Doc felt enlarge lymph node
Hi,
I had an appt. today with my onc. She felt an enlarged lymph node just above my collar bone on the side of my breast cancer. I can hardly feel anything, but I'm no doc. She discontinued xeloda until we get results from upcoming CT, bone, and muga scans. I will also be having a mamogram as she also found a small nodgle in my real breast.
She will hopefully get the o.k. to start me on tykerb and xeloda once we get results.
Please pray for me.
Love Lu Ann

I hope you start the xeloda/tykerb soon. I am having great results with it now, if I can tolerate the side effects of diarrhea. hugs, Sandy

Lu ann, I hope your doc is just being overzealous. Good thoughts coming your way!
And what a cute calico. I just love calico girls.

LuAnn, prayers said.I hope there's not too many trials ahead. Someone on this site beautifully said fear and faith can't occupy the same space so try the faith. I know it's harder when your're the one that has to implement these thoughts. You can do it. Best of luck. BB

Liz, Rhonda, Girls, Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers.
Sandy, I didn't have any diarhea with the xeloda alone, so hopefully I won't have it with the combo. Glad you are doing well with this combo. Keep it up!
Bev, I know it can be hard, but I just keep reminding myself that Faith comes from God and fear comes from the evil one.
Marjorie, Thanks for the compliment on my sweet kitty, Millie. She is an ornery little thing, only likes me. My oldest daughter rescued her from the wild 8 years ago so she is still a little skidish. She hisses and spits at her shadow if it gets in her way.
I forget that some of you get pictures of us on the message boards. I don't, unless I go to the membership site.
I don't have my appts. yet, but will let all of you know when I am going.
Love and Blessings to You All
Love, Lu Ann
