Thank you so much for responding.  It is really scary when doctors know one thing and not the other.  I was so worried about chemo and my little stomach. I go to have a lumpectomy this Thurs and then have to wait 2 wks. for the results to see if its gone in lump nods.  You didn;t have radiation? I thought everyone does with breast cancer.
So happy to hear you are doing so well two yrs. out.
What a journey you have been on and so nice to speak to someone who has gone through it.
I am 3X negative, only 20% of women get this type of cancer, more aggressive as I read but I am stage 1, small so hopefully hasn;t gone anywhere else. I have always heard that Mayo is the best.
I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.

 I would pose that question to your kidney doctor- not just your bariatric surgeon.   

yep

I just wanted to let you know that my heart goes out to you. You are going through a very hard time and it's easy to let those comfort foods slip back in.
I would suggest making yourself a protein shake a couple times per day to thwart off any bad choices. I know when I do this it really helps.
Also, I would turn to your American Cancer Society. They have a wealth of information and help. This is why I relay so please go see them. They also helped me out tremendously while I was undergoing chemo for breast cancer a little less than 2 years ago.

 I just wanted to wish you well.  I know another woman who had colon cancer & is in remission now (& doing very well!), but she did not have a WLS.

You probably have a lot more answers now, but my general advice as a cancer survivor & WLS person (I worried about my own effects of malabsorption on adequate nutrition & nausea), just take one day at a time b/c otherwise you will drive yourself crazy.

If you havn't heard of it, Gilda's Club is a national organization that I found very helpful - doesn't matter what type of cancer you have.  They have support groups, activities, & workshops.  

In addition, there's a program called, "Look Good, Feel Better" that your hospital's social worker has likely told you about, but do look into it if you haven't.  It's a great class with lots of free make up!!  Made me feel good :)

Best of luck,
Lisa
