Hi Pinks, Sorry for taking so long to update :(
Hi Pinks, I want to say sisters, but we have some brothers on here to and I'm sure they don't mind being addressed as "pinks" after all, real men wear pink, right? As with Laurissa, this Carbo/Gem has been really tough. I'm currently down to just the Gemzar because the Carboplatin has broke my blood down so bad that I've…

Generating Ideas for bad memory
Ok here is the issue. Whodathunkit. After getting breast cancer I managed to miss a breast exam and went two months without a self exam. I blame it partially on bad memory and partially on menopause.
