I really thought I would never have to shave my underarm again,
It's just over a year and now there is a little fuzz. Rats! It was a direct hit of radiation, still a little 'tan'. I was so bummed since I was told not to shave and now I have to. No lymphedema and I don't want to encourage any. Did you have regrowth after rads? Sue

East coast storm
It's a big one and nasty, too! Be careful, my sisters, stay indoors if you can. Snuggle up with a pet, a good book & a cup of tea. I'm on the fringe - only 4" to 8" predicted with wind gusts. Hopefully, those of you travelling won't be affected. Sue

Late/lingering chemo side effects?
My last chemo was September 23. About the end of November, I developed: Fingernail peeling. I have horizontal ridges in my nails that I think happened sometime during chemo. As they're growing out, my nails want to peel (like an onion) and if they catch on anything the top layers will bend at one of the ridges and break…

Bra
I bought my first Bra since my mastectomy (ins. pd.). Wow, this thing is heavy! She said to remove the inserts every night and put them back into the forms to keep their shape nicely. Taking them out of the bra pockets every night is a real pain. Can't i just lay the bra down? What do all of you ladies do? I don't want to…

Advair & Albuterol, Nexium & one Baby aspirin and a preNatal vitamin
