had the chemo rads and all was NED until aug 2003 when discovered mets
to upper mediastinal..been on femara since november 2003 when uh oh
last month i started to have tummy pains and went back to onc who
ordered ct scans and sonogram and guess what??  the darn cancer has
now mets to lymph nodes in abdomen.  not a secondary thank god but
from orig bc.

had 6 weeks of intense rads march to may 2004 for upper mediastinal
and now this crap.

had surgery today to place port in cuz i am starting chemo friday once
a week for 4 to 6 months of taxotere.

Linda,
   So sorry to hear you are going thru it, YET AGAIN!..I don't know
anything about mets not even my own, which I have. But, I'm wishing you
all the best and 50% sounds pretty good to me...Pat From Apple VAlley, CA

Linda, sorry to hear that you are having difficulty.  DARN!  No fun :-(  I have
had enlarged retroperitoneal nodes and an enlarged aortocaval node from the
start--thats over 3 years.  By the way, um, can't remember did you have lobular
or ductal bc?  It is just as likely that lobular will metastasize to the
abdomina/gastrointestinal area as anywhere else.
Anyway...My best thoughts  and positive prayers are with you.  {{{Hugs}}}

Hi Linda,
I'm so very sorry to hear you are doing this yet again.  I don't have a
single constructive thing to contribute, except that I'm thinking of you and
hoping and praying that your next chemo plays *&## on the cancer cells and
that you have few (or no) side effects. Hugs.
Barb
