Shaving advice, anyone?
I am new to the board and 4 weeks post surgical for bilateral mastectomy. In the last 4 weeks I have not shaved the arm pit on the side they did the lymph node biopsy as I was advised not to use a razor. In a fit of desperation tonight I drug the horse clippers into the house and popped on the surgical blades. My husband…

Side effect Queen

As I said about the side effects I am the Queen. It seems that no matter what they are or how many I get them and not just…

Very heavy hearted to hear of those Pink Sister's we have lost. Saddened to see so many new pink sisters and brothers. I don't what I would have done…

Drove 4 hours to Mayo Clinic today
My son and I drove to Rochester, MN today for my Mayo Clinic Pulmonology appointment to see if there is anything else to do to save my lungs from that agressive form of hypersensitivity pnuemonitis that I have been battling for over a year now. So far we can only slow the progression. My CT scan last month showed more…

thyroid nodules.
We're all watched more carefully since we've had the big C. A cold led to a lung xray which led to more test eventually leading to a lung biopsy. Got through that ok. They also found thyroid nodules that they are watching every 6 months. The last ultrasound showed the nodule was larger and there was another one on the…

prosthesis versus implants
As newly diagnosed and needing a mastectomy, I want to hear from survivors who have prosthesis or implants on the good and bad of each. I don't know which way I want to go, but want to decide before my first surgery so I don't have extra surgeries later on. Thanks in advance for sharing!

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…

I am new to this site. Almost 2 years ago my sister was diagnosed with TN Breast cancer. They did a lumpectomy and we went through 3 rounds of chemo. Had to stop the chemo due to it causing damage to her already weak heart. They told us she was cancer free. Now after about a year she went in for gallbladder surgery as soon…

Woohoo, early stage 1 and not stage 2
I saw my surgeon on Thursday. He said that I am in early stage 1 infiltrating ductal carcinoma, and not stage 2 as I thought. (self diagnosing from the pathology report) I am having a lumpectomy with radiation instead of a mastectomy. The survival rates for the two are identical so I don't feel the need to go radical. I am…
