breast

[SusieJo1948]

I,ve put off getting my mamagram. I have to go. Two years before i got.. I,m a survi. . . lung cancer,i had breast cancer i don,t know i,m emotionally wore out. to many tests and dr.s. They found it with the mamagram it was very small. There was no cancer any where except my breast. dr staged it at 0. We discussed it and decided to remove my left breast. I have to keep an eye on the other breast its been 7 years.The lung and breast was,nt the same kind. My dr wants me to stay on tamoxfen its been seven years but he likes to keep you on longer. I go in a week and a half I,m cancer free its been 7 years and 5 years and hopefully it will stay that way. You guys keep me up i,m happy i have you all i just needed to blow off. susiejo1948

Your setting the barre high there SusieJo! I’m pretty much flip flopped from you. My breast cancer was only diagnosed 3 years ago. I soooooooo understand what you mean when you say you’ve seen too many doctors.

Dear Susiejo,

I think a lot of us are tired of seeing doctors. I do what I call going on "doctor strike" when seeing too many gets overwhelming - basically it means I take a month and don't have any tests or see any doctors except the pain management one. In a backwards way it lets me feel like I have a little more control.

Congratulations on being cancer free. You are in my prayers that it stays that way! I've had 5 primary cancers and hope that this damned lung cancer will be the last.

Get your mammogram and then that worry is out of the way.

Please let us know how things go - we care!

Get your mammogram, it will be clear. Take care of yourself, let us know how you are doing.

Susiejo, get that mammogram! Get it out of the way! Your such a strong lady, you will be fine. You know I and all of on here, understand how your feeling. Its all so much, docs, tests, and worry, worry. But so far things haven't failed you, so take care of yourself.

Love, Donna
