chronic celulitis?
I know you all must be getting tired of hearing me complain about this, but I was wondering if anyone else has a chronic case of this? This is my 4th infection since my feb. surgery. It's getting real annoying now. First the redness, then the swelling, then the shooting pains, then the fever. The worst part is the…

What happens if you skip rads for a few days?
Hello - My oncologist is closed Thanksgiving and the day after - I was planning on being out of town for the weekend and ask them if it would hurt to also miss Monday and they said it is not a good idea to miss that many days? Has anyone else had to miss days and what happens if you do? Thanks. Judy

Six month visit with Med Onc
This morning was my six month visit with my MO. I wasn't really nervous until this morning, when I couldn't stop crying. The route to the hospital kicks up my PTSD and that's after beginning to get nervous at home. Doc walked in told me I looked like a million bucks except for the tears. I've lost 33 pounds since he last…

Got the anti nausea meds this time
What a difference. I didn't get sick at all, they said it was unusual to get so sick from this chemo, but I did. This time though the constipation is going to get me. I am not a coffee drinker but am trying it all. Coffee, prune juice, oatmeal, laxative, even suppository. If this doesn't work then I don't know what will.…

Day 1 Radiation
Hey Rosas, I had my 1 of 40 today. I really didn't feel anything. Afterwards I felt a little light headed for a little while. Nerves I'm sure were a part of it. I hope it all goes as easy as today.

I need our PINK Bus -- tomorrow, 12/14 -- UPDATE ...
I am sorry to ask .. I have my very first colonoscopy tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. -- I realize you may be busy holiday shopping, working or preparing for Christmas -- just wanted to ask for some prayers. I have been suffering for many years from consipation, so my new internal physician has scheduled a colonoscopy to get a sneak…

Been MIA. Posted new pic
It seems life flashed by since the time I spent in Hershey with pink sisters. The picture is not the best (hubby took it) but I'm the one in the middle. Many times I was unable to get on the website, but try to check in occasionally. I look at fb pink sisters more often. We were without power for 8 days starting with the…

OT: Made Traci's Chocolate-Pumpkin Swirl Brownies
Made Traci' brownies today for my Bible study group and served with (Publix) pumkin pie ice cream and they were a big hit with all the ladies! I kinda cheated as Trader Joe's is about an hour away, so I used Dunkin Hines Decadent Brownie mix and a Kroger brand Pumpkin Bread mix and they turned out great. Thanks Traci for a…

Starting Arimidex and Rads
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! Doc started arimidex yesterday and I see the rad onc tomorrow. I feel so relieved to get these treatments started. We talked about my CT Scan (4-5 small nodules in my lungs were found). She said she can't rule out mets but neither could she say for certain that this is lung cancer or breast cancer that…

lump after radiation
I am three years out from breast cancer. I had a modified radical mastectomy on my right breast after 6 months of chemo. Then I had 33 rounds of radiation on my mastectomy sight to make sure no cells had escaped to better my chance of the cancer not returning for a very long time. Now I have a lump on my, I call collar…

Feeling off today ~~
I know I always tell other kindreds that it's perfectly normal to have a bad day but I'm 2 years this month finished with chemo and rads. I was just wondering if anyone else with this length of time still has these days. I'm sad, on the verge of tears and today it is upsetting me that I'm not stronger emotionally. I think,…
