Hello my Triple positive sister!!

Hey there. You've had a lot of input so far and I know that is helping comfort you. The surgery was as another gal has already posted, I had surgery on a Thursday mid day and went home on Friday morning after breakfast. It was not so painful and the 2 drains (only one side) were removed in just at 2 weeks. I used large safety pins to hang the drains. It's not hard to empty them and put them back. I slept in my bed with a pillow for my left arm to rest on and an extra one under my head.

I don't k no why but I had a short spell of huge disappointment and some anger at my ownself and at my regular Dr. But soon I got over that and gave it over to the Lord. I had a huge group of prayer warriors and that was Medicine to me. I'm adding you to my BC prayer list, my dear. I was dx in August 2012 and began treatment in October 2012. My surgery wasn't until after chemo. And radiation followed next. God will give you the strength and stamina to step up to this nasty Cancer. You have a lot of 'sisters' here which care and will pray for you. I hope that is okay with you. God Bless you.

Hi, bevaschia. I saw your response to Greg's question about how we're dealing with the holidays and I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry about Murdock. He looks like a sweetie. Please take care.

Bevaschia, thank you for your "Best answer" award! I'll put it on my mantle! Please keep us posted as to how you're doing. Hugs, Carool

hi I was diagnosed in 2011 and im going on my 5th year wish you the best if you want my email you can have it as well

Hi, see you're from Iowa as well. I was diagnosed last May and finished chemo in November. It was scary but so much better now. Good luck!

Hi bevaschia, I am straight her2 +++, I had taxotere, carboplatin, herceptin. I did not get perjeta. You have plenty of targets for chemo over my just one. I did do a vaccine trial after I completed radiation & herceptin. Much new, sounds like you are getting top notch care.

Good to have you aboard and HOPE I don't drive you crazy....lol
