I have no energy, the doctors all say something different


How strong I am


pain from site, open cavity that bleeds and releases other not so pleasant things,weak


they put the blue dye in my live diseased breast on 04-26-04, then as they put me to sleep they acccidently gave me a shot of adrenalyn (sp) so I had to redo the blue dye on 04-28-04 on my 18th anniversary after they had checked to make sure there was no cardiac danger.


36 days straight on the last few I had to be remarked because my skin was liquid. August 2004


They removed all my teeth because they said the chemo and radiation would kill their roots. I went through 5 cycles of the red devil and 10 taxol. I am still on femara

I am in “remission” from stage 4 breast cancer. Although I am still on femara. I have had a most unpleasant experience and am told time and time again that it is normal.I have not strength,constant pain, and a large hole in my chest that either seeps blood or other unnatural substances. Does anyone else experience such a thing?

Sharron – I haven’t heard of a situation like yours, but someone here might of. Have you tried a different doctor?
