Hi! I'm new on here and recently diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. I start Chemo on Tuesday. Then surgery then radiation. I have super long hair and I am cutting it tomorrow. Hoping to donate it before chemo. Starting my journey...

What drugs do they have you taking? I am in the same situation but struggle with feeling ok everyday. I have too much work and two kids. I am taking Tamoxifin and Zoladex to put me in a chemcical menopause. So the night sweets and hot flashes are ever few hours. Hard to handle. I am a year into this treatment.

Hi,
Did you do hormone therapy and how was that for you?

Hi Teddyfuzz, just stoping by to say hello and send hugs your way.

Hi TF: Yes, I'm very tired after going thru 18 weeks of chemo. The funny thing is, my hubby keeps telling people how ENERGETIC I am! I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY! I did, however, start back at the gym today, which makes me happy. Hope you're doing well TF!

How are doing?

Teddyfuzz---still haven't heard from you lately. Hope everything's gone great with reconstruction. I just finished my chemo yesterday and am much relieved...hoping to get my life back now. Please respond. :-)

TF: Haven't "seen" or "heard" from you forever. How are you doing? I am 2/3 through chemo now and finding it more challenging (neuropathy, just feeling sick, etc.) each time I get the big three TCH. But I only have 2 more of those! The TH weeks are ok, and the H weeks a walk in the park. Your hair looks longer...you should make itty bitty pony tails, LOL. I wore my red tinsel wig to chemo today and it was a hit! Hope things are ok with you!

Hi teddyfuzz. I am new to the site and have been reading some of your posts. your attitude is very uplifting and inspiring...exactly how i want to be!! i see that you were having your reconstruction done...good for you! i hope it went well and you are feeling fine!!!

Hi TF: Just wanted to say "hi": & see how you're feeling, post op. You DO deserve twins! I had my meandering port "nailed down" yesterday and think same surgeon did a better job this time! Also---love that PERCOCET! Take care!

Hi TeddyFuzz... just joined and very stressed. Sleep and food are not anything I can seem to do. I was wondering if I could contact you as things come up and get your take on things.

My gal pal just told me 2 months ago she was diagnosed with the duct type - stage 1. Before that, never knew anyone personally or even ..."someone's aunt" that had been diagnosed.

Also, had no idea that a mammo doesn't see this kind. Actually, I didn't know there were "kinds"!! I feel really stupid for being so ignorant of a well published woman's health issue...but had no family history, breast feed, did self exams, and went for mammos and yearly gyno apts.

Sorry to dump:) But read your posts and the t-shirt quote "the real ones tried to kill me" made me laugh..not doing that a lot this week...and I like your sense of humor

However this goes, thank you for posting. It's like having a map....

Not - Popeye.

Thanks for the kind words and all the support. May your every day be just a bit better than the last and may you achieve all that you wish. Each and everyone of you who do not "know" me, know me better than most as we share the fight against cancer. If you don't have it you don't know what it really is to have it.

Bless you AND

Keep it positive and smile

Thanks Teddyfuzz! My onc said he was putting benedrol in my chemo treatment! I have to trust he knows what he is doing. No port, no drugs, I'll just have to journal my experience and make adjustments along the way, as necessary. Thanks for your support and intervention. Nice to know so many people really care!!
