Hi NancyJac,

Please let us know that all is well with you. We all miss you!

Hi Nancy,
I too have been missing your responses. I saw Risa's question this morning about IBC and recurrence and my first thought was ...I wonder what Nancy will answer. I hope you are well!

Hope all is well with you.

nancyjac, you've been quiet lately. I hope all is OK.

Dear Nancy Jac,

I am missing your responses as well! Hopefully you are on a nice vacation!!! Thinking of you.

I hope you are doing well, Nancy. Cinco de Mayo coming up. Looking forward to reading about your adventures. Careful with the piñata.

Valentines day was tough enough
Now I wish you a happy Easter
I hope you celebrate normally
With no cameras up your keister.

yes - I had my last chemo treatment about 6 weeks ago(colorectal cancer stage III- Age 70) and still have tips of my fingers are numb, my hands and fingers are sore, pins and needles in my feet upon getting up in AM , but that goes away right away, depressd because I cannot fuinction well withmy hands right now and lack of energy - I look at something I need to do and it is not in my heart to get it done !! and that is NOT ME !! How long do these side effects last >>my food tastes finally came back last week !!

Hello Nancy hope you have a good holiday god bless

Dear Nancy,

Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to compliment you. You're so knowledgeable on so many different aspects of cancer that I'm curious to know if you're a medical professional as well as a patient? There are a few hiding out...;) Your coments are very well stated.

Warm wishes,
AlizaMLS

It's me that wants to know the answer not my dad, I think his just protecting it from me as I'm still in part remission from bone cancer. I know what you mean about statistics but I just wanted to know what it's like roughly for pancreatic cancer patients.

Hi nancyjac, I forgot to address one other thing you brought up. I'd seen my rheumatologist (Lupus doc) not long before my mastectomy (but I haven't yet seen the oncologist at the hosp. where I'm being treated). It really (in terms of chemo) doesn't matter because I'm not a chemo candidate and my Lupus (from a flare point of view) isn't doing badly (I'm not achy-no bad osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia symptoms). Just fatigue that I don't think is the normal fatigue of Lupus (maybe an adjunct, but more from the surgery and post-op infections and flu, but not from the Lupus itself. I won't be seeing the oncologist until the 24th and I'll also be seeing my own hematologist ( I see one already-for my Lupus) soon as well. Then I have a choice to make after meeting the hospital doc as to who I want to prescribe my aromitase inhibitor.

Hi nancyjac,

Re my extreme fatigue post surgery - Nope, I just had a unilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (expander implanted). No radiation and no need for chemo according to Oncotype test (it wouldn't do anything to help me [I scored very well in regards to not needing it]).

My problem is that I have Lupus on top of having had breast cancer, the surgery, two post-op infections and the flu. I'm bushed and despite being a Lupus patient, I was always kind of the well poster child for that and had a lot of energy. I'm exhausted now and hate it!!

I am confused. You post answers to everyone's questions as if you seem to know it all. Now suddenly you post an answer on mariegiancarlo's question that is just plain rude and indicating you are not an oncologist. Wow...finally you agree you don't know it all!! She is obviously suffering and in a lot of pain. I would think that you would realize that this site is for SUPPORT for people dealing with cancer. If you cannot offer that to others than why are you here? I only answer questions that I feel I can relate to and have experiences with; however, you seem to comment on EVERYTHING. Do you work in the healthcare industry? If not, then perhaps you should stick to what you know and have experienced...breast cancer. If you have not experienced the pain of a brain tumor then you could probably not fathom what this person is going through and should not respond in that way. I think you should really try to practice empathy for others. I am sorry but I have sat by as long as I could and watch you post questionable and/or rude responses to others. My mom always told me that if you couldn't say something nice then just don't speak. And then there is the Golden Rule...Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I don't think you would want to be treated the way you are treating others on here. You make them feel bad for asking questions. You give invalid advice. Please think before you respond. You shouldn't respond if you have no experience or basis of understanding or if you simply cannot be nice. Just my two cents. Have a good evening.

Thanks Im meeting with team Feb 13 th. The waiting is a nightmare. I like your kitty, I have five.

thank you for the link.... I'm not really sure what information I am looking for either. I guess I would just like to do a little research about it. my mom still has not signed the concent form - she is still trying to decide.

thanks to all who answered my question regarding bankruptcy and job hunting-you all helped me feel better!

Dr. Has indicated either one as a possibility for treatment. I realize the difference in 4 and 16. What about track record? He is equally fine with either, I am just not sure which way would be the better alternative. The Dr. Wants me to weigh in and I just am not sure. Thanks for your continued great answers and support.

Just read about your issues with switching to Medicare. I was lucky that didn't happen to me. I went with traditional Medicare and Gap Plan F - per the advice of the oncology billing department. I pay a bit more up front in premiums, but no deductibles or co-pays.

It's so darned unfair, you are all beautiful people and we are all going through a disease that no one else understands unless you are a member too, it makes me so very sad and scared, why or when are they going to find a cure, I;m sorry that's selfish, we all have this in various stages, but you all amaze me, I am very new to this and I don't know which way to turn and when it will return, apparently for a lot, it comes back. Does anyone have any inspiration or advice of food or exercises or yoga, meditation or sleeping on your back or feet in the air , I don't mean to belittle or stupid, but I need help to calm down so that I can help others like us to be there for them and listen to them or go to treatments, whatever is needed, but right now I am new and so very scared, how do you wonderful people get through this? I hope you don't mind, but I will pray for all of us....until I hear from someone, God Bless.....

On the post about our stories, I put all the history I could remember. I have been getting more and more tests. Thurs I have 2 MRI's scheduled for the Breasts (both have irreg.) changes in both. My Lymph nodes are all swollen(Both armpits, chest, neck, throat huge raised nodes on both inner elbow. My hip has been hurting in the bone. Dr just ordered CA 15 and 24?? I have asked and been referred to Oncologist see them next week Tues.

Thanks to you and all the people who have responded.

Thank-you Nancy for the quick response, I am new to this and feel very lost.

Thank you Nancy for your answer! Maybe now I can sleep, it is simple but it
is not easy! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. !
