Re: Post-op mastectomy results yesterday - is

[Guest guest]

Hi is,

I started chemo within approximately a week to a week and a hlf of my

surgery. I had mine in 1990 with one node involved. Infiltrating ductal

carcinoma, Stage II.

I had methotresate and 5FU, IV push, the first two Tues. of the month, the

third week was cytoxan pills and the fourth week I rested and then started

over again for the six month.

You will be in my prayers.

Hugs
