Hey Jodi....Are you doing anything to heal your body and build up your immune system?
Check out this site below AND his face book page. I have some ideas at my Journey and Profile Page.

There is a wonderful new book to check out called RADICAL REMISSION....by Kelly Turner PhD. Hope you don't mind me suggesting these alternate things to TRY but it sounds like you need extra help.

Use every tool you can. Our immune system was designed to handle this problem and maybe it just needs some tweaking and extra support. WE need to part of the TEAM..
Good Luck!

I am not sure how to reply to posts, but you have had about the same surgery I plan on. I believe that mine will not involve removing muscle as recovery is as quick as 3 weeks.

Must cancer was caught very early and my decision is to remove both breast and all breast tissue - or as much as the surgeon can remove. Does that mean I won't be part of this group? I am having trouble finding my place in the world. I feel that I am in the eye of a tornado and all I know is been spun away out of my control. I feel wrong being upset, I have caught it early and I am not going through all the tests and treatments. I just feel so out of place and very tired.

I see you live in NY - so do I. I live in north Manhattan and am being treated at Columbia Presbyterian -Radiation Oncology team there is super, I hope yours is too. The nurses were very helpful and proactive.

I have to learn to navigate this site! I don't know how to respond to comments! I get lucky but most of the time I don't have a clue!!!

Thank you. that is what I was feeling, embarrassed that I am having it relatively easy that I would be whining when I should be praising. I like this sight and will be here. I will explain how going when you should and not putting it off can save a lot of grief. I must admit I put my check ups off my months (2 times a year exams) but thank God I didn't just not go at all. Now I am losing breasts but I will live to see my grandsons get older. I am a blessed person. Thank you for making me feel right about being here and sharing.
