Re: Cancer is back...I just knew it.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I know everything is a blur right now. I had a chest wall recurrence also. Even though rads are out, you can do hyperthermia with chemo on the chest wall area. I think there are trials now doing this. So they would give you chemo (doxil, I think) and heat up the chest wall area to make the chemo more effective. Just another option.
Hang in there. I now it's not easy. Like Julie said, I too, just wanted the cancer gone so I jumped quickly into treatment. But it is really hard to think under the circumstances. Explore all your options.
I know that life is easier on my husband when he can keep his mind on work and not on my cancer. Maybe your husband was just trying to cope with the news. Still, It's doesn't make it any better for you.
Holding you close in thoughts and prayers,
Tonya
