A Happy Sunday Story To Share
Hello everyone, I want to share a happy story with all of you. My white blood count is very low and my onco nurse told me to stay away from crowds, and friends, even family members until it comes back up. This has been very hard not to see my children and grandchildren, especially when the grandchildren ask on the…

She truly understands what it means to be a breast cancer survivor. It's a great reference book for all breast cancer patients, lets them know what is…

after tamoxifen
I've been on tamoxifen for five years now and am interested to hear from those who've taken tam. and what their experience was when they stopped taking it. Did you quit 'cold turkey' or did you quit gradually(by taking one dose per day for a while?) My experience is, this is a very powerful drug and while I didn't really…

Anyone Need a Wig.
I was told to make sure I had a wig before starting chemo, so I went out and got myself a beauty. Hated it. Never wore it once. I felt like a had a dead cat on my head. Just my opinion. I have a great brunette, shoulder length, large cap, permed wig with no bangs, if anyone is interested. It is yours. I feel better wearing…

axillary node dissection
Hi everyone, have had my axillary node dissection and getting ready to start chemo. Has anyone experienced a burning underarm after the lymph node removal? I have a little fluid in the underarm but not too bad. My surgeon drew about 5cc out, a week after the drain tube was removed. My underarm feels like I have a bad…

Recurrence
Hi, I had thought that my breast cancer was over and now after nearly 9 years it's back, with a degree of spread, though not in my bones, and not as bad as I was first told. There was some positive news also about the tumour being very strongly hormone receptive. I have really tried to put my trust in God, but I am 3 days…

Let's chat Thursday night
Hi everyone. It's Jackie. I just got home from chemo #4. So far so good, although I can tell the "wave" is coming. I got a great report from my oncologist, so that makes all the post-chemo misery worthwhile. I just wanted to remind everyone who'll be home tonight to try to join the chat at Oncology.com around 8:00 EST. If…

discussion/chat room
I would like to know how I go about participating in one of your chats. I have never paraticipated before and I would like to know how to do it. I had a lumpectomy and 10 clear lymph nodes removed in Sept. I am now taking tamoxifen, with hot flashes which are much worse than when I went thru menopause.

But, giving a talk to women, being able to answer their questions and maybe making a difference in just one life was a true…

Finially at my 6 month check-up with my oncoligist - he told me what was going on - (MRI test to confirm) Of course the cancer center wants 2 do radiation again - go in twice a day for 2 mild doses - I am trying accupunture - have had…
