Hysterectomy info & tips -please share!!
This morning I have an appt for my annual exam with my gynecologist. I'll also be scheduling my hysterectomy. I have the BRCA1 gene & have had quite a few abnormal paps and uterine biopsies over the years, so rather than just having the ovaries removed my oncologist recommended that I have it all taken out. I remember when…

I'm new to this
I'm a newbie here to this forum and to having Breast Cancer. Your posts have made me laugh and cry, given me hope, encouragement and a feeling of special kinship with this pink sisterhood.

OT-But just had to share!
Yesterday I was walking around on my back porch & my movement scared a bird out of my old duck pen & it flew off into a tree just outside of the fence. It was chirping and it sounded odd, yet familiar.(I hadn't seen it yet) I then noticed 2 Blue Jays hovering over this bird like they were about to strike at it. It was a…

Radiation graduate !!!
Woohoo... I just finished my final treatment about an hour ago and I got the diploma to prove it. It was kind of a bittersweet moment, Paula said to me before leaving the room for the final dosage "last one Lorrie". I laid there on that table trying to hold back my emotions.

Silly ...... "brain squeezers"
So, in a few of my ornery moments I had been telling family and friends that I needed some wide headbands with huge flowers on them to wear so that I could ditch my wigs.
