New Season - New Plan
Hi Everybody, After a ten-day nightmare with my lungs, I asked for an appointment with my oncologist. I asked him some questions about the drugs I've been taking, told him what I had read about cytoxan and Nulasta, and let him know how badly my breathing has been. He listened to my lungs, and decided that I needed a break…

Tell me someone else out there is living the wrath of a bad man!
I have been involved with dear Tom for the past year and a half but have known him for thirty-five. Since our recent , occasionally rocky, relationship I have changed careers, lost my dad and given up my home to live with him some two and a half months ago. When I found the "lump" five weeks ago he was scared but intensely…

♥ FOOTBALL ♥
The first game of the football season is tomorrow night! Green Bay and New Orleans! I actually like both teams, so, I am still undecided as to whom I want to win. I'll probably pick whichever team my hubby doesn't, so, I just might win a little money. lol So, who do you want to win this week? The Saints or the Packers?…

Migraine Ugh :(
I have had a migraine since yesterday, and, I can't seem to get rid of it. I keep taking Excedrin, and, it has helped, but, it is still here. I feel like someone is inside my head pounding it with a hammer to get out. What does anyone else do for these? I hate to call my doctor. I do have some strong pain pills I could…

Brava reconstruction put on hold for now.......
Hi all, I went to see my plastic surgeon to have my pre-op visit since my surgery was to be this Friday, the 16th. They pulled my fiance and I into an office and explained that they can't be my plastic surgeon because my new pcp (primary care physician) won't o.k. the surgery. My pcp said I can't see this doctor because he…

Why do some people have to have always have attention drawn to themselves? Are they that lonely?
I've always wondered why people always need to get attention. If they don't get it from others, they make sure that it is gotten somehow, even if they have to make up stuff. Is it because they are so lonely and insecure? Wondering what your thoughts are on it,or, if you even know people like this. Hugs, Jan

Mammograms - please spread the word
I have been hearing from patients that doctors are discouraging getting mammos before 50 and every year. Most people will put off a mammo for any excuse. Personally, I was diagnosed at 47 just a month after my little sister's doctor told her she doesn't need a mammo every year just because our older sister was diagnosed at…

Clear Mamogram,,,
I am so happy and relieved .. my mammogram came back clean. No cancer in breast. I had the mammo done on Sept. 1st and have been waiting for the letter to get here. I was a nervous wreck. My GP sent me an email and gave me the results. He was afraid the mail wouldn't get here until Monday because of the holiday. I am so…

When it is time to put friendships to rest.....
This girlfriend and I have worked together, gone on trips together, have been friends for 14 years, good friends for about 6. We have plans to go to a show out of town this week. One of the first things she asked is if I am wearing my wig. Said no... then there was silence. (I always wear a cute hat or scarf). Then she…
