Just found a lump
I was sitting here tonight watching TV. I reached for something and noticed that things didn't feel quite right. So I pressed around and found a lump in the breast where cancer was found in August. It's about an inch long and sore. Located in the upper outside quadrant. I hope beyond hope that it's an infected lymph node…

Question for my stage IV/mets sisters...
How do you answer when someone asks "How long will you be in treatment?" I usually evade and tell them 'I'm not sure. We have to see what the next CT scan says." But in my case, it is more likely that I will be in treatment in one form or another for the rest of my life. Every time I get asked this question (and it seems…

Not totally OT - Any tatters out there?
I usually forget to get busy making tatted book marks to take to the Retreats I go to. We decorate mail bags and hang them so anyone can secretly give little 'things' or special notes to each other. Well I always have a few to take but I really want to have enough for everyone this spring and I do have enough time and…

Hi lovely sisters -- I haven't been here for a few days, but I've been thinking about Kari and Laurissa and wondering if I missed any news? Has anyone heard anything from them? Hope everyone is doing well. I've joined the group on facebook and keep myself informed about other sisters there too.

Thanks for letting me vent, Pink Ladies!
Well thanks to you and my family and friends, I am feeling so much better! Today, I called my boss and told him that I was not coming back to work until the fall. My teaching job is safe, I will still be paid thanks to our union's sick bank, and I have a great substitute teacher. It truly is a load off of my mind.…

Longterm Follow up for DCIS with BMX and No Reconstruction?
I had a BMX w/ no reconstruction for DCIS on 1.11.11. I had asked my surgeon last summer what kind of follow up I will have. She said my family dr. should show me how to do self chest exams now (I realize now SHE should have shown me. Don't know why she didn't and why I didn't think of it then). So, that's it. I realize…

Starting new treatment today-call in for the pink bus
I am starting the Faslodex injections today as well as the Zometa infusions for my new bone mets. From a couple of people, I've heard that the Faslodex injections are quite painful--it is the consistency of syrup and they have to put it in real slow. Ouch--I hate pain. I'm not crazy about starting the Zometa (because of…

Infection at the port site
Has anyone gotten redness/infection at the port site? I am here for my chemo session and brought the redness to their attention. They put me on Cipro to treat it, but I am still unclear as to what causes it. They just said it happens. Can anyone give me more insight than that?
