A Girl in the Curl is back in school

NOT HAVE CANCER (read all 15 entries…)
I've been thinking about this... 15 months ago

The lump was removed, there was no cancer in the lymph node…yet cancer cells are insidious.

There’s that thing about knowing too much…

Cancer cells could be anywhere.

When do I mark this off? Most people would say, mark it off now.
But, my oncologist would say “after radiation treatments”

Still don’t know if I will need chemo or not.
Up in the air about the whole thing.

I’m just in the moment, knitting a lot, and not thinking about work.

(feeling good, recovering from the surgery, left armpit and boob still hurt somewhat)

just curious

How are they going to figure out if you need chemo or not? are you getting the Oncotype DX test?

not sure

I think they just look at the margins, if they got it all, and given my age/type of cancer/size of lump etc, they figure it out.

I spoke to the surgical fellow the next morning, and she said they have evidence that women who undergo the chemo, and women who just have the ovarian suppression (tamoxifen) do about the same.

So, I want to go in and talk to them about what “about” means, and I want studies, not generalities, and I want to read the studies.

I am still waiting to hear about the oncotype stuff. I guess I’ll call UCSF and see what’s up.

I just emailed you with some more info for you to wade through…

I saw that :)

The only thing is they have it all protected so you can’t print any of it :(

Cancer info…print protection…seriously.

Enore is

That's what I've been telling her.

Especially the one that is her avatar now. Somewhere around here, I forget where she posted it, she bitches about how she hates how her face looks!

Well…what else would a woman want in a face?

A Girl in the Curl is back in school

sheez...

you want it alphabetically?
Or in order of magnitude?
Or from top down?

Ugh, all around.
The photog sent me a link to the proofs, all I can say is it’s a wonder she didn’t charge me extra! LOL

Ewwwwww
Seriously

I look like my dad.
with boobs.
Blech.

With all affection and respect.

Just hush.

I second Uncle

If you look like your dad with boobs, then your dad was a very pretty man. I have total hair envy, too.

Glad to hear surgery went so well. I listed the goal as completed, but I’m still sending prayers and good energy your way.

I wish

That was pre-diagnosis.
That was more “I’m quitting this miserable job and going back to school, yay!” grin.

All for naught.
