Hi, I was diagnosed with IDC in April just after my 58th birthday. My tumor was

ER/PR+, but like you my lymph nodes were involved (5 of 20).

I think the whole process of dealing with the cancer and treatments is

overwhelming at times, but I was so glad to have so much support from the gals

who'd already traveled the road before me who kept reassuring me that " you can

do it. "

Like you, I dealt better when I had factual information, than the in-between

times. I hope you have gotten good information from your surgeon by now.

Tomorrow I finish the last of my regular radiation treatments with only 5 boost

treatments left to do on the tumor area only. Two months after finishing

chemotherapy I have over an inch of thick, mostly curly, white hair covering my

head and am looking forward to enjoying 2007.

Happy New Year to You ... and remember " you can do it " . We'll all be here to

listen to you and support you.
