DO NOT OPEN anything from ~lsqxx00~
It's spam! Coach online advertisement. If we don't open this crap, then IT will have to STOP IT'S careless spamming because we aren't giving IT a chance to continue. By NOT clicking on this REPLY to our discussion topic, the spammer will get bored and go away. That's how it usually works. HUGS Mary

OT - Crazy Horse Volksmarch
Will get to do the Crazy Horse Volksmarch tomorrow. It is at the Crazy Horse Memorial (Custer, SD). It's 10K and starts in the parking lot and you hike up to the arm of the carving and back down. The going up is a bit of a 'hike' as it has quite a rise and is through the 'woods' but the hike back is really just a 'walk in…

I've been on chemo since Aug 2011, my doc wants me to take a chemo break and I'm pretty scared by that idea...now you're all caught up. So what I didn't talk about in my last post...there is a teeny…

I'm rectal cancer but visiting Breast with a question bc I've been having pain
Doctor says that breast pain is not cancer. Of course a doctor left my polyps in my body 10 years ago and now I have cancer so I don't really "trust" doctors anymore. I went for a mammogram at 37. I am now 42, still having the pain in the exact two spots whenever pressed. The pain is not in the actual breast but in the…

I guess I can commit a crime
My sons school requires all parent volunteers to be fingerprinted. Today I went to get fingerprinted and the tech could not get my prints. It seems that I no longer have fingerprints, I guess there is nothing that can be measured on digital read. I was fingerprinted years ago, before my battle with the beast, for my…

Severe Pain/ Burning/ Intching with Taxol
I am about to go crazy. I am on Dense dose chemo. I endured terrible side effects with four rounds of AC, but nothing prepared me for my first dose of Taxol. Dr. said it would be sooooo much easier.

My first time missing my treatment :-(
I was so ill with that intestinal bacterial infection that I was told to postpone my hormone therapy and bisphosphonate injections for two weeks. I can't tell you how anxious that made me! Finally, I had all 3 injections this afternoon. I am sitting here with a very sore butt, but very happy to be back in the saddle again…

Will be having a wire localized left partial mastectomy with possible mastoplexy. I was wondering if anyone out there is familiar with this diagnosis and can tell me their experience. Specifically any…

An interesting article re: TNBC
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/245431.php The article is fairly long...some researchers at MIT have had some success with changing the timing of when current chemos are administered. They've only tested so far in mice, so even clinical trials will be a while...still gives me hope. Hugs, Linda

How long after surgery before starting radiation?
I'm wondering how long you waited after surgery before starting radiation? I have 3 more weekly Taxols to go, and, if those don't get delayed, then have surgery (lumpectomy) scheduled for the last Thursday in June. Have any of you started radiation as early as 3 weeks and 3 days after surgery? I'm trying to figure out if I…

Bean sprouts
Just wanted to update everyone. I am off antibiotics after a nasty bacterial diarrhea that left me reeling. Unfortunately, the ER never ordered the culture that they said they had done, so I will never know definitively what bacteria was involved in my infection. However, my GP told me that there was an outbreak of…
