[ Post a Response | Breast Cancer Recurrences Board ]
Posted by susan1961 on 9/9/2007, 12:37 am I am very thankful that I can come here and post. It is a safe place for me, where I am surrounded by others who really know what it is like to be going thru all the a recurrence of cancer and all the cancer stuff. I have to share a message from a get well card that my sis-in-law gave me (I think the card company will forgive me....or maybe thank me, because maybe you will all go out and look for the card! Hint the card company has the sign of the crown and start with a H). : ) Anyhow here is what t says: If cancer were a person, I'd spit right in his eye... I'd tie his fingers in a knot and make him want to cry. I'd cover him with smelly stuff, then slug him on the chin, I'd knock him on his sorry butt and club him on the shin... I'd make his life so miserable, he'd finally have split, and that would be just fine with Me, 'cause cancer ain't work spit! Sending you all Hopeful and Healing Thoughts-Susan

Hey All- It has been awhile since I posted (8-26). The update for me, after being in the hospital for 8 days prior to 8-26, is that I was strong enough to get a power infuse-a-port placed in my chest last Wed. and did my second round of chemo on Thursday at a 25% reduction for the taxotere. Then I started on the oral Xeloda, at a 50% reduction. Arrrghhhh, I am feeling emotional and concerned about the doses being reduced on my chemo drugs, but my oncologists feels it is best to have some treatment, rather than me getting so sick and having to delay treatment and that does make sense to me. I just wish my body was able to better tolerate the drugs. My doctor is busy setting up scans for later in the month to see how these drugs are working. Let's hope and pray I am able to do better this round and stay out of the hospital!
