Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi all, You may remember that I was diagnosed with IDC back in late May. My Dad died in July after a sudden heart attack and we took him off life support. That same week, one of my younger sisters (of 5) had a mammogram at the suggestion of my oncologist that they all have a screening regardless of age; she too was diagnosed with bc, but dcis. 2 of my other younger sisters delayed getting their screening, primarily due to grief and their fears. They both finally went in last Thursday. I'm stressed out because my youngest sister has been called back in for more films and possibly an ultrasound. I just don't know how much more my family can handle and I'm feeling blue and stressed. I rationally know there is a possibility that it is indeed nothing, but with everything that has happened, we're all so anxious. As an aside, we were all tested for the genetic BRCA mutations and 4 of of us have polymorphism NOT known to be related to bc. And my sister Kris who was diagnosed this sumemr does not have the polymorphism. Asking for prayers and positive energy. This board, despite the fact that I did not post much during treatment, got me through. Janet B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Janet B - you and your family are in my prayers. I can certainly see why you are so stressed out - any of us would be in your situation. I hope that your sister's scare is just that, but it's good that you have all been tested now and can deal with whatever happens. Better to be prepared I guess - even if you don't have control over it - know what I mean?? Hugs! Ellen > > Hi all, > > You may remember that I was diagnosed with IDC back in late May.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Lila, I'm so sorry to hear of all of your troubles. I can totally empathize. My only brother was diagnosed with metastic pancreatic cancer last summer. He had a whipple and is up for another major surgery on the 20th. Hopefully he'll be cancer free after, yes a true miracle. More recently my wife, who is 35, and we just had our first son in July, was diagnosed stage IV bc with mets to the liver. She has just started chemo. Her parents are here in socal to help with the baby, and her father's only brother had a major heart attack on Tues. He looks to be doing better, but it certainly does pour when it rains, ironically we live in the desert. We'll keep your family in our prayers. Lord knows we all need them.
