OT - Prairie fire - enforced evacuation.
We're fine - only grass burned. We were on an enforced evacuation this afternoon for a prairie fire for a while but it's contained now. Called Hubby to get home in case and got dogs out (and papers) and sat to wait in case I had to run. Neighbor (who likes to freak out over nothing) gave me her 6 ferrets to 'watch' - they…

OT - Recipe for 'Dilly Bread'?
Does anyone have the recipe for 'Dilly Bread' that was on a yeast package years ago? (Or a similar version?) It's getting colder now and Hubby told me he wanted Cream of Leek soup on Sunday (no prob - it's easy) BUT he also wants some Dilly Bread too. It's been years since I made Dilly and I can't find the recipe for it in…

Brava Machine, fat grafting reconstruction update.....
Hi all, I got the Brava machine on Friday and am on my third time of wearing it. I wore it during the day once and at night once. During the day is going to work out best for me because the suction broke on the seal last night and I didn't even hear the alarm. So I didn't get a full night of suction last night. That's 10…

Ct SCans
I have recently been through the ringer with infections, appendectomies etc.. as most of you know. My question is the CT scans I have been having.. if there were tumor growth in other areas of my abdomen, uterus etc.. would they show up on those CT scans? I am kind of ignorant to that sort of thing. Just curious since I…

Aromasin and Arimidex ???
Hi It's been awhile since I've been here on the boards - I was wondering if any of you have been switched from Arimidex to Aromasin. Any side effects? What's the benefit? I have oestoarthritis so taking Arimidex was not fun - seemed to make the arthritis feel worse. I talked to my Dr about it and I had a bone scan done to…

OT - Princess and Frog
I ran across this gem and thought to share it: The real story of the frog and the princess. Once upon a time, a beautiful, independent, self assured princess happened upon a frog in a pond. The frog said to the princess, "I was once a happy prince until an evil witch put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn…

Low-dose aspirin -- anyone else's oncologist recommend it?
I had my regular 3-month checkup with my oncologist last week, and everything looks good (yay!). He brought up some recent research on patients taking low-dose/baby (81 mg.) aspirin for cardiac issues, which found that it also seemed to reduce their risk for breast and colon cancers. He feels the research is strong enough…

Fatigue and dizzy
I am 9 months out of chemo, finished Dec. 1, 2011. All of a sudden I have become very fatigued and dizzy, it is to the point that all I want to do is cry because I feel so bad. I am going to see my PA tomorrow, see if we can get some answers. Wondering if it could be anemia

Starting 12 weeks of Taxol tomorrow...getting nervous!
Hi, ladies, Well my 3 week break has come to an end! I got a lot of rest, went on vacation, enjoyed time with the kids, and all of the symptoms from the A/C have subsided! As much as I know what to expect with the Taxol, I am still very nervous. It is almost like starting chemo for the first time all over again. Thank…

A different kind of good news
Hopeful news, anyway. It's now been 2 years since I completed chemo and still my hair still doesn't cover my head. It still looks just like the photo on my Expressions page 1 year ago. I've been to the dermatologist, had all kinds of tests done, and nothing. Bottom line, I had hair 2 1/2 years ago and now I don't have…
