OT - Any one want to learn tatting?
Anybody want to try to learn to Tat? If you do let me know and I'll try to teach you.

Numb head

Hello my Beautiful Pink sisters... So per my last update my GYN wanted me to get an MRI because she found/felt a "nodule" on my left breast.

In hopes of educating Pink Sisters
Have you had radiation treatment? If so read on. I am hoping to alleviate some worry. I had a lumpectomy in May of 2011, did chemo, and had 33 radiation treatments which ended just before Thanksgiving. I had a second biopsy of suspicious cells that turned out to be just scar tissue in Jan 2012. I had been to the chemo…
