      I saw that show. I don't know why I didn't change the channel. It is a sign that I have mentally went south. No offence, I like her, just not enough to watch her show.

       

      Rachael needs to some breast. Pear shaped and flat. She has the money.

      I requesed the anti-nausea drug Zofran after hearing about it here. It worked quite well. With a clean brain MRI, it is the chemo. I am glad you got the MRI done.One less thing to worry about.

      Jerry,

      You stubborn old bastard. Now you have an excuse for your typing skills, eyesight:)

      Set your computer screen to a higher zoom level. I run mine at 125% with no issues.

      So glad to hear you will be leaving the hospital. You are blessed to have such wonderful children.

      This is based on the info you have provided.

       

      Stage IIA (T2bN0M0 or T3aN0M0)

      • T2b: the tumor is 1.01-2.0 mm thick, with ulceration
      • T3a: the tumor is 2.01-4.0 mm thick, with no ulceration
      • N0: the tumor has not spread to nearby lymph nodes
      • M0: the tumor has not spread to sites distant from the primary tumor

       

      It is important to do the follow up and see an oncologist.

       

      Here are the treatment options for stage IIa

      When I was dx'ed stage II, I was with Kaiser. I also did the interferonbut my dosage was high. 40 MIU high and 20 MIU 3 times a week low dosage. Interferon affected me greatly. Kaiser was effecient with the treatments and surgeries.

      I forgot about Emend. I thought it was always given after chemo.
