◙** What Is Everyone Doing For Thanksgiving? **◙
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? And, what do you do on the day? Eat, take a nap, watch football, Christmas shop, put up your Christmas tree? What? Happy Thanksgiving

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…

Genetic testing
I was DXed with DCIS in July 2009. Lumpectomy and brachytherapy went well. All subsequent semiannual mammograms have been A-OK. Now a new gynecologist is insisting that I get genetic testing. As with so many of us, I had no family history of breast cancer. I feel she is pushing this as part of some agenda she has, not for…

Got through it--OT
The colonoscopy that is. You ladies were right. The prep is the worst! That first glass had me gagging right from the get go. I used a straw too! It was a long hour and a half getting that stuff down my throat. But immediately after that last sip, BINGO! The earth stood still, the angels were singing, the planets aligned…

Hi, new here. Just had bilateral mastectomy and want to know about swelling?
I found out in 1999 that I had LCIS from a stereotactic biopsy. In 2000, I had a lumpectomy to remove calcifications which were DCIS. At that time I had a partial mastectomy to get a clear margin. I had a lumpectomy in 2008 to remove calcifications which were benign. In October 2012 I had another lumpectomy which showed…

Ovary problem now...
So I had my first pelvic ultrasound to see how the Tamoxifen is treating my uterus after 5 months on the medication. They found that I have a 6 cm growth on my left ovary, probably a dermoid, and now I have to have to have my left ovary and tube removed. I also will need a D&C. If they find any cancer during the surgery…
