questions about hormone fed cancer

[Guest guest]

I found out tuesday that I do not have hormone fed cancer. Is this a

good thing or a bad thing. I know anything related to cancer diag is

bad but I was just wondering what is the difference. I had 2nd round

of Taxol on tuesday and other than being wiped out and sleeping off and

on for the last 48 hours I have not had the terrible pain like last

time. I am starting to feel like a prisoner of my side effects. During

a really good dinner that my daughter has worked all day to make for my

family I can't help but think about the fact that I may have to throw

it all up later. I don't want to walk up the stairs to my own room

because I am afraid my legs will give out. I am sorry to all but I just

have to whine and you are the only ones I have to whine to. Any in put

on the hormone thing will help.

Whine away Tammy - you're entitled! The negative hormone thing is

not necessarily a great thing because it means that taking either

Tamoxifin or an A.I. or Herceptin will not benefit your chances of a

recurrance. Are you ER and PR neg as well as Her2 neg?? That's

called a triple neg and there are others in this group who test that

way and can speak to that.

Hang in there - you can do it! If you don't want to go to your

room, just rest yourself right wherer you are. Try to stay positive

and when you can't - whine away right here - I'll always listen.

Hugs!

I was receptor neg so couldn't take Tamoxifen etc. Your chances are supposed to

be better if you can take one of the drugs. However its been 16 yrs for me and I

am doing ok.

Tammy, my cancer was also estrogen negative. I had a

mastectomy and my chemo protocol was CMFP, followed by

radiation. The good news is that come July, I'll be a

19 year survivor!

hugs,

Nan

Thank you all so much for being there for me. After treatment when I feel bad

is when my mind wonders to all the negative things. Plus this time I have a

really bad head cold. My surgery is coming up in April and I have an

appointment with the surgeon on Feb 21 to discuss my options and I am scared of

the outcome. I know I need to concentrate on today and be prepared for

tomorrow, not worry about tomorrow but it is very hard sometimes. Your stories

I read on this site give me hope and I want someday 19 years down the road to be

able to return the favor.

Thank You
