lump that doesn't show on mammogram
Hi all, I wrote earlier about my lump that didn't show on an ultrasound or a mamm. After all 3 docters said, it was nothing to worry about, but we'll take it out if you want, I had it removed today. I was awake at the time and it was wierd, but painless. He showed it to me and it looked like a glob of yellow fat with some…

my reply to m&m & Northern
I have to agree, the some have gotten off the subject of the M&M's & Northern donations. I didn't mean to offend anyone who doesn't eat sugar. So much food out there has sugar in it that we don't know about, all we know is the candy. All fresh fruits and vegetables have sugar. Do we not eat those? Plus I have even been…

Just to say Hello

It seems so long ago now that I came to this site looking for those like myself, after a long battle with my stage 3 bc and the side…

echocardiography
Today I went for doppler echocardiography, during which 3 electrodes similar to the ones used during EKGs are connected: one to the right arm, one to the chest and one to the left arm. The test does not involve the use of the arms at all. The doctor runs a thing that feels a lot like a roll-on deoderant ball on the chest…

Reoccurence after Herceptin?
With my last infusion of Herceptin (number 52)scheduled for Monday, I can't help but wonder if anyone knows of someone who has had a reoccurence despite such an aggressive protocol? I was diagnosed with StageIII b/c in April 2003 (8 cm and cancer in all 31 nodes). I had a mastectomy of my right breast with chemo prior to…

Survivors with Lump Problems
I am a survivor for 16 years. In the past year I have developed a lump near my surgical area. Had all the testing to find out it is not cancer. It hurts whenever I do too much (which is just about everything, smile), want to know if any other survivors are experiencing problems with these lumps. Someone in Va has a…

Race for the Cure
This year again I have to write how proud I am of the people of Denver. Over 63,000 walked/ran in the Race For The Cure yesterday (this is my 2nd race since being diagnosed almost 2 yrs ago). It's an amazing thing to see all those people, and every one there is supporting someone. I so encourage all of us to do this. You…

About expander surgery
I will be soon going through the surgery to replace the expander with the permanent implant. Can anyone advise how you did with the surgery, and recovery, and how soon you were back to work, etc. Did you feel the new implant is more comfortable?

surgeon
I am trying to find a surgeon that statistically has been successful in not damaging the nerve under the arm while removing a lymph node. I had 23 lymph nodes removed with no damage to my arm but that surgeon has retired.

Scared
Hi, It's been almost a year since I was diagnosed with B/C 11/03. I am almost 6 months out of chemo. I found a lump on the inside of my right foot today and I'm freaking out. Could it be cancer? It feels like bone, it's hard as a rock. I never noticed it before today (who looks at their feet?). I have an appointment next…
