Hi Lonie, I'm a late catcher-upper so I hope you don't mind me replying to your first mssage. I'm 44 (but young at heart) and have 2 kids (grown up), I was diagnosed in Nov with breast cancer, had surgery in Dec followed by in Feb 6 sessions of chemo and then 5 weeks of radio therapy from July. Your message said you were feeling low with only 1 chemo left to go - my 5th one was my worst one to, i cried, my veins collapsed, I just wanted out. But I had a wee chat to myself and told me to get a grip, I got the treatment (after several attempts to find a vein), escaped to the car, bawled my eyes out, slapped on a fresh coat of make-up and got on with it feeling much better. Accept you will have *** days, but you will also have good days (there is more of them than bad), I had my first check up a few weeks ago, only to be sent for a bone scan today, it's shown up a couple of shadows (hot spots), further investigation needed. This will not get me down, if I keep saying it often enough I might even believe it.............I'm typing this through blurry eyes, but by tomorrow I'll get a grip once more and forward into battle we will go.
Stay positive lovely lady, there's loads of us out here who will support you through this.
I just read your post and I to went throgh breast cancer and all the treatments, all seemed fine then goy the aches pains etc and found it hard to do things so my oncologist sent me for numerous tests last one being a bone scan, like yours it came back with what they call hotspots so further investigations were needed, well it turned out to be osteo arthritus it might be worth asking the question. Believe me I know how worried you must be put stay positive, let me know how you get on.
How are all you other lovely people doing, please get in touch soon
I've been reading your posts and just wanted to say HI to you all. This site has helped me a lot and not logging in for a while doesn't feel ok I had ny forth chemo (T) and I have never felt so bad. I was so positive and trying to stay strong but this time I just felt like I wanted to end this battle. I was in bed since Saturday and today is the first day that I manged to get up and get dressed. My wound is still open and it seams there is no end to this C**P. Sorry but I just hit the brick wall and I just want to scream.
I hope everyone else is ok sending you lots of love
Hi Maki, The Taxotere is awful, I hated it and ended up in hospital as I felt as though I was been trampled on, its horrid, but honestly now youve got the first session over with the last 2 arent quite so bad, not long to go now, keep positive babe xx
As I've said before, I always read your thread but don't often comment - simply because I'm not familiar enough with BC to post anything of value...however tonight I just wanted to say how much I really admire the way you all continually support each other. It's great to see that some long lasting, genuine friendships have been made here and I think you're all truly amazing ladies (and Tony - lol)
I am dreading the next one it will be the day after my birthday the 4th of November at least I can have a good day with my family. I didn't thought it will be easy but dear me it knocked me down completely. Thank you again and have a lovely day
Sorry to hear you were feeling bad after the last treatment you had, I also found that when I had the taxater I found it hard for a few days after, I felt my body was so heavy it was hard to move so I stayed in bed for days so it wouldn't hurt when I moved. I am going to be honest with you I found it worse the more treatments I had (4 of itaxeter in total) but on the brighter side I just remindefd myself that the pain was worth it as it was getting rid of any bad left in me.
Maki stay positive you will and can get through it.
Well how is every body else keeping, hope you all have a great weekend
