stage 4 and disability
Has anyone applied for ssdi? How long did it take to get it? I've applied for it about a month ago and just waiting. I know it can take months. Being out of work is not good. So much more to worry about. There's no way I could possibly work now, I can't even drive. I feel like I'm in a constant hangover, mornings are bad…

Zometa
I feel crazy, every time I get Zometa I get a sore throat and an earache. I dont know if this is a coincidence or a side effect. At first I thought it was the zometa, then I thought this is lasting so long it must be a virus. I seem to remember this happening last time I got it. lasted a week, today one week later I feel…

Anyone used/using anti-depressant, Lexapro?
I had a 4-month follow-up with my med. onc. today. Things are okay, although my WBC is low at 3.4. She continues to watch it, but doesn't seem too concerned. I had been on Zoloft since diagnosis (early 2010) but had been weened off last month--my call. I told her what had happened to my friend passing away last week and…

Flooding in the Northeast -how are you?
I'm located near 3 rivers the Unadilla, Chenango, and the Susquehanna. All bridges are closed and it looks like they might be for a few days. We are safe here on our hill, but so many areas nearby have been inundated by Irene and now Lee. A few towns no longer exist. All roads closed, state of emergency. So - roll call!…

Been on Tomaxafin for 6 weeks
I've read all the side affects, etc. I'm having some of the usual ones as leg cramping and hot flashes. My question is ...... I'm soon to be 51 years old and was perimenopausal but still getting the deed every month. I have now skipped my first period which is 10 days late. Not complaining but for the past two weeks or so…

Radiation burns
I have had 33 radiation treatments so far. Was going to get my last 6 booster treatments when the skin under my arm started peeling off. The rad oncologist halted treatments for a week so I can heal up before the last 6. Has anybody else burned badly from radiation treatments? I am very fair skinned and I was told that is…

♥ FOOTBALL ♥
The first game of the football season is tomorrow night! Green Bay and New Orleans! I actually like both teams, so, I am still undecided as to whom I want to win. I'll probably pick whichever team my hubby doesn't, so, I just might win a little money. lol So, who do you want to win this week? The Saints or the Packers?…

New Season - New Plan
Hi Everybody, After a ten-day nightmare with my lungs, I asked for an appointment with my oncologist. I asked him some questions about the drugs I've been taking, told him what I had read about cytoxan and Nulasta, and let him know how badly my breathing has been. He listened to my lungs, and decided that I needed a break…

Very Worried
I saw the other pain dr. today. He told me we can not go on giving me nerve block shots in the neck much longer. My other doctor who is on vacation didn't mention that. I, however, did realize I can not keep getting such large shots in the same spot in the neck forever. I was not prepared to be without them soon. I see him…

The Squeaky Wheel
I think I called everyone on my contact list except the social worker. I think that I have driven them all to drink ;-). My mantra was push back, push back.... But here is the great news...they are going to do all scans on Friday and I will be home Monday. My case should be presented next Thursday and I will keep you all…

Has anyone else have to stop taking Arimedex?
I went to the Dr today, Told her about all my side effects I've been having from the Arimedex with my feet mostly. So she changed the Rx from Arimidex to Femara. I am hoping some of these side effects will disappear. Has any one changed from Arimidex to Femara. Have side effects? Did they improve? Some times the pain is so…

Mammograms - please spread the word
I have been hearing from patients that doctors are discouraging getting mammos before 50 and every year. Most people will put off a mammo for any excuse. Personally, I was diagnosed at 47 just a month after my little sister's doctor told her she doesn't need a mammo every year just because our older sister was diagnosed at…

I know my body best
this is what I decided after a crueling weekend of decision making. Tamoxifen has not been kind to me but after 2 weeks of not being able to properly breathe and yet another ER visit, I decided I am taking myself off this medication. I am back to my very strict regime of daily juicing, walks, yoga and very good nutrition.…

Pomp and circumstance.
Well today was my last chemo treatment and tommorrow will be my last Neulasta shot. Yippee!!! I also had the great pleasure of having my final treatment on my grandson's birthday. I think that this is a sort of sign that I am going to have a good many more birthdays. The nurse and I hummed the graduation song Pomp and…

joke might be older but worth the chuckle anyway
A burglar broke into a home. He heard a scratchy voice say, "Jesus is watching you." Thinking it was just his imagination, he continued his search. Again, "Jesus is watching you." He turned around & saw a parrot in a cage. He asked the parrot if he was the one talking. The parrot said, "Yes." He asked the parrot his name…

large hard lump over night on side of right breast and painful from first day -anyone have this?
I love the idea of getting help... but honestly there is so much info on here.. I might die of natural causes trying to find what I am looking for? Is there any way to drill down to find someone with similar symptoms -- that really showed up over night. I am not super tired.. maybe a little spacy but that is because I…

There is so much information on the web and so much is useless-Ductal breast cancer
first, I am not a fan of the web. I think it is over run with so much information and so little information containd in the body of the information. Let's face it.. if you do a search for "looking to buy a new right ring finger"... Target and Amazon just happens to have a few on sale -- at a great price! It is all so…

Surgery Tomorrow...
Wire-guided lumpectomy, outpatient. Don't know when I'll return to cyberspace afterwards. Have completely lost track of the Pink Bus - it, unfortunately, seems to always be on the road making several stops each day. Truly wish it wasn't so in demand (deep sigh). Wish the darned thing could stay in the garage for at least a…
