Breast cancer patient

I am going through Chemo right now for 4 cycles in FL. I used the Digicap for my forth treatment and everything went fine. I was able to stand the cold knowing that I probably wouldn’t lose my hair.

Arimidex and side effects vs Tamoxafin

I have used Arimidex for 9+ years with no side effects except for the time I was switched to 2 generic cheaper meds because my insurance refused to pay. I was lucky that my doctors went to bat for me and got the insurance to agree to pay again. The agonizing joint pain forced me to use crutches during those months and I still have some even af…

I was diagnosed with Stage 2a breast cancer in September 2015. While preparing to receive traditional external radiation after my partial mastectomy I learned, from a friend, that there was another option for radiation…Proton Radiation therapy.

Perfect 10

Because the results of my chromosomal test revealed I was likely to respond well to treatment, but my AML would most likely to recur, a stem cell transplant was recommended. I underwent induction +3 regimens of chemo before undergoing an allo transplant donated by a 43 year old female from Germany (unrelated). She matched me 10/10!

Our Only Option

With my lung cancer and the location of the tumors, my oncologist, Dr. Lalan Wilfong, said that my options were limited. Surgery wasn’t an option and neither was radiation. Chemo was the only choice available to me. Take it or leave it.

Once upon a time, I vehemently opposed chemotherapy. In the mid-70’s I watched my dad go through chemo trea…

Looking at treatment

Well I can’t say I really evaluated my options, I just figured the doctors know what is best and I had never delt with this before, so I just did what they said, radiation, chemo, sleep, eat if you can, drink fluids, get outside when you have the energy, do not just lay around, get up, do what you can.
