~~~~~ This Is A HA HA! Girl's Night Out ! Did You Laugh? ~~~~~
Girls night out Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something.…

Zen Sarcasm...for the days when Life is a bit much and we need a different perspective~ Enjoy!
/////// ZEN SARCASM 1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone. 2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire. 3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to…

First mammogram tomorrow Update - I aced it!
I don't need the bus because I've got lots of errands to run after, but I'd sure like your collective vibes and prayers at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow PDT. I don't feel nervous about this at all. That may be because I already saw my bloodwork results and all was normal there. Nonetheless, sisters, I'd like you with me. I don't see…

Thankful to find this site, and you all...
Hi, I was diagnosed with IDC in July 2009. I had two lumpectomies in July 2009, chemo in fall 2009, radiation (35 tx) in spring 2010. I wish, wish, wish I had known about this site then. Still, I find a great deal of comfort and a sense of belonging now that I have found this site. I recently had a scare (another lump) and…

Good report but I have a question about oophorectomy
I saw my Onc. yesterday for my 15 month appt. Everything was good, labs and all were great! He talked to me about having an oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) I am on tamoxifen and have been for 10 mos. He said in looking at my individual stats and all he thought it would be to my advantage to have ovaries removed and…

Does hair ever become normal again?
I'm 6 1/2 months post chemo and my hair is white, frizzy and barely 1" in length. I see onc on Thursday and plan on asking about when it's safe to color again but also how long does it have to be.......... The only nice thing is it's easy to take care of but always looks like a bad hair day. I bought shampoo and…

Thanks for the pink bus supporters!
My xray showed nothing out of the ordinary - no sign of any cancer! Yes, now I can breathe a sigh of relief. Thursdays visit with onc should be smooth sailing.... Thanks, Char

After chemo, has ANYONE ever...
After finishing chemo has anyone ever got their period back??? Is the chemo-induced menopause permanent or can it be reversed? Has it been done? Methinks not in this life... Of course, I can see why oncologists would shudder at the very thought as this seems the exact opposite of any oncologists goal. Just trying to gather…

Clinical trials Radiation
Has anyone been in any clinical trials for radiation such as an India regimen of things such as cumin, etc for the skin? I'm starting radiation next week and the nurse asked if I would be interested in being in the research. I told her yes, but I've never been in a clinical trial before. Renee H

Permanent makeup - a vanity issue
I'm going to get permanent eyeliner and maybe eyebrows (since I don't have any). A friend wondered if it was ok and thought maybe I should check with my doctor first. I'm tired of checking with my doctor for every little thing. Besides, some of you are getting nipples tatooed. And Heather, weren't you getting a new tat?…

WBC issue again

I am now 7 months post chemo and otherwise feeling great. 3 months ago it went up to 3.4 and now down to 2.5...Well so much for those oysters I was eating to raise it. Has this happened to any other sisters after chemo was over. I was so dissappointed when I…

I was going to reserve the big pink bus, but
I just held my breath and decided to 'go it alone'. I knew I could ask, but there have been so many whose appts, surgeries were more dire than mine, I just couldn't. Two weeks ago - on Memorial Day - I had some spotting and it scared the daylights out of me. I'm 5 yrs post menopausal and I am 57. Last week I had an…

I had a mastectomy on the right side, chemo, and radiation. I finished everyting in mid-March. I'm now in the "let's wait and…
