First mammogram tomorrow Update - I aced it!
I don't need the bus because I've got lots of errands to run after, but I'd sure like your collective vibes and prayers at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow PDT. I don't feel nervous about this at all. That may be because I already saw my bloodwork results and all was normal there. Nonetheless, sisters, I'd like you with me. I don't see…

Question about hair
My MO said I can color my hair anytime but it still needs to grow a bit longer. After chemo, my lashes grew back first and nice and thick. My eyebrows are ok but not great. However, I have a lot of facial hair on my cheeks. I guess it's not too noticeable but I know it's there. I'm 6 1/2 months post chemo and thought it…

Weight
Hi Everyone, I finished my 2nd chemo yesterday...so far so good, just some nausea and I'm very tire. However, I have found that I keep gaining weight.

slightly humorous story
Disneyfan, I haven't had nearly the problems you've experienced, but here's a good one for you: I was having my second hysteroscopic polypectomy in less than a year when the scissor finger of the polyp clipper broke off, inside my uterus. I was asleep, but the doc told me afterward. She had to explain why the back of my…

I'll be "out of pocket" for a while
Just wanted to tell everyone that I will be visiting my mom in upstate NY for two weeks starting tomorrow. Mom still lives in the 50's (bless her heart) so there is no internet access at her house and the Barnes and Noble is a ways away. Never fear, though, you are all in my prayers every single night. Sending all positive…

Finally finished with all treatments except Tamoxifen. 8 rounds of chemo, lumpectomy to remove a still 3 cm tumor, clean margins, but 2 lymph nodes still positive and 33 rads. I feel drained. Tired, pelvic pain, some nausea off and on, low energy, back ache, neck pain... I'm trying to get to the gym but I'm so tired it's…

Reiki anyone?
I was at my weekly support group at the Wellness Community and a few of the gals were talking about using Reiki as a healing tool. They were talking about the wonderful sense of well-being and relaxation they achieved through Reiki therapy. We were running short on time, so I couldn't ask a lot of questions although it…

some hair left on your head? + lotion in my eyes due to fewer eye lashes?
Hi everyone, I am two weeks out of my second treatment of Taxotere and Cytoxan. I did not buzz my hair, but did cut a pixie. Then I just let the hair come of as it pleased. Most of it did come off about 2-3 weeks after my first round. But I still have some hair left, and nothing additional seems to come out now after my…
