    That's great Linda. Good luck with the chemo, you will get through it and out the other side. I am just about to start radiotherapy. It's a long process but you will come to the end of it!

    take care

    Well done you. Chemo sounds so daunting, but once you get started you will realize it is doable...just read the blogs and know many of us have been there and will be with you on the way. I am a big fan of green juice as well :)

    big hugs

    Hi Linda,   I hope you are able to have a subcutaneous Mastectomy   I absolutely love my new Foobies  :-)  

    I have heard of some patients doing chemo first - I will be having the auxiliary clearance after chemo - suppose some surgeons and oncologist work differently as per one's diagnosis :-)

    I went for a ECHO today prior to chemo .. but they were not able to see the heart from all angles through the prothesis , but heart is healthy.. lets just hope it stays healthy :-(

    Thanks for the tip re green juice - it is my stable along with Wheat Grass Juice shot every day - being doing wheat grass shot that for years though..  will def do walking every day I think.. well my thinking is if you move .. the body will pump our the toxins of chemo faster - hey .. I have to hold onto some theories .... All the best for your surgery  xxx

    Hugs

    Thanks Paula,

    Yeah I bought the "Sally Obermeder - Super Green Smoothies" book  - am sure you know about her, :-)

    she underwent 8 months chemo then wrote this book - she is on tv somewhere ... Lol..  I have Wheat Grass Juice shot every day been doing that for years... well I did stop for 2 years :-(   But since my diagnosis, have a shot every single day - its so gross but really good for healing :-)

    I must say i have never felt alone throughout this journey and this blog did for sure make me realise that Chemo is necessary and I so can do this - because you all have :-)  well as they say .. the only way out is through (chemo) 

    Hugs

    Linda

    Hi Lisa, 

    All the best for Radiation, i won't be doing radiation but will have surgery for auxiliary clearance - so lymphodema (sp) is a possibility .. Boo I say!  

    But will deal with first 3 months of them, then second 3 months, then worry about surgery then we will be booking a beautiful cruise to the Med for my 25th Wedding anniversary in sept 2016 - So hope all hair grown back by then :-)

    Hugs

    linda
