I'd like to introduce myself.....
Hi everyone! I thought I would post a little bit about myself as I just joined this group. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in December of 2011. The lump was attached to the wall of my chest and also to the skin, so I had to go through all the chemo in order to shrink it before any surgery was done. I have since…

CT Scan soon
In March, when I had scans done in anticipation of chemo and then radiation thereapy, the CT scan showed two or three tiny spots in the thoracic region (lymph nodes), but not in any organs. The spots were too small for a PET scan to give any more information about them. Both the oncologist and the radiologist decided to go…

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and, I was wondering what my pink sisters are doing for the holiday. Are you hosting the dinner at your home, or, going somewhere?

I look like I have Chicken Pox, no more chemo, doctor made the decision....
I don't have to make the decision, the doctor stopped the chemo. I went to the pharmacy and the Pharmacist looked at the rash on my face and neck, told him it was everywhere, what should I buy? He made me call my doctor, said it was an allergic reaction to the chemo. The doctor told me to stop the chemo, take Benedryl for…

A note from a VERY 'old-timer'....still alive and kickin' and NED!
8 years ago today, I was undergoing tests, scopes, etc for rectal bleeding and severe low back pain. Sadly, the day after Thanksgiving that year 2004, I heard those 3 life-changing words for the first time "You have cancer". And then, to my amazement, my very self controlled GI gal hugged me with tears in her eyes…

"Look Good - Feel Better"
Once again I haven't seen anything recently about the "Look Good - Feel Better" classes and we have a lot of 'Newbies' so thought I'd bring it up again. "Look Good - Feel Better" is through the ACS and local Cancer Centers - it is for women AND men. You will be taught about so much as to how to 'look good' and thus 'feel…

newbie, in limbo re deciding treatment for DCIS found after breast reduction
I've come to this forum a bit backwards. Had a breast reduction in late summer (pre-op mammo showed nothing) and at my 2 week follow up with the plastic surgeon, he almost casually mentioned while he was removing stitches that the preliminary pathology report had shown some "breast disease in situ" in right breast. said i…
