Rhyming game
OK - Here's the idea. - If I starting it with 'Batter' The next person gives a word that rhymes it like 'flatter'. Then gives a new non-rhyming word to be rhymed with 'stick' or whatever. I'm starting with - 'Pond' Susan Added - remember that different accents can make different words sound different.

OT: Yeah, I Did It! I Ran a 5K!
This is off the topic but I wanted to share my good news with you. I ran the 5K Run for Education this morning with my husband and daughter. My daughter ran with a friend and Mark and I ran together. I came in at 34 minutes! June 2009 marks my 3rd annual Survivorship Anniversary. I am not a runner, but am proud of myself…

I want to share this with you
I was given a coin by one of my radiation technicians when I was feeling fearful. I cannot tell you how much this small token means to me NOW. CANCER CANNOT . defeat the soul . shatter hope . depress faith . destroy homes . limit humanity . kill friendships . silence courage . ruin the soul . reduce the spirit CANCER CAN…

ARIMIDEX
So I haven't posted in a while. For me, having finished with radiation treatments (march 1st TYVM) means never looking back. I don't think about cancer. It's over. At least, that's what I want to think. Started the Arimidex poison and I am just so sick. It's only been 3 weeks and I want to stop taking this stuff. I get…

Two weeks post-op today!
New here, so a bit of background. I am 54 and on February 14th went in for my annual mammogram. (Great way to "love myself", right?) On the 15th I got the callback. I've had those several times for this and that, so really was not terribly concerned, but when I went in the radiologist showed me the pictures -…

Follow up
I'm confused. Yesterday I saw a NP because my onc was out of town. This was the first time I'd seen him so we went over a lot and it was a good visit. My follow-up to date has been visits every 4 months with oncologist with bloodwork and chat, exams every 6 months by surgeon, and mammogram yearly. I saw the rad onc twice…

Good Appt yesterday
Yesterday I saw. Dr T. (Chemo Dr) for 6 mth check up (well actually 2 1/2 yrs since DX). Doing good! (I already knew it but he said so too). Still wants to see me every 6 mths as he said, "You're high risk so I'm going to keep see you every 6 months." He hadn't even orderd any blood work but then my PA sends copies of all…

Back to chemo
I saw my onc yesterday. We will do taxoll every Friday for 6 months. Then we will do a different chemo. He said it doesn't look good but he has lots of hope and is ready to fight as long as I'm willing. Of course I'm willing. He said what I've known since my original diagnosis with inflammatory breast cancer but didn't…

Resourses
Hi, I'm pretty new to this site (and cancer) and I was wondering if anyone knew of any oganizations that help out people financially who are dealing with cancer. I found out in December that I had breast cancer and slowly but surely what little savings we had is being drained with all the co-pays, meds, Dr appts, etc. I'm…

cancer free question
I am just curious on what date do you consider from year to year on being cancer free. Do you count it from the time you had surgery or finished treatments or when you went for your first follow up and they said no evidence of disease?

Been A Long Time
I too don't come as much as I once did I guess because I am not so entrenched in it and had to let it go and not let it define me in anyway. Doesn't mean I don't and won't have problems but I am glad that cancer has gotten further away and not always at the front of my brain. It has been 15 years now since my diagnosis and…
