My Medical Oncologist called yesterday....the Oncotype DX score was 8 out of 100...so no Chemo...going for the Radiation and Hormone Therapy...next week I will do the mock run and start the following week...living there during the week and home on…

Well, my experience has certainly been much easier than your, Beth. Thank goodness you're getting good news about your overall health though! I still haven't seen my oncologist, and I suspect that I won't need chemo or radiation but…

Yes...it was really hard...a week apart...I remember when the surgeon called me...it was very upsetting and I could not sleep at all that night and for the 2 1/2 hour ride to the hospital (yes we live that far from our doctors). I did not do too…

Wow, Beth. I can't imagine doing it again after a week. I still have to see the oncologist about further treatment, so haven't had to think about chemo yet. Glad your supports have been as effective as mine!

And, I forgot to add, that you're a survivor the minute you're diagnosed! So, call yourself a survivor because you definitely want to survive and beat this disease!

I too was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer this summer. It has been a roller coaster of emotions for a couple of months. I have had two surgeries...the first one with all margins clean except the bottom two so exactly a week later a second surgery…

I'm not a survivor yet
I was diagnosed on Tuesday and don't have any information yet except one area is "invasive". I have my first surgeon appt tomorrow. I've chosen to disseminate my diagnosis widely among my many friends because it helps me to feel surrounded by love and good wishes. I'm still really scared, though. Mostly about the treatments.
