I just finished chemo and had my mastectomy a while ago. My radiation oncologist is recommending radiation and I'm a little apprehensive. Can anyone tell me what side effects I should expect if I have radiation? thanks

Mammo/PET scan ??
Got a Question. I am going to have a mammo in Oct., and then a PET Scan in NOV. Why have the mammo? If any cancer is present it will show on the PET right. This just seems like double testing, and more money I have to pay them. I'm thinking of skipping the mammo, and having the PET in Nov. What's your thoughts?

Update for lifting me up!!! Radiation/Oncologist appt. over!!!!
Radiation, a breeze. Even took them a fruit tray. Oncologist was in a "somber" mood. I know his job must be hard but damn I need some uplifting. He didn't have the details about St.Louis (of course I can call and schedule they have all my paperwork). He said he could tell I was in a peaceful place that God is in control.…

How Donna got the bus?
A young man has been trying to avoid the .08 alcohol/driving issues, so last night when he went out with friends - and really tied one on - he tried something he had never done before.

The Heaven Can Wait Walk was Great!
Our walk today was a big success. There were over 4,000 people - which is good for a town of 85,000. The most emotional part for me was when everyone was asked to kneel while the survivors all stood. Of course I was very happy and proud to have my husband at my side (he even wore a pink cap). I also spoke with someone I…
