Happy Halloween 2018!!
 
Thank you! Pre-op is tomorrow, Then Surgery is Feb 28th. If one could only plan for this financially, it has to be the most stressful journey that is just beginning! Any donations will NOT be used for anything but my expenses. I am not one to ever ask for help, but this disease puts you in a place that sometimes you have to put your pride aside. Contrary to popular belief the Canadian Cancer Society does not help with anything except rides. Again Bryan.....Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting! :)
 
For everyone that has donated. THANK YOU! You have no idea in how much this will be helping. I just got back from my pre-op. I am down to 110 lbs:eek: As if I can afford to lose weight. I dont have family that most people have, except my two adults kids, and my brother. My children have been absolutely amazing, and I hope and pray daily that it hasnt spread to my lymph nodes. I know I will have to do radiation, but am scared beyond belief in doing chemo. I just want this over and done with and get back to work. Bryan, and everyone else thank you. I mean that. Its been quite an emotional rollercoaster. And all you women, keep checking, don't rely on mammos. I had one done and it was missed. I found my tumor by self exam 3 months after the mammography. Keeping positive vibes! :)
 
Aw,I really hope you will recover from this soon.
To leave a positive vibe, I know 2 ladies who were diagnosed with same and both recovered amazingly well from it!!
One colleague and a wife of a good friend from me and my wife.
They received treatment and did both fully recover. :):)

Donation made and I wish you all the best!

Thank you! <3 The days are counting down!
 
I genuinely wish you all the very best in the times which lie ahead.

Here's to positivity and a very speedy, successful recovery :D

Would happily donate but unfortunately cannot right now, sorry about that Jen. :o

Take care and look forward to hearing your good news when all has been successful!
Thank you! And it's ok about not being able to donate. I will be posting when I am up and at em. And again, thanks for the well wishes.<3
 
Wishing you a very speedy recovery Jennifer, what a difficult time this must be for you. I hope you raise all the funds you need for this journey,

We have left a donation too :) Sending positive vibes :thumbsup:

Best of luck,

Rachel.
Rachel. I hope everyone see's your donation. It speaks volumes about you as a person, but also as a Casino! I truly hope you get good blessings. I hope everyone does. I am a mess emotionally right now. This disease makes you live in constant fear. From finding the tumor, biopsy, invasive tests, Surgery, lymph node biopsy, results to see what stage your at, treatments. You try not to be scared but its almost virtually impossible. I was part of a online support group and saw that fear with everyone else. I saw how messed up Breast Cancer really is, that it isnt cut and dry. If you have positive hormone receptors then it becomes more aggressive, if you have negative receptors then something else different. Most I don't understand because I havent had my Surgery yet. I have seen where people have been " cancer free" a number of years and its almost always come back in their bones, brain. I left the group for now. There is no counseling available until AFTER your treatments start. I am downing ensure drinks to try and get my weight back up. Ten days from now I will have nuclear dye injected in my tumor and areola, I will lose half my breast and some lymph nodes. And not soon after that I will see what stage I am at. If I had a penny for everytime I heard ' your a strong person'. Im scared. and i am really sorry for babbling
 
Don't be sorry..
I think it is good that you can share your fears and emotions with other people..
I will follow you and I hope all will end up well soon!!

Don't be afraid and sorry for babbling! :):)

First time I have really broken down since I found out. I cant stop crying. lol. Thanks <3
 
My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago. It was pretty bad because it was in her lymph nodes.

She had a mastectomy and intense chemo treatment.

She has been cancer free for 3.5 years.

You can do this, many people conquer this disease every day.

You got this girl!
 
Im doing better now. I needed to cry like that, it's been coming :) My Surgeon is trying to avoid a full mastectomy because the tumor is sitting high ( 12 oclock position) I can actually see it. And I dont have enough tissue to do flaps. But he said if the margins and lymph nodes come back positive then I will have to go back and get it done and he will just do skin graphs. I will pray that your Aunt continues to stay cancer free! And thanks!
 
Thanks everyone! This time next week I will be saying goodbye to " Tony" the tumor! Yes I named it ;) And besides being happy for obvious reasons, it is starting to hurt.

Thanks for the donations
Thanks for allowing me to vent and cry
Thanks for allowing me to share <3 <3 <3

My daughter will be here next weekend , she lives 3 cities away. I raised my 2 kids as a single mum and I have no regrets in doing so. They both are truly amazing adults, and I cant wait until she gets here. I will be busy over the next 7 days getting things in order. Wish me good vibes, prayers that it hasnt reached my lymph nodes. And all you females, stay diligent in self checking. Cheers for now :)

PS. Bryan......Thank you!
 
I wish i could spare anything at the moment, but have been struggling lately, due to various mishaps and unforeseen costs, and still struggling to make things better..so before i could donate i would need donations myself :o

Doesn't mean i feel along with you, and so wish to send you a speedy donation target (pretty impressed with what has already been donated by just a handful of members and others!) and afterwards a fantastically professional medical procedure, executed perfectly, with a recovery speed never before seen in medical history! :)

Keep your chin up and think positive, because that is one of the most important things in the healing process, or so i believe.
All the best!
 

Awwe, Thank you! I sincerely hope that what ever is going on in your life turns for the better! I will be sending nothing but positive power your way, I truly mean that! As far as the donations go, I was not expecting the response that I have gotten. I believe with every fiber in me that you get back what you give! I have kept every persons name ( nic names included) in hopes that someday I can give back. It could be years, but I don't forget. And I hope good things come their way. You included :)
 
Hi everyone. The days are quickly counting down now! :eek: I am asking everyone here, on my facebook, twitter, if you can't donate, please share. I am beyond grateful for any help that I have been given. I have used a big chunk on ensure to get my weight back up and stabilized. When you are 5'5, 110 lbs is not good. I have lost just over 20lbs, and the government doesnt cover the cost unless it's your only life line. I have lost 4 pay cheques now, and will get a cheque from the government for 950 dollars next week. My rent is 1200, plus gas, hydro, water. Plus there is a big list of foods that are " no can do and neutral" for when I start my treatments. And who knows what else is going to pop up. Does it sound like I am panicking? I am. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. #kissmybuttcancer!
 
To whoever donated 500 dollars, I am assuming it came from here, my friends don't have that kind of money. THANK YOU! I am absolutely speechless. I am trying to find words, and I can't. There is goodness in this world. Its taking me a bit to write this. I really hope to god that you get so much given back to you. And Steveidoo, likewise! I wish there was more I could say :( Please know how happy you have made me. All of you. Man thats all I do anymore is cry. lol

I had no idea Steviedoo was female???? whattttt

Anyways nice job everyone.

We all love you Jennifer (we both have the same name btw). You are never alone here :)

And Im sorry. My mind is all over the place. Nice to see a real name outside a nic! Thank you for the well wishes! I think steviedoo is both husband and wife?
 
No just the wife...my husband hates gambling....

Well, Thank you! I remember when everyone thought I was a 67 year old man, until I posted my pic last summer, lol. And you are right.........just breath! I was looking at my picture, and remember my daughter had come to visit, she said " mom are you ok?" " You are losing weight". I put it down to stress. I had been trying to get my business going, taking my landlord to court. And then I found the lump in November. I went back to work in January so I could keep the business running and live, under the assumption that it was just a Fibernoid, that is what everyone thought. Until the biopsy results came back. Ten days after starting the new job. I didn't realize how much weight I had lost until pre-op. I would have had the Surgery already, but due to budget cut backs, the one and only hospital here closed down for a week starting on family day. When I say closed down, I mean unless it was life threatening, all procedures and surgeries were put on hold.
 
Hi everyone. Well tomorrow is the day of Surgery, and I will also find out what stage I am and if it has gone to my lymph nodes. Lymph node positive will mean radiation and chemo, negative will mean just radiation. Radiation will be everyday except weekends for 20-25 days. Wish me luck! :)

Jennifer...

On the subject of chemo..I know it's very scary for you right now...the unknown always is..

...I sat daily with someone who went through chemo and radiation for months....chemo has changed the last few years....they pack you with so many anti everything before they give you the chemo cocktail....it was bearable....the anti nausea, anti pain anti almost everything they give you will help you....you will be ok....you will be...believe that and see yourself going through this process and coming out of it. Positive vibes your way....
 
Hi everyone. Thought I would say a quick hello and update. First of all thank you for the well wishes and prayers. And thnak you so much for caring! It means more then I can express. I ended up having a partial mastectomy, stapled from armpit and across almost the full top of my breast. I had some problems in recovery, I could a bell going off in the distance, I thought I was dreaming and when I was able to come to it was an alarm and them trying to get oxygen on me. I had dropped down to 69%. They gave me morphine while I was there. Yesterday I switched the dressing and almost passed out when I saw the incicians No pain yesterday but my armpit feels like its on fire today. I thought I would get the results right there, but I have to wait until post op next wed. I cant type anymore. Talk after. Thank you

I'm feeling a bit better today :). I had a best friend of 30 years die of cancer, I saw what chemo did. It was horrible. Now having said that. THE TUMOR IS OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO! :lolup: I cant believe that part of this journey is finally over. It seems so surreal and hard to believe it has only been 2 months. The health care system here sucks big time. When I got to second recovery room, they were pushing me out the door. I couldnt even stand, I was all woozy, and the nurse was trying to get my tights on. I kept saying to her, slow down, Im going to throw up. She had one hand on a bed pan and another pulling the tights up. At least she was efficient in her rushing. My family doctor called yesterday, the hospital was suppose to set me up with home care, and they didnt, plus only sent me home with two dressing pads. So I have to see my GP this aft, so she can look and clean me up properly. For some reason I thought I would have my results the same day, but I have to wait until next Wed, post-op. Ok, that is enough of my bitching, lol. Its out of me, and heres hoping it hasnt spread :)
 
The very best to Jen on this day. I will give my prayer's to the gods and donate as best I can.
God be with you at your time of need,He will see you thru.Peace Out! Out Of The Mist! shewoff

God has my back through everything! I have never doubted that ( well maybe when I first found out) Thank you! :)
 
Good luck Jennifer - I hope today you'll have good news - lots of people here care about you.

Bryan. What can I possibly say to you. Thank you doesnt seem enough! I will have my results next Wed. Everyone here has been so great, even more then my friends. Canada for all its diversity, doesn't do the family culture as much as other countries. It's actually sad. <3
