Mary Jo NE PA/BiPolar
 

Stage 1
Node involvement 0

Tch n q3x6
Ac 2x4
T 2x4

I can't understand what he wrote, this is what I could make out.

Had one node removed no more surgery.

Herpecin x1 yr.

Hormone and Radiation..No clue what comes when.

The Dr. in Hershey told me that the nodes or size of tumor didn't matter because everything will be treated the same as HER2.

I am also BiPolar. Does anyone else have this disorder and getting treatment?

Thanks,

Mary Jo

Hi,

I guess I should talk to my Dr. because there are so many "Natural" drugs that I can't take. Including vitamins.

Yes, Mary Jo, you need to be very careful about what you take, and even the foods that you eat can interact with chemo, and/or expose you to bacteria that are dangerous. Stage 1, 0 nodes is good, and it sounds like you will be getting fairly aggressive treatment. I have "regular" depression, and breast cancer doesn't make it easier. Please make sure your oncologist knows about your disorder and medications, and that your psychiatrist gets all the info about your cancer treatment.

Thank you for your response. All of this is happening so fast it's a world wind that keeps me busy. Which is good.

Hi Mary Jo and it sounds like you'll be busy for a while and just wanted to wish you well with your treatments! :)

Re: Mary Jo NE PA/BiPolar
 

Thanks for your responses. My oncologist said I will continue my meds..Phew that was good news. Also I am her2+ ER+ PR+
0 node involvement, 1 cm tumor. I am so happy that new therapies are available to me. It will be a long road hopefully with positive results. Brain scan is next..Chemo on June 5th. Away I go !!!!

Hugs,

Mary Jo
