Anyone have TAC all at once?
So far I hear many have had TAC but did the AC and then the T. I had all three at once every three weeks for a total of 6 treatments. I am just curious if anyone else had all three infused at the same time.

Still feeling violated
I find that I am still having a negative reaction to what was posted by "Cancuncutie" and her "sister". I was just getting ready to start rads (until my tumor markers came back higher than expected so I now need to wait for the results from a PET & bone scan) and I know that many of her posts scared me about what the whole…

I have my nipple flap surgery on Friday. I know it is only under local anestetic and so isn't a big deal at all, but I was wondering if anyone could just let me know what to expect.

MamaG I've been off the boards
I've been off the boards for quite awhile and was saddened to read about MamaG. She, along with so many others welcomed me, answered questions and was such a gift to us all with her sprit. But her spirt will live on in all of us. I've been off the boards not because I am doing well but because I have been overwhelmed with…
