The lastest on Dawne
I am confused and very frustrated! Dawne was told she would be in the hospital at least a week. She was told how dangerous this was, and then they send her home today. I really don't get it and don't think Dawne does either. She is giving herself injections in the stomach for at least 3 months with the hope of dissolving…

Bras for post reconstruction on one side only
Need a bra that will support the breast that did not have cancer (also did not have a breast lift) and not hurt the reconstructed side. I look really lopsided without a bra but my bras really are uncomfortable. They are underwire. I tried the "tlc" catalog but they did not have the comfortable bra in my size (32C). They…

Rash
Just curious if any of you have had the following or something similar. I am now five weeks post rads. Yesterday, I noticed some little red bumps in a cluster on my radiated breast near the incision line and close to where the boost was given. They don't itch, just red raised bumps. Then today I noticed that these red…

Ever feel dizzy?
I did this weekend. I thought maybe I got up too fast or something and that is why it happened. So, I am figuring it is nothing. I didn't say anything to my hubby. I just sat back down, so, he didn't notice. It did go away then. I thought I'd see if it's happened to anyone else here. Angie

How Do You Keep Track of Things to Remember to Tell Your Doctor(s)?
Now that I am on the three-month cycle for the oncologist (and am gradually dropping off the other involved doctors), I have decided that I need to make use of those pocket-sized calendars to keep track of when things out of the norm occur so that I can see if it occurs again/how often it occurs. I can also jot down…
