Glad to hear your great news. Can you tell me if you are on any medication post-chemo/radiation (assuming you had chemo and radiation). I have the same cancer as you (am also 69) and the same receptor findings. Just curious. I have been prescribed Arimidex (Anastrozole) Also, I was told by my PCP that I don't need a Pap smear anymore due to age and having 3 consecutive negative results. What have you been told re continuing to get them? Thank you.

Good morning. Trying to learn to navigate this site. My chemo went good this week and didn't get sick. Yay!

Hi, I was diagnosed first too. My X was walking his girlfriend's dogs, they saw a cat, and fell down some wooden beach steps. he lost and eye and broke his collar bone and shoulder. The scan showed that he had mesothelioma in both lungs. One was removed, they tried chemo--all it did was make him sicker, so he went into palliative care. Dead in 5 months. He was my only man. We were married for 37 years until he found a young blonde. I hear you loud and clear about the surprise of him passing first, when you think that your time has come.

Welcome to the site. I am sure that you will find this a friendly place to come when you need someone to talk to. We are all in the same boat when it comes to emotions and feelings about our health. Just know that no question is to silly to ask and if you need to vent because you are having a bad day, we are here for you. I hope you find this site as helpful to you as it has been for me.

Also, welcome from a fellow VOL!
