WHen was your dx? Mine was May 8th...Had the lumpectomy may 1st and

of course found out results the 8th,,the 11 went back to get nodes

just 3 though and marigins around where to tumor was! breast was

clear but one trace also in one node!! was your BC ductual or

lobular? Mine was invasive lobular.

HOwever I had 4 rounds of a/c 14 days apart and then was suppose to

do taxotere 4 rounds but first taxotere went awfull so they switched

me to taxol,,,it wasn't much better but at least it is over with!!!

33 rads the last 8 were boost! Breast ended up pretty crispy!!!!

lol but it has peeled now and even the blue dye around the nipple is

allmost gone!!!! My last chemo was Oct 3, last Rad was Dec 4th.

So you have been on femera since NOv.and not to many problems yet!?

that is good keep me posted will ya, Like I said earlier I have

appt. the 23 with my oncon. We shall see what he wants me to do

then,,,,still am not sure I will do the inhibitors. Supposedly with

invasive lobular carcinoma it's reoccurance is a lot less than the

other BC's.

GOd bless and I hope you will have no problems with the femera!!!

oh I am 55 by the way!!! Turned 55 June 3!

I had a annual physical on 10/16/05 (had been 3 years

since my last one and stupid me, didn't want to go

until I had lost some weight). My doctor didn't feel

any lumps when she did the manual exam. She did

schedule me for my mammogram but things came up and so

I didn't have it when I was suppose to. Between

Thanksgiving and Christmas, I felt a lump, it was as

if one day it wasn't there and then it was. I had

also started a weight loss program and had lost 20lbs

in 1 month (something that my doctor attributed to as

not noticing any lump during her exam. Mind you I

never thought it was her fault, but really my boobs

weren't large at all. I could understand if she was

referring to my hips!!). I had my mammo on Dec 28,

2005, my sonogram the first week of January and was

scheduled for surgury only to have my insurance

company disallow the surgeon because he wasn't in

their network. I found another surgeon who was and he

was great.

The pathology came back 10 days later, and my surgeon

immediately put me with my oncologist. I had my

lumpectomy Feb 16, 2006 and started my 1st round of

Chemo in March, 2006. I finished my last round August

24, 2006. I had radiation with no ill effects.

Didn't get tired, didn't have any burning, discomfort

or peeling. I am on Herceptin every 21 days until

June 2007. I had just turned 53 when I had the lump.

My doctor did not find my lump on a manual exam the end of August.

In mid-Nov, the mammogram showed a tumor that was 3cm. I don't blame

him for not finding it. Even after I knew exactly where it was, I

couldn't feel it either.
