Close Adoption
Type: Open Adoption

My Husband and I adopted our Grandson, he is now 5, I would like to hear stories of other Grandparents adopting their Grandchildren. Thanks

Close Breast Cancer
Stage: IIB (T3 N0)

I had a lumpectomy in Jan. 06, my tumor was 3cm, nodes were clean, Iam stage 2 grade 3, had chemo and rads and Iam Braca 2 positive, I will have my ovaries removed in Dec 06

Treatments

Adriamycin Too Soon to Tell

I did very well, had a port put in, but chemo was not fun, thats for sure, the side affects our someting else, it messes with your head.

Radiotherapy Too Soon to Tell

I did very well, I had 36 treatments, including 10 boosts, only got a little red, felt very lucky.

Surgery Working / Worked

I had lumpectomy in Jan 06, it very well, drain is the worst though had a drain for 3 weeks.

Effexor Somewhat Helpful

I used to cry so much when I was first dx with breast cancer, I seem a little more calmer now.

Hysterectomy Working / Worked

I was sure sore the first few days, now I know what women go though with a C- section. I do wonder what I will feel like, hot flashes and all that fun stuff, you can get.
