Hi Linda, Had second chemo yesterday and so far, so good. Will go for Nulasta shot (white blood cell pick-er-upper) tomorrow. It was after that last time that I had a few bad days so am hoping for better luck this time. Shaved my head and am wearing scarves/hats for the most part. Did pick up a wig but that will only be for when I really need to look "normal". Hope the radiation is going ok and that some of the fatique is lifting. I have to admit that that is also one of the toughest parts of the chemo. Maybe just that we are a bit older. I don't know but even going up and down our stairwell is a whole new experience.
Take good care.
Mary Beth
It will be nice when the humidity lifts tomorrow.

I was diagnosed 3 months ago. Female, Age 55. Stage 1, Her2 Negative; ER Negative; PR Negative. I'm currently in treatment, chemo and then radiation, in CA. When treatment is completed I plan to move to Williamsville, NY where my son now lives. Where is Honeoye Falls in relation to Williamsville?

Hi LindaJD, you are going to find new friends here, you just haven't met us yet! Please check in often...you can ask questions, express concers, vent frustration...the folks her "get it", we have been in your shoes, and while we all have different experiences, we do have many of the same feelings going through all of this...I wish you good luck and God bless!

Sorry you were diagnosed with cancer, but I am glad you found your way here. This is a great place to come when you have a question. I am a year and a half from my diagnosis and a year since treatment ended, but I check in every day. While my family and friends have put my struggle behind them and we no longer talk about "when I was sick," I find it therapeutic to read what others are going through and offer a few words of encouragement when I can. I hope you are discovering that courage and inner strength that is in you as you move forward.

Hi. It looks like you were recently diagnosed and are pretty new to this web site. It's a really wonderful group of people - very kind, helpful and supportive. We're here for you. Take care.
