Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Hello, I had bilateral mastectomies/axillary dissection [tissue expanders] on Sept 29,2003. DCIS and infiltrating ductal carcinoma were found, with micrometastisis in only the sentinel node. My diagnosis before surgery was DCIS, and the infiltrating tumor was a complete surprise discovered via sentinel node and later pathology report. I am currently going through 4 rounds of AC chemo,and radiation will follow that, with tamoxifen as the 3rd component of my adjuvant therapies. I am looking for an email " penpal " who is also going through chemo now to communicate about our mutual chemo experiences. I find that when my friends ask about it, its just so foreign to them, and I am not currently interested in a local support group, just some " Chemo chat " with another person who is in the same boat. I have had 2 AC treatments so far, and was offered 4 rounds of Taxotere to follow the AC, but decided against it, so the total number of chemo rounds will be 4. If anyone else currently in chemo [ or who recently completed AC ] is interested, I would welcome emails as well as swapping info on websites, books, etc that we have found helpful. Thanks so much for your time, Reesah reesah25@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
