HI JLUW,
I HAD THE LUMPECTOMY, THAN CHEMO THAN RADIATION. I TOO WAS VERY SCARED.THE SECOND ROUND WAS WHEN MY HAIR STARTED TOCOME OUT. I HAD MY HEAD SHAVED. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCE HEAVY DUTY TEAR JERKING LEG PAIN THAN MY ONCOLOGIST TOOK ME OFF STEROIDS AND LOWERED MY DOSAGE OF CHEMO, CHEMO IS EVERY 3 WEEKS.

Thompson Cancer Center is a wonderful place to be treated they have a group of Doctors and you don't. Have to find them individually. I am two years Breast Cancer free I was diganosed with BRCA1 and have also caught stage 4 Liver Cancer and am now Cancer free. Stage 4 liver cancer is usually a 5 ye death sentence but they pulled me through them and God. There great!

Is that associated with St. Mary's not Tonics? If it is my best friend went there a year before me she was diagnosed. They never did a Pet Scan which would find if the cancer was anywhere else or had spread. After her treatment she was still feeling sluggish 4mos later she was worried they had not gotten it all. She asked me how they found the rest of mine I told her with the Pet Scan and she went back to them to see if they would do one, they told her a CT Scan would do it but Dr. CHARLES told me the scan would show some discolor in the scan then they would do the Pt Scan to see if it was cancer. To me they were just trying to cost her more money. I have a scan done every 4mos. Now. I am also going to be put on Xeloda for the rest of my life

DR. GRAM @ FORT SANDERS HOSPITAL. IS GREAT!
