brain mets.
two weeks ago, my mom was diagnosed with 2 brain mets that metastasized from her BC. One was located right on her brain stem. The neurosurgeon came in and told us that if we didn't do surgery, we would lose my mom, but that surgery was still risky. It could drastically impair her quality of life, speech, mobility, you name…

Good News!
Today's visit with the oncologist brought such good news. After a thorough checkout, low tumor markers, and a long discussion, she told me I look better than she has seen me yet. I finally did the exhale that I have been holding in for three and a half years. Just a bone density scan, and then we are through. Just wanted…

support groups for children/girls whose mother's have/had BC or passed away
I was wondering does anyone know of any support groups for children whose mother's have or had BC or passed away from breast cancer, especially for girls. I know this is difficult for boys however for girls they also face the threat of possibly having BC in their lives as well. My 12 year daughter doesn't take much to me…

Did something different yesterday - Susan G Komen 5k walk in SF
My dear daughter whom I mostly want to strangle and kiss at the same time, came home begging to do the Susan G Komen breast cancer run/walk in San Francisco. A friend from school was doing it and she really wanted to walk to support the cure for breast cancer. It was very thoughtful of her and I wanted to support her,…

Am I crazy?
Hi! I have a very strange question... Have any of you had a real revulsion to meat since cancer treatment? I always thought I leaned more on the carnivore edge of the spectrum instead of the herbivore, but, since my chemo last year (my active treatment ended in January), I am truly nauseated by anything but really…

Rest In Peace
I just read on Libby's facebook page that she passed this morning. I am so sad and it is hard to write this now. I have all of Libby's family's contact information and will give them sometime before I try to contact them to get the arrangements. I am heartbroken, especially for her 10 year old daughter, Carlie. xoxo, Jean

OT - funny
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: 'Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.'…

Earlier today she wrote about being so upset that there was a lunch meeting with some who work where she does and she wasn't included. The 'meeting' was apparently about…
