Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Posted February 1, 2001 Hi , Welcome to the list. I've just rejoined after being away for awhile. Everyone is very supportive and knowledgeable. BTW, I just spent 3 1/2 years in England. I loved it there. I'm happy to be back, but miss it still! Kara in Tennessee Quote
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Posted February 4, 2001 --Kari said " Very interesting survey! I do > have a question for ya, why would you like to meet Dr. Kevorkian? " I think I would like to do an interview with him because he made such a mark in our society and there is so much debate about assisted suicide and it is done as a quiet practice in hospitals. I would like to know if he is a saviour or a devil. Make an interesting paper ah? stephanie Quote
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 Welcome Nancee. There is someone else on this group that has an autistic child. I've heard that the ambrotose glyconutrients from mannatech are helping autistic children become more interactive and better at expressing themselves. Have you heard of it?..georgianancee32000 wrote: Hello everyone. My Name is Nancee. I was diagnoised with Invasive Ductal Carsinoma of the left breast in August 2004. I had a Lumpectomy with Sentinel nodes in September. My tumor was over 3cm and considered a grade 3. Surgeon was able to get clear margins and retrieve 9 nodes. All nodes were clear. It was suggested that I have chemo but was told it would increase my chances by about 3-4% over radiation and Arimidex. I chose not to have the chemo. I just finished 6 weeks of radiation and am know taking Arimidex (cancer was estrogen positive) Radiation went very well. Other than some fatigue I tolerated it well. I was able to take the 6 weeks off from work and that helped with the fatigue. I traveled 90 miles each day. I am a special education teaching assistant and thought it better for my students that I stay out rather than have me for 3 hours aday. I live in New Hampshire and have had the great pleasure of being treated at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebenon. Top of the line and state-of-the-art. My dad had breast cancer 32 years ago. I'm sure they did not know what to do for him that many years ago and unfortunately he did not survive. He was 52. My mom had colon cancer 20 years ago and she to passed away. My family history is not good therefore I will be undergoing genetic testing in the Spring. It won't do me much good know but my children should know. I have 3 kids. 25, Jenn 23 and 20. Our son is Autistic. I must stay around a long time for him. And I plan on doing just that.I am happy to be a part of the group and look forward to getting to know you all.Nancee__________________________________________________ Quote
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 --Georgia I have not heard of this treatment. If you could get more info for me that would be great. We are very fortunate that is verbal and can express himself pretty well. I am always interested in new things involving autism.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Hi Anne...My name is Donna and I had a mastectomy in April 04. I did have tram flap reconstruction with it but that didn't take and am now going tomorrow to the plastic surgeon to schedule reconstruction, was suppose to start in Dec but had to cancel. I had three spots in two different places in the breast and I don't regret what I did. My surgeon just said this is what you are doing. He didn't want to take any chances. It was stage 1. I did the chemo, finished in Oct. and now am on tamoxifen. I was on tamoxifen after the surgery and stopped for the chemo. I didn't have any problems and it wasn't really that bad. I am sure it wouldn't have been bad at all but I had the trma flap with it and that was more painful...............Good luck and let me know how u are doing....................DonnaAnne Dunn wrote: Hi everyone,I have just joined and so have not read through all the posts yet.

Have any of you had chemo and radiation at the same time. I am on Xeloda right now. I had cancer on my neck before but it was in a different spot and I had 10 treatments of radiation for that but I wasn't on chemo than.
