Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Dear Vickie, So upset to read about your news...can you tell me what you were experiencing with the visual problems? Try to remain upbeat and know that we're all standing beside you, helping you through this. I remember you posting a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed and just want you to know I'll say a prayer for you. Best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Vickie, breast cancer diagnosed 6/2003. Went through surgery,chemo, & rads. Thought everything was going until started getting headaches and visual problems. Had a MRI of my head today. They found a spot on my brain. I am so mad and upset....I thought I was done with cancer. 3years out, clean mammos,clear chest x-rays, my hair has grown back. Thought my headaches were from stress. How long do I have to wait before the other shoe is going to drop again???? I have met with a neurosurgeon and will have surgery on Tuesday. So about the random thoughts but really just needed to vent around people who won't sugar coat things for me.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thank you all for you prayers and knid thoughts. As the days get closer ,I get more scared, but feel that I must put on a brave face for those around me. If I freak out on them , then they will all be basket-cases. I do good most of the time, but there are moments when I get a phone call, or even just a hug from a friend, and then the water works start to fall. To top all this off, I was in the process of moving to Texas, had just sold my house, and was looking forward to a little vacation before starting a new job in Texas. Guess my plans are not ment to be at this time...just postponed for now. Atleast I know the doc's here and it isn't a bunch of strangers who will be poking into my head. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, again. Take care, VickieTrisha wrote: Vickie we are all always here for you. Just reach out and see. We are all here to listen and support.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hello everyone... I am home. The surgeon said everything went well. Still waiting for path report, but DR. said looked like breast cancer, so that means I was miss staged all along. I still feel weak a lot of the time, but I'm still here and going to fight this just like last time. I just thank my primary care DR. for going the extra mile with the headaches I was having. He tried me on some migraine meds and had ordered the MRI "just in case". I will have to get 2 weeks of head rads on whole brain and 1 week of rads to tumor site. No chemo, brain has a barrier that keeps chemo out. But I'm doing ok and just wanted everyone to know that I'm home. Thank you for all your support and prayers during this time.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 yes, that's what i ment..the DR. said it looks the same as a BC cell, but will know more when the path report comes out. let me explain a little something...the brain has a thing called the "blood brain barrier", this barrier helps protect the brain from infections, germs, or anything, but sometimes things get through, as in my case. A BC cell had probably broken free and ran around in my body looking for a good place to call home. The cancer liked the look of the brain area and fought its way passed this barrier. The chemo I took 3 years ago, wasn't able to get passed the barrier and kill that runamok cell. The has been some news studies that are working on opening the brain barrier to let chemo in, but it is still in the trail stage, I think. I'm just going to go with the rads and keep on praying that mabye this time we finally got it all. I thank you all for your prayers and best wishes.
