Tim > Well that's fitting that something this horrible would have horns! > > Craig It looks like a varroa mite, which is a parasite of honey bees. How fascinating to have your picture though, I wish I had mine. Mary > My friend posted pix of my tumor. Why? I have NO idea, but she's trying to > help.

If the skin is involved (thats more than dimpling) its a T4 tumor. The size thats given on the screen indicates a T1c tumor. The size on the next screen (no pic) indicates a T2 tumor, presumeably they included the spikes in the measurement. I later saw the report, Dr Amin describes a T2-sized tumor and a lymph node. In his summary he incorrectly says both lumps are in the axilla yet the main tumor is at 7 o'clock, oh well... Usual third world grammar unfortunately so its a problem to decipher precisely what he really means.. HTH,  Signaturemadiba *Metastases are separate from the primary tumor, such as in the lymph nodes or bones, lung, etc. > > My friend posted pix of my tumor. Why?

(Sorry for the language, but you don't > know what it's taking me!) > > Why can't I just get it cut out???????? Your frustration is totally understandable. I'm based in Europe and accustomed to national health systems, so your predicament is a rarity here. Even our illegal aliens get operations, not sure about elective ones.. OTOH the state deducts about $800 a month off my paycheck for health insurance, something I use maybe once a decade on the basis of 'physician heal thyself' so its easy to see how the state can afford to be 'generous' and offer cancer operations for free. Signaturemadiba Kili, Your smart in getting it out. I first had a lumpectomy and then needed a Mastectomy...then I had to get a port put in for chemo...I had 3 surgeries in 2 weeks and chemo from the third week after Mastectomy. My next surgery will be a reconstruction when chemo is all done. My lump had irregularly bordersa nd was 1.58cm on the sono and when they took it out it was 2.2cm and had cancer grade 3 tumor on all margins. Keep up the fight. I am nauseaus (sp) form the chemo. Pami Hang is there.....are you taking anything for the nausea? Alex > Kili, > Your smart in getting it out.

Nothing works to good got me..nausea is nausea. Pami Kytril and zofran worked wonders for me. Compazine for me wasn't effective. Alex >I am taking compazine something the chemo doctor gave me.

Nothing works to >>good got me..nausea is nausea. >>Pami To be most effective Kytril/Zofran have to be taken -before- the nausea starts, preferably administered with the chemo. Pami, do tell the oncologist about your nausea. Tim Pami, The compazine did not work out for Jill either. She has switched to Kytril and that is working better. Good luck, Craig >I am taking compazine something the chemo doctor gave me. Nothing works to >good got me..nausea is nausea. > Pami |
