    Hi @traveltext wow just read your story, a little scary as I think i'm very similar to you with  this cancer, mines on the right side, I will need to remove all the nodes from underarm when there reduced in size and the ones they can't get to they will attack with radiation, I will need to keep a close eye on the prostate as my father had it and on his side of the family has a long list of various types of cancers,

    Best to have an annual PSA check for prostate cancer. I have to say, in my case, it was an easier "fix" and has a much better prognosis than my breast cancer.

    You say you are having toe nail issues, but what about your finger nails? I was offered ice mittens to wear during chemo and had no issues. Ask your team if these are available for your taxol doses.

    What stage was you cancer diagnosed as? I'm assuming surgery will follow the chemo. Is this correct?

    Do keep us posted as your treatment progresses.
