Osteoporosis after Chemo
I am sure we have talked about this before, but I cannot find the thread. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine and osteopenia in the hips and neck, right after I finished chemo. I told my doctor to give me some time to recover, so I did not have to take any prescription medication. I am now having back and chest…

Anyone have atypical pap results after being NED for awhile?
I had my six month appointment with my doctor on May 31st. Since I had not had a scan for a couple of years, he ordered chest x-ray and Ct of abdomin and pelvis. Got those results last week. All results were unremarkable. My doctor did a PAP on the 31st. Yesterday, June 20th, I get a call from the office with regard to my…

Anything positive come from your cancer (other than the pathology report, haha)?
I consider myself a cynic at heart, and tend to see the poop that's fertilizing the rose garden rather than the blooms. But one thing that surprised me is how much good came out of my diagnosis/treatment. I don't want to appear flip, or to be insensitive to those having a rough go of things, but I wonder if it will help if…

Mary Ann's goodbye
Mary Ann wrote much of he own eulogy. Here is what she had to say about this group: "Having cancer is dreadful, but I sure can say I’ve met the very best people through Chester (that's what I called my cancer).

My daughter, 21 yrs, is at college working on her business degree, emphasis in marketing. Been working this summer at a financial corp as an intern, but wondering if this is…
New Doc - CT Scan - Symptoms?? Menopause? - Just ranting here
Well after finding a really great doctor and a doctor who did my recurrence surgery in 2010, I am once again faced with finding a new doctor since this doctor has moved to Texas. I met with the new doctor at the end of May. As first meetings go, it went ok. He did a PAP and ordered a CT Scan and chest X-ray. This was the…
CANCER CURE::::PLZ READ
i'VE BEEN RESEARCHING LAETRILE ALSO CALLED B17. I'M USUALLY PRETTY SCEPTICAL ABOUT ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS BUT THIS SOUNDS LEGIT. THIS STUFF IS KNOWN TO ACTUALLY ATTACK AND KILL CANCER CELLS AT ANY STAGE. IT HAS BEEN MADE ILLEGAL TO SELL IN THE US BY THE FDA WHO CLAIMS IT IS TOXIC. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.…

CA 125continues to rise
In the last 10 weeks my CA 125 went from 554 to 672. I was going to be happy if it was less than 700, so I was very happy. As before I have no symtoms and feel good. I have joint pains from the Aromasin, but I can deal with that. i also continue my daily blood thinner shots. My onocologist in Florida said he would not do a…
