Hi all,
I have been a lurker here for a few weeks, but finally feel that I needed to register to talk to my sister IBC'ers. I'm curious if I did it correct, I'm not sure if my log in name is what I wanted. Anyways, I ramble.
I was diagnosed April 04 stage lllb, er/pr- her 2 +++, I had 4 A/C's dose dense, 1 Taxol and started herceptin at that time, had a reaction to the taxol the next week (a rash on my thighs), then started weekly taxotere with herceptin, after 3 weeks, we added carbo, had 3 carbo, taxotere, herceptin's every three weeks, then bilat mast's, 1 more carbo, taxotere, herceptin, then started herceptin every 3 weeks, after healing from surg started radiation had 35 rad's, finished herceptin on 6-17-05 and had my port removed last week (yes, I'm temptineg the fates), but I am NED and plan on staying that way! And hope some day you all are too!
I just thought I'd also pass on, there are 2 other IBC chat areas you may want to look at.
www.ibcresearch.org and
www.ibcsupport.org.
Hope you all see healthier days,
Edie
