JaneG

Hi there! We seem to have very similar situations. I am 63 with the same diagnosis. I am soon to finish radiation. I am at 25 with 9 to go. I had a lumpectomy with 1 out of 3 sentinel nodes positive. My Oncotype score was 14. I had to get a second opinion to skip chemo because my oncologist wanted me to be in a trial with randomization whether to have chemo and A1 or just A1 alone. I did not want to have chemo if it was of little benefit. I will start Arimadex in several weeks. How are you doing with the A1? Which one are you on?

Just checking in...we just got back from a delightful cruise out of Boston to Bermuda...nice to go and nice to get back to all my friends here...take care.

So happy to learn that your radiation is over and done with and you are on to the next step! Keeping you in my thoughts...fondly, Gabba

Hi JaneG, how are you? You must be winding down on your radiation sessions and I pray you are doing well...keep in touch...any concerns, questions? Thinking of you and sending my best wishes.

Jane, you are most welcome...I shall keep you in my thoughts and prayers...don't forget to find something to laugh about every day...two friends, long-time breast cancer survivors, gave me that advice and it really helped...also get a copy of Cancer Vixen from the library or buy a copy, I read a bit of it every day at radiation and, while a journey through one woman's diagnosis and treatment, it made me laugh, I also watched Jerry Seinfeld every night on reruns and that helped too! Good luck, my new friend.

Hi Jane. I just began my radiation yesterday. Chemo was finished in mid December; then I had a mastectomy on January 31st. I'll be having 30 radiation treatments in total. I hope you continue to do well with your treatment as it's laid out for you. Where do you live, Jane? I live in Florida. I wish you well and God Bless...
