Some happy news....
I kind of hate to post in the middle of the MB's sad news, but, hopefully, my news will bring relief to some others as well. My bone and pet scans show no change at all--this is great news! In fact, the one rib that is still hypermetabolic (used to be 4 ribs that were) is less hypermetabolic than it was in February. The…

"Our Lost WARRIORS", What I know .....
Our hearts are sad, our lives a little empty -- losing a beloved Sister here on our boards is devastating, and makes no sense in my world. I try to concentrate on this milestones achieved by so many Kindred Spirits here, and memorialize those that have departed our earth, far too soon. I think of these Sisters daily. What…

On this site, you can light a candle for Meena too. We have done this before for Moopy & Heidi.
This is the link that will take you directly to the site where you can light a candle also for Meena and write a message. We did this before for some of our other pink sisters that are now angels. It is a pretty site and gives a moment of peace when you light your candle. It works! I hope you all will light a candle &…

Tamoxifen and bones aching?
I've been on tamoxifen for about a month now and have just started to notice that my bones ache. I had knee surgery almost 2 years ago and my knee actually throbs at times. The rest of me just feels "old". Has anyone else felt like this? Not too many hot flashes yet, so I guess that's good:)It's just the rest of my body…

Has anyone taken TAC? TC? How do I decide which chemo regime?
My doctor has given me a choice of TAC or TC. I have triple negative medullary stage 2 grade 3 negative lymph node involvement. Bone scan and cat scan negative for metastasis.

The 1/2 Marathon started somewhere near his house and when the people ran past it he took off and ran with…

Remember the Butterfly and Be encouraged!
Last year when I was going thru a difficult time I felt so bad I was wondering how I would get thru it all. Then I ran across a card with a gorgeous butterfly on it. Inside it read, "Just when the caterpillar thought her world was over, She became a butterfly." It continued, "Don't give up five minutes before the miracle!"…

I am weak in the knees
It all started during chemo. When I would get the shot the day after chemo, my knees would ache for a week or so and get better. By the time I finished chemo, one of my knees still ached. I figured that it was something that needed a little time. I then took 2 months of radiation. Knee still hurt, but I had other things to…

My cancer pharmacy has imparted some helpful info for those who may be struggling to pay for their prescriptions. Log on to www.rxoutreach.org.
