shy, take the pain meds! This is the sort of pain it's best to stay ahead of...rather than chase after once it gets bad.
Gentle hugs, and lots of love coming your way
Denise

Re: Surgery Thurs. the 4th

Hi Everyone, Thank you each and everyone of you for your thoughtfullness, prayers and support. I write this with a very heavy heart and great saddness that Sheila has hospice now. As I'm sure everyone else is feeling. Chatting through email with her daughter Jen, what a wonderful woman Jen is Her little heart is braking having so many crosses to carry right now. I'm not sure she can really see just how much of her mothers strength she carries with her everyday. Gods blessings to Sheila, Jenn, and your wonderful family. They are all being carried in Jesus' hands. I don't know of a better place to be. I'm so darn mad I can hardly stand it. Peace my Friends( I am doing fine.)
