The Beginning

You can't be Tonya's twin - I am!!.  We will have to be triplets.  We are similar ages with similar stories.  This is my second diagnosis - have just finished chemo and am looking to regain my LIFE.  I still have both breasts although the affected left breast wants to hide under my armpit due to all the surgery.  My radiation oncologist told me that after radiation therapy and chemo that I would be cured. I love him.  My surgeon who I saw this week filled out the form for me to have more scans and on it says metatastic bc in the axilla.  Scares me to bits that I have a secondary - even if it is in the same area as the initial diagnosis.  I will be terrified when I have the scans done - they were all clear before chemo.  I told my medical oncologist yesterday that I would not have chemo again.  He said never say never. (I never really warmed to him so now I dislike him more!!!)  My way of thinking is if they think I might need chemo again then that means they think that this bloody bc might return.  Can't bear to think about that but it makes me very on guard.  If you let it, it could really do your head in.  Please add me as a contact so we can keep the "triplets" in tact.  XLeonie
