What the What?
No wonder we have so much trouble getting onto the site these days with all that spam crap going on. SHAME on anyone who would abuse this site and interfere with someone getting the emotional support they need at such a stressful time in their life!

Port issues
I was just wondering if any one else has this issue... Sometimes my infusion port just hurts. Out of the blue, relative to nothing. Anybody else have that? Other times it is as if I don't even have it. Just a little oddity that I wondered about!

What does it feel like when BC spreads to your bones? I have had a painful spot on my skull for 7 months. Finally got the onc to do a bone scan. That happened today so no results until Monday, going to be a long weekend. I also have some pain in my lower back. I was stage 3 with 12 positive lymph nodes. I think I had a…

Radiation after reconstruction
I would really like to hear about anyone's experience with radiation after reconstruction and chemo. I've been told of very serious side effects that would reqire additional surgeries to correct. The radiologist gives me odds of there being problems in 1 out of three cases;that doesn't sound too good since I seem to get…

Inspiration
Visited with my Onc. today and was telling him about my ice cream making obsession, actually I even brought him a pint of carmalized mango ice cream, then I was showing off my tie dye silk scarf. This all came about because finally I feel like I am starting to recover from the whole 2 year ordeal of sugery, chemo, rads,…

Arimidex question
Hi everyone... It's been awhile since I have been on here. I hate that I forget to pull this site up and look at it more often. Lately have felt the need for support more now that when I was diagnosed last year. At any rate - I started Arimidex in January after having a complete hysterectomy in Dec 2011. I had been on…

Oh goodness.. I feel like everytime I start to get better, something else happens. I finished radiation treatments last week. I had 5 treatments of standard body radiation to my spine and 3 treatments to my hip. I don't know if anyone has ever had rads to the spine, but the immobilizer/torture device was too much for me. I…

Does Any one have Aflac
I have Aflac. I actually have several of their policies. Thank goodness I got the cancer policy, I think.. Does anyone else have it & is it what I think it is? I am so overwhelmed with all the insurance lingo along with the medical lingo that my brain is mush! Just wanting to know if it helped anyone else. Thanks
