First radiation treatment went OK yesterday. Will be done by Dec 23rd if all goes to plan.

Eyelashes are back already!

Any update monster?

Well the long term hormone treatment she was on and wanted to be on failed because her ovaries kicked back into action, so now she's on the regular Tamoxifen which is causing her lymphodema problems. But she's doing well and has a cool new car :D

It's just a case of wait and see now. You're never free once you've been tagged, so you just do what you can with the freedom you've got.

thanks for asking.

Glad to hear it. Just needed to hear a lil something positive. Lost touch with an old friend and reached out today to find out I was too late. :'(

Hey! She got a cool new car?! Awesome!

I'm having surgery thursday for "complications" of my chemo/cancer crap. In and out - no overnight. Chemo really screws with the body.

Good luck Bri - Hope it all works out for you.

Trilby 05-25-2010 08:48 AM

thanks. Once you've had the big C, they just keep picking at you.

monster 05-25-2010 10:32 AM

Ugh, Bri. Good Luck

limey 05-26-2010 11:23 AM
