How are you feeling these days...did the fever resolve?

Just thinking of you. Hope your surgery went smoothly and you're recovering comfortably. Keeping positive thoughts for you that you had negative nodes.

I know you have a couple of weeks before your surgery, but, I didn't want the days to blur together as they sometimes do and neglect to wish you good luck on your surgery! I'll be thinking of you and hoping that everything goes smoothly for you. I wish you negative nodes and a speedy recovery ! ! ! : )

So how are you making out with your nails? I also wanted to ask you what you and the hubby did to celebrate your last chemo. I'm halfway through and my boyfriend asked me yesterday if I wanted to do something special when done. I've finished the AC and now have 4 Taxols to get through.

When is your surgery? Make sure you have some help. I was out of work for four weeks, as I recall. I was alone most of yhe time and only had trouble when my drains clogged up, but it would have been nice to have some help.

Hey! Read on another post that you have one more chemo to go ! ! ! That's great. . .all the best : )

How did you make out with the MRI ? ? ?

Hey Rivergal - wanted to wish you luck tomorrow with the MRI. Sending positive thoughts your way !

Hi Rivergal - try penguincoldcaps.com How are you feeling ?

Rivergal - call the American Cancer Society they also have resources for free wigs. Good luck with treatment !!

Saw your question "is Greek yogurt OK?" My answer in a nutshell is "organic only!" The antibiotics and growth hormones in commercial dairy products are no-nos for wellness in general, and especially for breast cancer survivors. Great opportunity here to make sure your food is supporting your cancer-free future!

Blessings,
Dr. Shani Fox

Thinking of you today and hoping things are going well!

My hospital had a resource center that had free wigs. Don't know if you have checked with yours? I only wore my wig 2 times. I wore scarves and hats/caps most of the time. I found the wig was just too hot for me. I took the same chemo you are on and think (not sure) I started losing my hair shortly after my 2nd chemo.

Hi Rivergal! Remember me? Please feel free to call if you have any questions or need company going to an appointment. I would LOVE to help out!!!

Good luck today and may the new year bring a speedy and complete journey to remission...blessings for 2014!
