Crazy rash? infection? on breast
So I am 3 months out of rads and now I have some crazy rash on that breast. When I went to the gyno 3 weeks ago and she gave me my breast exam she asked if I was doing anything for under my breast. I didn't know there was anything wrong under there! So I went home and started using the nystatin cream and powder that I used…

One more thing crossed off the post-cancer treatment list
Went today and had the 2nd and last of what I call my "chemo cavities" filled. I hadn't had to have a filling in years and years, had 1 break and need repair about 5 years ago but no cavities in probably 30 years, I thought there was nothing left to fill. My check up after chemo and rads showed 2 new cavities and now they…

I am feeling well physically and really hoping for the best. And, update...Amtrak was adopted by a friend of the vet tech. Very mixed…

He's my brother--priceless
Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and preceded to the checkout counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, how old are you?" "Eight," the boy replied. The man continued, "do you know what these are used for?" The boy replied, "not exactly, but they aren't for me.…

OT: Walking & my co-workers
Many of you know I'm a Human Resources Manager in sunny Southern California. For the past couple of years, I’ve been committed to walking on my lunch hour –- and did a pretty decent job of mostly keeping that up even through surgery, 4 rounds of chemo, and 7 weeks of radiation. Sometimes, I’ll walk in a nearby quiet…

A guy fell asleep on the beach and got a horrible sunburn, specifically to his thighs. He went to the hospital and was admitted with second-degree burns. His skin was starting to blister and he was in severe pain so the doctor prescribed continuous saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a Viagra pill every four hours. The…

OMG - Dr. arrested, held for $1million bail...yep, my Dr.
RE: http://www.dailybulletin.com/ci_18800859 --- I went to Loma Linda Urgent Care and was seen by Dr. Fakhoury. He is a very good, thorough, doctor and a true professional who actually listens. I never felt uncomfortable and I had to totally disrobe and put on a gown. I even removed my underwear and never once felt ill at…

Friday's MRI Results, etc. ...
Friday's MRI results were "lovely" (direct quote). No additional suspicious areas detected. All pre-op exam & test results were good to go, too. Therefore, was spared potential biopsy/biopsies and appts./tests this week - just several phone calls. So relieved. LOVE my new surgeon - she's absolutely awesome! Completed her…

Partner Disgusted by scar
It has been one week since my bilateral mastectomy. I will never forget the look on my partner's face when I took off the bandages and she saw my scars for the first time. She tried so hard not to show the terror on her face and to stop herself from crying. Since then, she has been acting differently. She doesn't kiss me…

Before mastectomy
Did any of you have the curiosity to look at youtube for an actual mastectomy video or any video before you had your own mastectomy? I'm thinking about doing it but I'm also afraid. Would you recommend it or not?

Hello everyone and thank you for all the kind words and prayers. My wbc and platelets took a nosedive after my 2nd chemo on the 8th. Mouthsores made life even more miserable. Was put in Hospital for transfusions and was kept for 4 days. Outcome could have been bad. How did I gain 12 lbs when I didn't eat? I feel so…
