Took me 2 years to stop worrying practically…

Home :-)
My wbc jumped from 0.8 yesterday to 2.9 today! My 48 hr cultures are negative so far. Feeling a little stronger and finally beginning to move, but very weak. My mouth is a crying shame : terrible thrush and too many mouth ulcers to count. Oncologist said I really need to work on it. I am doing the baking soda /salt rinses…

Sad news from my son.
Both of my sons are Type 1 diabetics. Some of you may remember that my firstborn needed a kidney which I was approved to donate 4 years after my stage 1 diagnosis. Everything went great and I have been happy for the first time in years. My younger son who is also diabetic but has no complications yet was married last Oct.…

Bone scan report I'm worried
Nonspecific increased activity is seen in the right aspect of the manubrium near the sternoclavicular joint. Whether degenerative or neoplastic is uncertain.

Hi Ladies! I just finished my 4th and LAST round of T/C chemo 2 weeks ago. I have gotten over all side effects but one - fatigue.

OT - What is your most memorable Mother's Day?
For me, it was 1991! Hubby was deployed to Desert Storm and the Boys and I went back to my hometown. While there, the Boys got involved with BMX racing. On Mother's Day, they had a Mom's Race. You were supposed to ride your child's bike - don't remember how Sons decided which of their bikes I'd ride. Well, I was the only…

Clinical Trials
I was told by a Breast Cancer Nurse Advocate that I may be illegible for a clinical trial where I would not receive Chemo and they would monitor me closely for ten yrs. That would mean I would only take the Anti-Hormone Therapy that I would have done before finding two cancerous Sentinel Nodes. I love the Idea but scared…

I was doing some research on EPO for someone. I came across a Livestrong article that indicates EPO MIGHT increase estrogen but it states "Although the role of evening primrose oil in treating hormone-related disorders suggests it might alter the levels of estrogen in your body, as of October 2011 no study or clinical…

For 2 months now I have been on CBD therapy, Accolate, and supplements and have found my implants softer, the mass rapidly decreasing and not listening to my conventional Dr. I am curious as to why Dr.s are not using CBD and other less corrisive system options to eliminate mass. I will not need surgery after all. I have…
