    • Close Breast Cancer
      Stage: IIA (T2 N0)

      While working at my computer, I turned to get something…I felt a hard lump im my right chest. Being in denial, I did not want to tell my kids, friends, and especially my mom. I wanted information and answers, but yet I didn’t want to go too deep. I did not want to have a “pity party”. I wanted to take it as it comes. If the end was near, I don’t want to know. I like to make light of situations through humor. But as the tests proceeded, no one was laughing…it was a very sobering experience.

      Treatments

      Mastectomy Working / Worked
      A mastectomy was done and 22 lymph nodes removed. No cancer was detected in any of the lymph nodes. I was very fortunate and came out of surgery with very little pain.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      November 1, removed lump the size of a golf ball from my right breast. Coming out of anestisia, I heard the nurse and pathologist say that they would be seeing me again.
      Mastectomy Working / Worked
      The morning of the 15th, the results of the tests were back, the cancer had not spread.
      Arimidex Working / Worked
      Replacement for Tamoxifen---too soon to tell.
    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I went to the doctor for one thing and he found another. Not being well versed in HIPPA, he left the results on my answering machine which my daughter was first to review. She was shocked by the news!

      Treatments

      Byetta Too Soon to Tell
      Currently stopped!!! Deadly side effect under investigation.
      Glipizide Somewhat Helpful
      Recently added to lower my sugars.
      Metformin Working / Worked
      Works, but have recently had to add more medications!
      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Somewhat Helpful
      Used on a sliding scale due to a pulmonary embolism.
    • Open Pulmonary Embolism

      I passed out at my sister's house on my mom's birthday, May 27th. Having a past history of asthma and blod clots, I felt that this was more like passing blood clots again. Unfortunately, I was right. I spent the next 5 days in the hospital.

      Treatments

      Lovenox Working / Worked
      Extreme discomfort for the first hour after injection. Found that the slower that it is injected the less the discomfort and bruising.
      Coumadin Working / Worked
      I've been on it before in 2000 for about 6 months. Now I have been told I will be on it the rest of my life.
