Re: Funny Cancer T-Shirts

__________________
DX Sept 30 2010 at the age of 49. Oh crap! 1.5 cm idc, stage 1 grade 3 er/pr+, her2+ no lymph nodes, mastectomy Oct/10. Started 6 rounds of TCH Dec/10 and will continue herceptin until Nov /11 and just started femara.
Stray kitten found my lump while I was playing with it. It is now my pet and my dog is not real happy about that.
Mammo good
last herceptin 11/21/11 YAY
reconstruction 12/09/11
Chapter closed 12/10/11, hopefully, fingers crossed
Bone scan, chest xray, clear

Re: Funny Cancer T-Shirts
Okay...
For those of you who have escaped the need for a mastectomy...sometimes, after reconstruction...they tatoo new "nipples" onto the reconstructed breast. Since I'm sitting here recovering from a double Mx...I thought this was a hoot!

Re: Funny Cancer T-Shirts
I like the eyebrow one. 18 months post chemo and I still have super thin eyebrows and virtually no eyelashes. Bleh!!

Re: Funny Cancer T-Shirts
Chemo ate my eyebrows!!! That reminds me of that Lady GaGa song, "...he ate my heart....that boy is a monster!" Cancer is a monster that eats our eyebrows (and nose hairs...).
