Partial permanent hair loss??
I went through aggressive chemo and radiation 11 yrs. ago and lost every bit of hair on my body. Eventually the hair on my head grew back and was very curly and thick...which I loved, having fine straight hair all of my life. But over time, it was back to fine...and one side of my head is now wavy and unruly and the side…

Relaxing peaceful music from two ancient tradtions of Harp
Just to add a little distraction, I wanted to share a very beautiful piece of music by the 'Queen of Harp' Catrin Finch (Wales) and a world reknowned Kora (African harp/lute) player Seickou Keita (Senegal/Gambia). The collaboration is just stunning, beautiful, peaceful and delightful as the two play as one. I just can't…

My oncologist called last night and now I am a little freaked out. . . . Tamoxifen could be the prob
Yesterday I posted about my eventful weekend that landed me in the ER on Saturday. Went in with wildly racing heart and high blood pressure, head throbbing, feeling light headed and in general just feeling plain lousy. I had informed my oncologist's office yesterday morning of the events so that she would be aware. Last…

His appriach is different. First off, I am not a candidate for trials. 1. There are so few adv cancer bc trials that I even fit into, none…

Recovering from "ammonia"
Over Thanksgiving, I overdid, was very lax about hugging and holding hands, and am paying for it now. Developed a little virus: mild sore throat and runny nose. After a week, I began coughing and wanting to sleep all of the time and headed to my PCP. He did an xray and came back shaking his head. He said he thought some of…

going on vacation
Some of you may remember that I had a thoractomy and that plum size mass removed from my lung past summer. I am still having pain problems from it. The surgeon says that the rib they cut and moving the cartilage, etc, is causing the rib to move around and poke me. He said it would be 6 months to a year before I am healed,…
