Hi Liz,

I want to wish you good luck with chemo, will you be doing it down at Cleveland Clinic where you had your surgery. We were there for a follow up with Dr. Campbell today. Gene is doing well and I wish the same for you. Take care, Ginger

Liz,

Can I ask where you had your surgery? I am so concerned about that fact that so many lymph nodes were involved. Did nothing show up on the scans prior to surgery?

MVAC is a very strong chemo, but also can be very effective especially on the lymph nodes. Keep us posted.

Liz,

I have not been in your situation but I have emailed a lady I know that you might like to hear from. If it helps I do know people that have had distant mets of the liver and other organs that are still kicking around many years after finishing chemo.
Keep us updated.

Chin up and straight forward

I am a 41 year old female who had my r/c on 11/15. I am scheduled to start chemo on 1/9/08 type MVAC and I believe the oncologist said a double dose.

This is because my tumor was High Grade T2b G3 with 28 out of 50 nodes involved.

I am scared to 'you know what'. Are there any survivors out there on this site with the same amount of lymph node involvment?

I need positive re-enforcement right now!

Liz
