Oh no, I have a cold ~ update!!
I'm so upset! I have a cold, and it's given me a slight fever. I've been watching my temp yesterday and today. When I woke up it was 98.5, I was sooo happy.

Guess I wanted to give some encouragement
hopefully! Wanted to let the newbies and those of you who are not so new know that there is life after cancer! Maybe not the same as before...mind you,but there is life! 2 years ago I never thought that I would be able to move on-thought that there would always be that dark cancer cloud over my head that I was never going…

Herceptin movie
Others may already know this but, I just found out this week about a movie called "Living Proof" staring Harry Connick Jr. It is about Dr. Slamon that discovered/invented herceptin. It is a good movie about what he went thru to develop the drug and make it available for women that are her 2 positive. It also explains how…

Arimidex Clodronate Disodium and nausea
I have been taking these two medications for the past two months following chemotherapy. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing some mild daily nausea on these medications and if so have you found anything that has helped relieve it.
