port has flipped, on avastin, what to do?
So my port has flipped over. I have 2 doctors, an oncologist and gyn-onc. One says I can have it surgically flipped back and possibly it needs to be reattached, no problem while on Avastin treatment. The other says, "no" you will have to wait for 28 days after your treatment with Avastin is done. Hummm................ And…

About a month ago (just little longer) started feeling very sick and messaged me to inform me that he has cancer and said he would understand if I no longer was interested. Knowing this was not going to be an easy road and things were going to…
Feeling So Alone

I am a survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma, diagnosed in May of 2000 and cancer free since October of 2000. In January 2011, my boyfriend, whom I've been dating for three years, was diagnosed with Desmoplastic small round tumors.…
Really struggling emotionally
Hi, I'm a new member here so I guess I'll start with an introduction. My name is Laura. I'm 45 years old and have been living with Stage 3A breast cancer since July 2008. Prior to surgery, my team of doctors all told me how lucky I was to have caught it so early. Early you ask, at stage 3A? Until they got in there they…

Don't know what to do...
Wow, I really don't even know how to start this, so I guess I'll just jump in and try. I am 20-years-old, and I have Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I am having a stem cell transplant, and I am so very scared. There are so many things that can go wrong, and I just don't like living in the world of "what if?". My biggest problem right…
