Hi everyone,
I was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer in both breasts in April 2002. I had a bi-lateral mastectomy, 4 rounds of AC, 4 rounds of taxol, 33 radiations and 3 month recalls. Last week I found a lump around my collarbone. I had a fine needle biopsy and it turned out to have cancer cells. Since then, everything has been going so fast. I had a CT scan today of the pelvis, abdomen, and head, and next week I have a bone scan and the out-patient surgery for a port. Then I will start chemo (herceptin if I turn out to be strongly 3+ and taxotere.) I have gone from a II to a IV and my head is spinning. The doctor seems to think he can put this into remission and I know I have to stay positive, but wow! This is alot to handle. Any encouraging words would help.
Thanks for listening.
Shelley
