Guest guest Report post Posted August 30, 2003 Hello , I just wanted to say welcome. I think you will find this group very helpful. I got a lot of help just by reading through the archives as a lot of questions I had had already been asked by someone else along the way. My 5 y.o. son just got his first pair of hearing aids. Our ins. didn't cover them but we were able to do some comparison between adiologists on our area and saved $1,000 on the same type of hearing aids. I'm sorry i don't have any suggestions for hearing aids in infants but there are several others on this list that do or did (they're older now). Sonya mama to Reuben > Hello, I just joined nd figured I would jump right in with my intro. > I am , my husband and I have two kids together. Shaylei > who just turned three and Isaac who is 4 months. Isaac was born with > severe blood loss, not breathing and a very faint pulse. There was a > tight knot in the cord that pinched one of the veins off so I could > not pass blood on to him but he was still giving me blood. He needed > two blood transfusions and was transported to Buffalo Childrens > hospital NICU for 9 days. We were told he would most likely have a > slow growth pattern and he does, 12 lbs at 4 months, may be delayed > in learning but so far he is on track with that and hearing loss. It > did not take long to notice he was not hearing thelow pitched tones. > He failed 3 infant hering tests nd one was at the pass/fail boarder. > Today he had the ABS test done , but only got it done in the left > ear, and that seems to be the better ear. The results from that test > show he is a hearing aid canadate. He got fussy so we never got the > right ear done but I am sure that would have showed the same thing. > We have a follow up on the 8th so we have time to take all this in > then will be sent to Rochester NY where Isaac will be sedated and > they will do the ABS test again and most likely in 2 months fitted > for hearing aids.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 6, 2003 Welcome to the group Janice --- and congrats on your success so far. Something that's worked for several of us here - as our rate of loss has slowed - is to make sure we eat all our activity points - as we burn more calories, the body seems to need the extra fuel. Maybe this will help you. Again, welcome --- this is a real supportive - but " no-nonsense " group - I think you'll enhoy it.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 4, 2005 June I am sorry to hear about your cancer. We are all survivors here and will help you get through your rough times. From What i am reading in this group many of our oncologists do things differently. My dr determined that I needed Chemo when the cancer spread to my lymph nodes. My first DX was in 1996. I had CMF the first time and radiation. I was clean for 7 yrs. Yes, I said 7 yrs. I thought I beat the beast. But low and behold, I started this cough that would not go away and had this pain in my shoulder blade that was bad. I knew something was wrong and wehn I went to the dr I knew it was back! I was devastated! but I did another round of chemo, this time I did Taxol, Carpoplatin and Herceptin. They tested me for the BRAC gene which I have and now I am on Herceptin indefinitely until they find a cure! Which One day they will! We must all stay positive. I believe in power of pray and positive attitude. All my friends tell me that they never met a more positive person and that they do not think they could not go through what I did BUT I think they would! If it means surviving they would! Anyway, ask them to test you for the BRAC gene. When I was dx in 96 they did not know about the gene. This is why I say, one day we will have a cure! 7 yrs after I had the cancer they found out about the gene. Without this research I would not be here today! I know you are scared to death right now, but YOU WILL get through this. You will be ok. I think most of it depends on how far the cancer has gone. Keep in touch with us and we will all help you through this! Angel Hugs Judy Judy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Hi June and welcome to the group. If at all possible take someone with you on Tues. Its easier for you as you probably won't remember half of what the surgeon is saying. Ask about a mastectomy or lumpectomy. I opted for mastectomy and its been 15 yrs since my surgery. The drs say the survival rate is the same but a lot of ladies will say different. I have known women who opted for a lumpectomy only to go back later for a mastectomy. Ask how long you will be in the hospital and any other questions you may have about the surgery. I will keep you in my prayers.

Yesterday I received result from a biopsy that was done onWednesday. The lump in my breast is cancerous. That's all I know at themoment. I meet with a surgeon on Tuesday. Any advice on what to ask andhow to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to ask for a petscan. I know it's common to worry about it being more invasive but I've hadsome aches and pains in my ribs and lower back that I'm really worriedabout, especially now that I know about the breast.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 4, 2005 It is what we don't know that we worry about. I know for me that is what I do. I am learning more and more to trust God. It's not always what happens to us but what he does as he brings us through it. Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. I will keep you in my prayers. I remember them telling me it was cancer, I remember being so shocked, and hearing the words chemotherapy and radiation. As far as surgery, I did not know what to ask. Now I would want to know more about where it was located and how deep and what are my options. Good luck and God Bless, Ren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 4, 2005 Hi welcome in the group I'm Lucilla, 2 and1/2 years BC survivor. I am the "noisy" one of the group (you'll see if you will follow us :-) ). The pain in your back and ribs it maybe NOTHING, just anxiety and stress hitting you (...are you keep breathing normally ? ). I may assume that the first thing you will have is a surgery to check on your limpho, to see if it has spread. They may remove them, to have them checked. My lympho were clear, so we opted for a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. It is up to your oncologist. My new oncologist complained that my first oncologist was too aggressive, but I appreciated what he did, and if I had to go back I chose chemo again 100 thousand times. Proceed one step at a time. I sense you as a very active person, very simple and effective in her days life. Generous, in all ways. I loved your quote on peace. One step at a time. Keep the peace in your heart, and fear nothing. Let us know what the surgeon said. hugs luJune wrote: HiMy name is June. Yesterday I received result from a biopsy that was done onWednesday.
