May I request the Pink Bus for Monday March 3rd...I am alittle nervous and need some support please.
My oncologist has ordered a Breast MRI for Monday. She ordered this because during the mammogram it was found that my remaining breast is dense. I know that it is just a routine test but I am nervous. I would love to have my Pink Sisters along for the ride. Thanks Hugs Mommaellen

Spot on my nipple
I just got out of the tub and was drying off when I noticed a spot on my nipple. It looks like a small pimple. I tried to pop it but it wouldn't pop. It is a little redder than the rest of my nipple but doesn't bother me or anything. No oozing and I am not breast feeding (I'm 48). It is on the good breast. They took my…

Game - Last word/First word
We haven't played this game in a while. For the 'newbies' who haven't played it before, the object is to put 2 words together that relate to each other BUT the next person to play has to use the previously last word as the new first word. Example : red hot could become hot dog which could become dog tired amd so on. I'll…

SIDE EFFECTS
I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer after a routine self exam. I'd had my routine mammogram in Nov. of 2005 and felt the tiny lump in May of 2006. Unsure of what it was, I had my husband feel it and a couple of my girlfriends. :-) After starting to worry that it didn't feel like one of the fibroids I'd had in my…

Coming from Los Angeles snow looked very pretty, of course I did not have t shovel it. Thank you both Linda and Jean for your commitment, it was fun and hope seeing you again. Hugs

Tamoxifen and ovarian cyst
I was diagnosed as DCIS and had Mastectomy in Sept. last year. I had taken Tamoxifen between Oct. 2013 and January this year. Only about two weeks ago, I stopped Tamoxifen because I found a 7cm ovarian cyst through ultrasound. I did some google-searches and discovered some important recent studies consistently finding that…

GOOD NEWS!
Just got off the phone with my PA's RN with good news. I've been having pain in a new/different area of back. I have arthritis in back and osteoporosis anyway but because it's been more than 3 yrs since my last bone scan, my PA wanted to check to be sure no mets. Yesterday, I had the scan. The wind was horrendous here…

OT - Senior Olympics - Anyone done them?
With watching the Winter Olympics, I was thinking about the Summer Olympics in 2 years and then thought of Senior Olympics. Has anyone ever done them? What sort of events/classes do they have? Thinking it might be fun to try but I'm afraid that the sports I 'do' might not be included. Bicycling and skating might be but I…

A little 'funny' for your day .,,,
This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things. He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is…

Tumor Markers negative
Had my "full monty" today (perjeta, herrceptin and taxol). Saw my onco and she says tumor markers are negative and the clinical exam was negative. Soo, she says the 7th I go for PET SCAN and - and only IF- it is as she thinks it is, I will finish this cycle and won't have to do the chemo anymore (at least for a while if…

Tomaxafen and Uterine Lining Thickness
I have been on tomaxafen for 2 1/2 years and found out yesterday I will be needing my third D&C since I started taking this drug. My lining is currently 5 x the size it should be and my last D&C was 14 months ago. Thought about a hysterectomy but not sure if I am comfortable with all the changes that might cause. Is there…

Yay, NED!!
Two weeks ago was my four-year mark, and this morning was the annual mammogram. Hmm. I should always go on a holiday -- today I got the email back in a couple of hours instead of a couple of days. All clear. Whew. I do get very nervous about the mammogram and rather unfit to live with (just ask my husband) until the…
