It did creep me out though whenever I drove because the seatbelt came across it, and I kept having nightmares about being in a minor wreck and having the belt pop it out. You might want to invest in one of those seat belt cover thingies. Or maybe, it won't bother you. I hope not. I got a Neulast injection 24 hours after every chemo treatment. I can't tell you how much that helped with my blood counts and feeling anemic and wrung out. You will get through this and be a stronger person for it.

Like you I didn't have any risk factors - no family history. I was diagnosed 2 months ago, have aggressive grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma stage 1A. Like you, I thought that I would get by without chemo - but alas I am HER2+, so here I am, in hospital after my first chemo session with neutrophenia. Your story has given me so much hope. I just wanted to thank you for sharing. I was searching for information about portcaths and came upon your site. Your photo has helped me to decide to have one as I can't handle all the blood tests and injections as my veins are collapsing. SO the information you have provided has been very useful. All the very best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715895375151487456.post-88927485205950399032015-12-21T21:14:50.310-05:002015-12-21T21:14:50.310-05:00Lena, do see your doctor, but don't panic.

And although bruises normally go away, you can get what's called an "oil cyst" in your breast secondary to trauma. It can be confirmed on a mammogram. Also, breast cancer is rare in women under 50, but sadly, it is usually more aggressive, so don't hesitate to see your doctor whenever you have any physical changes in your breasts. Stay positive, and keep the faith. Good luck with your appointment.

I know it feels like a long haul in front of you but focusing on the positives around you will help and before you know it, you'll be walking in for your last treatment. Yay! I don't have a real answer for you on the second sense feelings other than to say you aren't crazy. You're walking a hugely intense experience, both for you and many others who have been where you are. Who knows how that level of intensity can manifest itself? Your question raised the hairs on my arms because although I considered radiation easy after surgeries and chemo, I experienced some crazy odd emotional upheavals during my six weeks of radiation. I bawled my eyes out on day one, even though I really didn't feel scared. Mid way through my six weeks, I had one day of utter fear as I climbed into the machine, and a profound sadness settled on my shoulders one day when a woman I'd seen several times emerged from the treatment chamber with a balloon and announced she was done. I never could explain any of that to myself, but ultimately, I didn't need to. I needed to survive. So, say a silent prayer for the source of those feelings and then focus on doing what needs doing to take care of you.

It'...Congrats on getting through 36 treatments! It's a tough battle, but it can be won. I am now a 6 year survivor.<br /><br />Radiation has no smell, but perhaps some other smell (hospital disinfectant or the rubber used in making the molds) has triggered some long-buried memory. Smells are often linked to our memories. Or maybe your journey has made you more empathetic and you are sensing the emotions of other patients. Many cancer patients survive, but sadly some do not. My daughter is a radiation therapist and she has lost several patients in her short career. She puts on a happy face everyday, but some patients and their stories just get to her. People leave imprints on your heart--sometimes those people are strangers or patients. Perhaps you are even picking up on the emotions of the therapist. Ignore the sad, negative feelings. Concentrate on the positive. Reach out for the hope and joy of those who have been cured.<br /><br />Good luck and God bless!

I'm a very strong person but it shocked me!!!! One weird question?? I get a lot of second sense feelings when I go the radiation center??? Feelings of suffering, bizarre feeling surround me, I'm not afraid or worried about the treatment? What are these feelings, is there a smell I'm feeling? Am I crazy?
