Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 I just joined this group and have been reading all the messages for about a week.It seems to be a mix of a wide variety of experiences and also states of treatments and recovery. It is natural to feel an acute chnge in your " sense of self " as there are so manyadjustments and losses to be dealt with (not to mention fear and panic) this is natural and probably universal and there seem to be many members here that can help you. There are many accounts of admirable women and how they got through this but this does not mean that someone at the beginning is not admirable too This group seems to be supportive of those just diagnosed and feeling lost(am I right? winnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 This group is here for anyone along the journey.... From beginning to SURVIVOR and beyond. We have all been in the place of the beginning. It has only been since late November that I was diagnosed. My outlook has changed 100% since joining this group.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 How are you doing today? You've been on my mind and I hope you're healing a little better the past couple of days. XOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm so glad things are improving Ruth...you've been in our thoughts and good wishes were going out to you... Wonderful news about the pathology report! You must be so relieved; I know I'm "tickled pink" for you! Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 , Thanks for your concern. The hemotoma is down from about a B cup size to a little over an A. I have been sleeping sitting up and now have a single " love handle " on the right side, where some of the blood pooled. My whole right side is black and blue. Looks like I was in one hell of a fight! Slow going, recovery wise. However, I got some very good news, yesterday. The final path report shows NO involvement of the nodes! Only the sentinal node was taken and the biopsy at time of mastectomy showed no involvement. There is a false negative rate of about 5% so this confirms the good news. The size of the tumor was 1 inch. I'm hoping I doged the bullet and won't need chemo or radiation. Ruth PS Still don't know what it is like to be " totally " flat chested on the right side! Ouch, ouch, can't wait to find out. > > How are you doing today? > > You've been on my mind and I hope you're healing a little better the past > couple of days. > > XOX > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
