Breast calcification
I just had a follow-up mammogram (diagnostic) to better determine my few spots of calcification. I was told that the test would take about 1hour and 1/2. However, after only 2 photos and only about 30 minutes, a doctor came back to talk to me about my results as he sees it. I was told that most are benign but the only way…

Cantron
Hi all -- BC survivor of 2 years. I've just started Arimidex. My massage therapist told me about Cantron. Has anyone heard of this? Anybody using it? It's supposed to be some all natural anti-cancer, boost your immune system drug. Hope everyone is doing well. I don't post often, but I read all the time. :)
Inspirational saying.....
Found this today on one of my sites.... When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things will happen: there will be something solid for you to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly. Patrick Overton I would only add,…

A better day for Mother's Day
Let me start with the good news. Last week's MRI showed improvement in Bill's brain tumors over the original one. Our oncologist will now take everything to the Gamma Knife team and they'll decide if they want to wait another 6 weeks to see if there is additional improvement or forge ahead now. To be honest we were both…

Breast Mets

My doctor has said I've received the best treatments available and shouldn't worry about a reoccurance. There have been changes to my remaining breast, though. There is not a new mass or tumor, but…
What does this mean?
My mom was just told that her cancer is back and that it is incurable. She is only 57, and I just can't accept the fact that she has no hope for a cure. The doctor told her that she could do hormone therapy, but wants to do a lung biopsy first to see if her hormone receptors are positive. Her receptors were initially…
Question about Arimidex alternatives
I know there's been some discussion lately about adverse side-effects of Arimidex. I've been on it for a few months and stopped it about 10 days ago due to bone and joint pain.
