Breast Cancer/OT
My thoughts are with you. I will think of you every time I get into my car
and see my pink ribbon. -- Boca Jan Southern Florida - land of the hurricanes http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/poo_de_doo/my_photos "pami" wrote in message ... I am sure all you have heard Daniel Powder's song..."Bad Day" well this was my bad day. I learned I have breast cancer. I had my lumpectomy this week and it came back as malignant garde 3 tumor. I will have to get a "masectomy" and have chemo. This has been a rough day for me but I don't think I have the strength to cry anymore. I know I will lose my hair and this really sucks but if I have to do this to keep alive then I will have the surgery and do chemo. I will settle for chemo hats verus hair for life. I'll be 51 in May and this seems not fair but I get my mammos yearly and watched and it could of been worse. Last year I had a lumpectomy in the other breast and that was benign this year my luck ran out. I see and hear of so many survivors and I know this group has always been here for me when ever I needed them. Pami |

Hey Pami,
I am going through this w/ my mother right now. She already had the mastectomy, grade II poorly differentiated tumor. Will start chemo on 5/9. _I_'m already tired and it's just getting started. Also very depressing. They want her to go have the $3000 genetic testing to see if she has the "gene" for breast cancer. Well, lemme see...her mother, her aunt, and she have all had breast cancer, her uncle had two other kinds of cancer...I'm thinking save the $3k! Also heard a rumor that if the insurance company finds out you have the gene, they will deny all claims on the basis of pre-existing condition!!! sigh Good luck w/ yours. Mom just went and got a wig last week. L "pami" wrote in message ... I am sure all you have heard Daniel Powder's song..."Bad Day" well this was my bad day. I learned I have breast cancer.

I have that EIC in my path report and it would always return so it's a must
to get the breast off. I will have them do the nodes, chemo port and the breast all in one shot....no need to knock me out again. I've also heard that about that genetic testing....so maybe the less the insurance company knows the better. will be zonked before all this starts but I have 2 weeks of healing before chemo after my mastectomy. I just might buy myself an ipod and have my son download the songs on it and take that to chemo with me. I don't think I'll go for a wig...I'll wear some chemo caps. Pami |

FYI: there is prolly no way you can have genetic testing without your
insurance company finding out. There is this entity called the Medical Information Bureau, to which all the insurance companies subscribe. Any time you sign permission slips for information to be released, they can get your information, and I don't know of any way that WE could see what they have on us.... Anyway, I'm sure the testing center would send info to them if you had it done, and who can afford $3k for a test?

Glad you are doing all you can and undergoing all tests possible. Keep a
positive outlook and ignore the negative. The cost of tests is minimal when it comes to living a full life.
