About Me
2008 has been overwhelming for me and my family. My Mom died of breast cancer and I was diagnosised with breast cancer 6 weeks later. I'm trying to stay positive and keep faith, but I struggle with that and with lonliness.

Support Groups
Close Breast Cancer
Stage: IIA (T1 N1)I was diagnosised 11-10-08. I am 19 weeks into chemo. Having a lot of side effects. My Mom died of breast cancern 6 weeks prior to my diagnosis.
Treatments
- Adriamycin Too Soon to Tell
- I was very sick with this drug. Had to have it for 8 weeks. Have since switched drugs.
- Chemotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Still in the process. Need to have 16 treatments, have had 14. Have had a lot of problems with the side effects.
- Radiotherapy Considering
- Will start radiation after chemotherapy.
- Surgery Somewhat Helpful
- Had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy which was positive. Still considering mastectomy after chemo. I have family history and my cancer was termed "aggressive".
- Taxol Too Soon to Tell
- Have had 10 treatments of taxol. Need to have 2 more. Have had a great deal of neuropathy and body aches, but no nausea.
Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentMy Mom died September 1, 2008 after a 19 year battle with breast cancer. She was my best friend. I could talk to her about anything. I was diagnosised with breast cancer 6 weeks later. I really miss her and need her. She would be my main support. I am lost without her.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I feel better after I cry, but could cry all the time if I let myself.
- Getting Angry Not Working
- I tend to get angry with my kids more frequently and I know it's because I'm stressed and missing my Mom.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- Right after she died, I couldn't stop moving. I began digging new garden beds. I hated to stop moving. It helped, but then I was diagnosised with breast cancer and that has slowed me down.
- Prayer Somewhat Helpful
- I want to keep my faith, but I find it very difficult. When I'm discouraged, I tend to stop praying.
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I want to talk, but have no one to talk to. I live in a new town and don't have a friend to talk to. My husband is not the talking type. Maybe this website will help.
