My Mom had a radical masectomy 1 1/2 years ago. She opted for only Tomaxafin (sp) treatments for her own personal reasons. However, she is very weak and tired most of the time. This is caused by the medication. Her doctor told her to start taking a combination of natural vitamins that come in packets taken 3 times daily. The vitamins are too numerous to list but the price is tremendous! She pays $27.00 for a 5 day supply! Instead of 3 times a day, she takes only 1/3 dosage a day to stretch them to 15 days. Of course, this is not enough to do her much good. She is becoming very depressed because of the cost involved and sometimes feels it would have been best to just "pass on". Does anyone out there know of another "natural" treatment that will help her build up her strength and give her some energy without costing her all of what she receives from Social Security? Thank you!

ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2000 I HAD A MASTECOMY AND MY LYMP NODES REMOVED . TWO OF THE NODES WERE POSITIVE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD 5 OF MY 8 TREATMENTS. 4 WERE EITH ADRIAMYCIN AND CYTOXIN AND THE REMAINING 4 ARE WITH TAXOL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS LOSS OF HAIR, AND TIREDNESS BUT THANK GOD I HAVE NOT BEEN SICK AT ALL. THE ONLY OTHER SIDE EFFECT I HAVE FOUND SINCE I STARTED THE TAXOL IS THAT THE TIPS OF MY FINGERS HAVE FELT NUMB. I HAVE GREAT SUPPORT FROM MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MY SPECIAL SUPPORT THROUGH ALL OF THIS. EVERYONE TELLS ME I HAVE A GREAT OUTLLOK AND SENSE OF HUMOR CONSIDERING WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH AND I HAVE NO INTENSION AND WITH GODS HELP LETTING THIS GET THE BETTER OF ME. I STILL HAVE TO MANY THINGS THAT I STILL WANT TO DO. I HAVE A 1YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER THAT I PLAN ON SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH AND AN LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TIME THAT I CAN RETURN TO WORK. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR WEB SITE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HELPS TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE .

This is the first time I've visited your site. Kudos, for putting it together. A few months ago I was diagnosed with DCIS & LCIS. Following a partial masectomy & radiation I'm doing pretty good. However, the tamoxifin has me feeling terrible. Do the side effects improve? I feel like I'm walking around in a fog. Michele

Hi, I am a 39 year old woman. I have a question to ask of any one here? I had a mammagram done, it came back negative.Later my doctor phones me and tells me that he spotted a lump in my right breast. He scheduled a biopsy for me in 2 week.How could the mammagram miss that? I am worried because my sister just died on the 11 of Feb.01 of breast cancer.I find that the right side is a bit bigger that is was before. It is bigger that the left side is that normal?I appreciate all the help and advise that I could get from you people in this group. My husband think that my doctor just wants to be a hero.Should I get a second opinion or go ahead with the biopsy? I think it could be serious because it took him no time to get me in.

It is 6 weeks today that I had a lumpectomy to remove a small tubular cancer tumour. The lymph nodes were clean and so I am taking Tamoxifen for 5 years and start radiotherapy next week for 6 weeks. I seem to have been very lucky with the type of cancer I have, but that does not make it any easier. I have had a very positive outlook and that has supported my family and friends who in turn have been able to support me. Thee is so much information on the Web and in literature written and supplied by charity groups set up to support cancer victims. Take the time to read as much as you want to read, and talk to as many friends as you can because you will not be surprised to hear that most families have had someone affected by cancer or breast cancer. Chin up, take heart.

MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER WHEN I WAS IN THE 4TH GRADE. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT BREAST CANCER WAS. ALTHOUGH I DID KNOW THAT ITT WAS BAD. A LOT OF BAD THOUGHTS SHOT THROUGH MY HEAD WHEN MY PARENTS TOLD ME. SHE DISCOVERED A LUMP ON HER BREAST WHEN OUR FAMILY WAS ON VACATION. I HAD NO CLUE THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING ON BUT I DID NOTICE SHE WAS ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD. THIS WAS ALL BEFORE SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD BREAST CANCER. SHE UNDERWENT SURGERY AT THE BEGINNING OF 1998. I WAS STILL IN 4TH GRADE. IT WAS A LONG RECOVERY BUT SHE TURNED OUT FINE. WHEN I WAS 6TH GRADE THE CANCER WAS BACK. I WAS OLDER SO I NEW A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION THAN I DID. SHE AD SURGERY BUT SHE ENDED UP FINE. NOW I AM 13 YEARS OLD AND I'M IN THE 7TH GRADE. SHE IS DOING GREAT. SHE FOUND A NEW JOB AT A HOSPITAL WORKING WITH PYSCH PATIENTS. I AM DOING A HEALTH PROJECT AT SCHOOL AND WE GOT TO PICK OUR TOPIC. I PICKED BREAST CANCER SO I CAN FIND A LOT OF INFORMATION BECAUSE I AM MOST LIKELY TO GET IT WHEN I AM OLDER. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!

I am from a family of eleven, nine girls, two boys. Two of my sisters have breast cancer. My oldest sister was diagnosed in 1992 at 44 yrs. old with Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, 5 lymph nodes out of 15 positive and estrogen negative. She is a 9 yr. survivor. My fourth youngest sister 41 yrs old was diagnosed with Invasive Duct Carcinoma, three of three lymph nodes negative, Er & Pr Positive on December 14th,2000, three days after our mothers funeral. We are a very close family and see each other on a regular basis. This has been very hard for us as we had just lost our mother, she had been there for all of us when anything happened and now we could not rely on her to help us deal with my sisters breast cancer, my oldest sister has taken this very hard I think because she knows what my younger sister will go through in these next months. I will be going for gene testing on Thurs., Feb.,22nd and so will another sister, we have asked the rest of our sisters to also have it done because I also feel it could be a good research tool for breast cancer to test 9 sisters from the same family, 2 with breast cancer and also another sister that was diagnosed with ovarion cancer at age 41. I truly am happy to have found this web site. It has helped me, talking about cancer with other people. Thank you.

Seven years ago I had a lump removed from the right breast, with was malignant. Six months of chemo, and 25 sessions of radiation later, I was symptom free for almost 4 years. Then a lump appeared on the sternum. I have gone through the gamut..tamoxifen, arimidea, cyclophosmid, 5FU, methotrexate, navelbine, and taxotere. The only thing left for me to try (that I know about at this time) is Xeloda. This cancer has metatised to the bone now in most of my body. Any one out there who has tried something else that I might mention to the doctors? Would appreciate hearing from anyone....I'm down to my last "card up the sleeve". Thanks.

I have been trying not to get worried about this, but all the web sites & places I go don't tell what a lump feels like. Please I am asking each one of you that views this guest book to help me. I am a little scared & I would rather it be nothing, but I need to know. Thank you & God bless you all.

I am 40 years old with an 8 and 3 year old at home. I was diagnosed a on 1/13/01 with aggresive introductal carsanoma. I had a radical masectamy. I will have to have 8 chemo teatments and five years of tomoxifin which I am already taking during my chemo treatments. I had my firt treatment two weeks ago and got so sick I was hospitalized. I am so scared of my next treatment. My doctor is going to bring me in a day early and premedicate me. Hoping to control the violent sickness. However the zofran and adavan, given at the hosptial didn't seem to help. I kept throwing up every 15 minutes for 8 hours. Any words of wisdom??? My family, friends and the Lord almighty have been more than wonderful!

I come to this site almost everyday and have done so for 4 years now. Feb. 13, 1997, was the day that I was diagnosed with cancer; 1.9 cm tumor, lumpectomy and lymph node removal, chemo, radiation therapy, hair loss, the whole 9 yards. Though I don't want it to happen it again, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I've gotten to know so many other wonderful people who have gone through the same thing. I feel the fear and confusion of those who post that they've just found out they have cancer. And I can also share a hope in Jesus Christ who gives us peace we cannot understand. Remember, God has a plan for your life; you're not junk; and God is in control. God bless each and everyone. Each day brings new hope in cancer treatment, so hang in there! In Christ. Gloria

I have written on this page before - Siting my story - age 31 - DCIS (no lymph node involvement) - elected bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstruction via - expanders. Since, I have removed all breast tissue, my oncologist did not see any reason to put me on Tamoxifin. IS anyone on it? However, with all these recurrances (bone and otherwise) dicussed on the web site - I am curious as to "if anyone has elected a bi-lateral mastectomy with DCIS and had a recurrance. Husband and I have no children yet,and I want to be cautious - but also live my life to the fullest. I do believe that God has a plan - even though it makes no sense a lot of the time. My prayers are with those who are hurting and struggling through this process. Seek God.... He does provide peace. Thank you for sharing...

Five years ago a mammogram found a lump in my left breast. Had a biopsy, cancer, ductal, invasive,insitu, Had masectomy. Age 52. Six months later found lump in other breast while in the shower. Fine needle biopsy showed negative. Surgical biopsy showed cancer. Had second massectomy. It was not a spread from the other breast. Was not in the lymph nodes either time. Had no chemo or radiation. Have taken tomoxifin for five years because my cancer was hormone related.Hope this info helps someone else. Faith helps, also humor. I survived so can you. Also the fear lessons as time go's on.

In August 1998 I found a small lump in my rb. I went to my family doctor two days later and was booked for an immediate mammogram. After this I had a needle biopsy, this was inconclusive. Next came the surgical biopsy - cancer. Not what I expect to hear at 35 years old and trying for a second child. I then had a lumpectomy, the lump was 2.5cm and 3 of my lymph node were affected. This was followed by the removal of additional tissue, then finally a mastectomy. My biggest fear is not seeing my daughter grow up. She was just 6 when all this happened. With the support of a wonderful husband and family, I am doing great and have faith in the future. I was the first with breast cancer in my family, and I pray I am the last. Please keep the faith. Humor helps.

My 30 year old daughter found a lump in her right breast around the 1st of this year, had a mammogram on Jan 4th, an immediate biopsy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She chose a masectomy over a lumpectomy with reconstructive surgery. The cancer is invasive, fast growing, stage II due to 2 positive lymph nodes, though the tumor was only a little over 1 centimeter. She will begin chemotherapy next Thursday, Adriamycin and Cytoxin for 4 treatments, then Taxol for 4 treatments. She has a 6 year old son, just remarried last August. Would like information from anyone else who has similiar cancer and survival rate. She has a very positive attitude and trusts that God will heal her with no recurrance. Wish Mom's attitude was this positive. Please pray for her - Christy Savell.
