Breast cancer

1st time non-hodgkins lymphoma and thyroid cancer
2nd time thyroid cancer

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2011 at age 45. Had salvage radiation treatments in 2013 because PSA levels where continuing to rise. First post radiation PSA check was very good at .009. Hopefully they continue to go down to an undetectable level. Will have recurring checks every 6 months. Just joined MFP and found this group. Will be walking the Biggest Loser Half Marathon in Las Cruces NM on January 26th.

Finished the Half Marathon in 2 hours and 47 minutes. It was 5 th overall and 1st in my age group.

Super awesome job! That's great!

Try hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Google. 57 centres in uk helps post radiotherapy

Mine was Fallopian tube tube cancer, quite rare & agressive. this week I am 3yrs post surgery! Yeay!
:happy:

Good Luck

Just had my 6 month PSA check and my level is now .002. That is really close to being undetectable. That is very good news. Maybe that will come at my next check. Remember guys to get checked and ladies make sure to have your guys checked.

Happy to find this group! I recently finished treatment for a sarcoma (a retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, to be exact!). Tumor was the size of a pineapple…I'm very glad to have it gone and to be getting back to regular exercise, normal eating, etc.

Breast Cancer (Lobular). Diagnosed two years ago at the age of 41. Resulted in bilateral mastectomy followed by chemo and radiation.

I am a 6 year hodkins survivor, and I agree, lets not do that again!

Breast cancer. Stage 1 in 2006; Stage 4 with mets to liver and lung in Sept 2013. Finished chemo about two months ago, on hormone therapy now. Good times.

I was diagnosed with Stage III invasive lobular breast cancer in 2006. I had chemo, a mastectomy, and radiation, in that order. Two years later I was diagnosed with unrelated Stage I clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Thankfully surgery was all that was necessary for the kidney cancer. I'm extremely grateful to say that I am doing well. I gained a lot of weight during my BC treatment -- about 40 pounds, which apparently is not that uncommon. I've been working with a wonderful cancer nutritionist and a great cancer physical therapist. They each have been helpful with me getting back to a healthy weight and working to regain my stamina. Severe asthma has complicated my recovery and energy level, but I try to keep a positive attitude as much as possible.

Lobular breast cancer, diagnosed April 24. I am having chemo first, then surgery and radiation. I started chemo in May and have been hospitalized 3 times for chemo-related side effects since then. Just before I was diagnosed, I had reached my goal weight, then have lost another 10-15 lbs I didn't really want to lose.

I am determined to keep exercising. I am doing New Rules of Lifting for Women although I am making slow progress (or truthfully, maybe not any progress at all, but have at least hopefully managed to maintain some muscle). I also do the elliptical and yoga.

Best wishes to everyone on here - wish you didn't have to deal with it!

Hodgkin Lymphoma, Stage 2- Finished treatment Jan 31st, of 2014 and I'm in the clear. Counting my lucky stars and doing all I can to stay healthy Best wishes to you all, my fellow warriors.

Colon cancer, just had an anterior resection August 25th, and now about to start chemo for aggressive large b-cell lymphoma. it's daunting.
