LADIES,

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD YOUR YEARLY MAMMOGRAM DONE, PLEASE DO SO!
I WOULDN'T ANYONE GO THRU THIS PLUS AFTER EFFECTS OF SCT SURGERY!!

UPDATE: I'M HALFWAY DONE MY CHEMO TREATMENTS (3OF 6) I HAVE CHEMO EVERY 3 WEEKS AND HERCEPTIN EVERY WEEK. THE HERCEPTIN IS THE TARGET DRUG FOR HER2+ CANCER I HAVE. MY BIGGEST SIDE EFFECT IS NAUSEA AND AM AT MY WORST DAY 3-6 AFTER CHEMO. I HAVE SWELLING OF MY RIGHT HAND AND FOOT.
I DO NEED NAPS! I'M TRYING TO APPLY HOW I MANAGE SCT TO MY CANCER TREATMENTS, TAKING ONE DAY AT A TIME.

SO PLEASE GET THOSE MAMMOGRAMS DONE AND REMIND YOUR OTHER FRIENDS AND RELATIVES IN YOUR LIFE! I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON ANYONE!!

WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.

So glad you posted, I was wondering how you were doing. I am also spreading this message to all ladies..get a mammo!! If you cannot afford one and /or have no insurance, you can get a free one. Just contact your local cancer society. Had I not gone to the local mammo marathon at 1:30 in the morning, I would be going through a lot of grief right now. My cancer was caught early enough. Please spread the word to all the women you know...GET A MAMMO!!!! Hugs to you Karen, you deserve all the best things there are. And you said it right..it is tough after the SCT, but you are a warrior and will get through this. Cindy

Thank you God for your many blessings!

Karen:

I wish you the very best in your treatments. My wife just finished the three day breast cancer walk here in Seattle. I got to see her at a couple of points in the walk and I can't tell you how moved I was to see so many people showing their support by walking and also by all the people who worked in support. It just goes to show what an inspiration that you women (my mom included) are to all of us who marvel at your strength and courgae in the fight against this cancer. I have placed a rubber band around my wrist so that I will rember to say a prayer for your recovery tonight, Karen. God bless and keep you!
