Hello everyone and thank you for all your lovely supportive replies to my introduction to Breast Cancer.

Yippeee!!! I have no further metastasies!!!

I did begin chemo on Wednesday and I am sure like many others before me, I am hating it. Although my oncologist has remained suprised that with the aggressive and size of my cancer that no metastasies were found, I believe that with my treatment, any miniscule cancer cell wanderers will be eliminated. I can only hope and pray for this because I believe that I have a purpose for our future generations to raise awareness on the vigilance of breast checks!!!.

Thank you to all the wonderful people who help raise this awareness, help fund research and beat this!!!

Please remember: 'EARLY DETECTION CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE'

Have a great day!!

Your Chemo Experiences?

Vicki,

Thank you for letting us know how things are going.

What have your chemo experiences been like so far?

Please share so others can learn.

Also, if you'd like to write a Chemo-Diary for women to read, please do so. That would be very helpful.

You're in my thoughts!

Todd

Diary

Hi,
I agree that a Chemo Diary would be a great idea! I know so many women that have gone through this and are still battling the cancer and hearing possitive stories like this can really help the way they look at the future.
