Has anyone heard of this Dr. Renee Wellhouse, ND, PhD. Her Wellhouse Center is located in Windsor, Wisconsin.

biopsy complete
HI. I had my excisional biopsy last Thursday. The surgeon reported that nothing popped out at them during the surgery, and now have to wait until Wednesday to meet with him again. I feel good, and the biopsy was easier than I expected. I felt you all there with me after I woke up and hope I can be there for all of you in…
Expansion Pain

I am not finished with the expansion of my breast, Dr says I am going a little slower than most but that it is ok.

Breast Cancer in Jan. Lung cancer in April and now what else?
I can't believe this is happening again. I thought I was doing great after my lumpectomy in Jan 02 and then the removal of the left upper lobe of my lungs in April 02. The lung cancer was discovered through a routine xray for my breast cancer. I just got the results from the CAT scan I had last week to check the other…

new chemotherapy drug
I just found out that my cancer is back and in full force. I have heard about a clinical trial for a new chemotherapy that attacks only the cancer and not you good cells. Has anyone heard of this or can anyone give me the name of the study or drug? It took two years for me to get back to normal (whatever that is) after my…
DCIS Newly Diagnosed
I am newly diagnosed with DCIS. The treatment (mastectomy, breast reconstruction, etc.) is so drastic for something that I'm told is pre-cancerous and good since it was caught so early. I had 5 cancerous of 6 biopsy sites (2 masses and 4 cluster microcalcifications). Both breast are affected. Can anyone identify with me…

PRAYERS
As you can all tell, I don't talk much, but I read all the posts. Sometimes I have to go back a page or two, and I pray for all of you. I was asked if I felt the prayers from all of you and the ones that pray, yes I do, and thank you all!!! My hubby is improving--very good news for me. his PSA has come down from 20.5 to…
Flying during chemo
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has flown during treatment. I would like to fly between the 3rd and 4th AC. I only have 4. I am not going to fly on my low count days. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced weird side effects up there that we aren't experiencing down here. I have 2 good weeks during treatment…

Surgery .... gross-o-rama!!! lol
Hi sisters! So, I went to the chest surgeon yesterday ... I will be having that dreaded bone resection on July 10. He gave me some insight into the procedure ... 5-6 inch incision, remove a 4-5 inch piece of the bone, sew me up. They don't replace the removed portion with anything ... seems odd to me but he's the doc ...…
fatigue after chemo and rad
i still have not been able to pull an 8 hour day at home, let alone go back to work full time! has anyone else been off this long 5 months after chemo and three and half after radiation?
why is the chat room always empty?
thanks all
thank you all for the notes I do feel better today. We are having my daughters party Sat. so maybe I will feel better. By the way this was her idea. I guess she understands more than I do. What a kid. Judy

Thank you
Today is the first time I saw this site and I wrote this a.m. about being scared after six months. I received many wonderful responses that have helped me already. Thank you and will continue to use this site for support and maybe (I hope) to help others.
thank you
Hi. Thanks to Angie, Shirlann, and Emmi for your responses. I never thought of it as a good thing, I guess, but when you said it may be too small and they are worried they won't get enough, it clicked with somehting the surgeon said too. He did not feel a biopsy was necessary at all and does not consider what he feels as a…
Radiation Side Effects?
I had a lumpectomy 3-26 (no surgery for lumph nodes)and followed by six weeks of radiation. I did burn during the radiation but that is now healed. Radiation completed about a week ago and now I am pretty sore under my arm - like someone punched me in the ribs. I cannot sleep on my left side at all. The incision was on the…
