About Me:
At 33 years old, I was diagnosed with breast cancer on February 12, 2008 after going for my first baseline mammogram and sonogram. This then led to multiple biopsies and MRIs. Dr's found three small lumps on my left side, both ductal and lobular. None of what was found could have been detected by a doctor through a physical examination... so I've been told that I am extremely lucky that this was caught, and that I must have had an "angel looking over me". I feel very fortunate that I have an extremely supportive and loving husband, family and friends to help me through this bump in the road...

Hi Sara, I think some people handle cancer differently.. some people just want to crawl up and not be bothered by anyone... some people don't want anyone to know they even have cancer... but I thi... Read More »

Hi Musique!
I grew up in LIttle Neck!
Now I'm in Orange County, NY about an hour, hour and a half away from you. My daughter goes to Queens College!
How are you doing?

Hey You,
I can't find where you left your email so we can really chat about what's up. Mine is:
rachelwsperry@hotmail.com
Shoot me a note and let me know what's up with work.

Lisa,
Oh honey...
I feel like our journey while not the same is very similiar. From embryos to eyebrows. I hope we remain friends and get to see how all of this pans outs. I know it will be bright for both of us!
I did some concerning reading on here about Tamoxafin...Have you done any research? I guess lots of people refuse this treatment?! Any thoughts?
As for feeling bad in your own skin...I think that is the hardest part.
I watch commercials and think to myself..."they don't even appreciate that hair on their head"
The best advice I have gotten is to try and be gentle with yourself. Give yourself a "get out of jail free card" from having to be anything, but a person undergoing cancer treatment.
I'm trying to find ways to just relax and let myself be "in this" rather than trying to be perky, postiive and everyone else's inspiration.
It sounds like you are doing some isolating yourself? I know I have....
You should come upstate and camp out on the couch with me for a week...
We can be bald and feeling unattractive together!
How is the work stuff going? I'm finding I'm not so productive and feelling guilty about that too?
Ohhh...so much to talk about!
I hope I didn't overwhelm you. You just seem like the best person to connect with these days.
I hope I can be of some support to you.
When this ends we get a whole new lease on life...
In the meantime be kind to you!
Hugs
Rach

Hey There,
I guess we've both been getting our butt kicked. I hope you are bouncing back, have you started the taxol? I have one more to go, Thursday, July 10th. I had a dip in my white blood cell count too...just laying low over the holiday weekend...Bracing myself for the last round. I know it will get worse before it gets better...my eyebrows are barely holding on, but I don't think they will last another round. Do they come back?
I'm still feeling lousy both physically and mentally, but I'm looking forward to August being a rebirth. I hope radiation is as easy as people make it sound.
I did find a new wig w/ a headband in my hair color. I got it trimmed up and it is tolerable to wear. That has been a positive.
Any positives for you?
How are you holding up my friend?
Hugs
Rach

What you described for your carepage is exactly what I am feeling. I could have written that. I know people feel that way, and I hate that you are too, but it is nice to feel a little "normal". Us "young ones" hear that so much and can feel a little freaky as it is....

I was reading that as I was trying to eat some peaches and getting overly emotional at the fact that they had NO TASTE! Peaches should not make you cry- haha

Hey girl, stopping to give you a good hard pinch on the ass, just because it's fun. Can you feel it? Be prepared, I will strike again. No one expects the Spanish Inquistion.

*giant hugs* :)

this has been a random run-by hugging.. as you were.

Hey Lisa,
How are you holding up? I just got hit yesterday and feel myself going down for the count. I just wanted to let you know I''m thinking of you and wishing you a bouncy return.
Sending hugs!
