Recently, my husband decided to friend an ex girlfriend of his on facebook. I was devastated to say the least. I am sure the…

Tanning and Tamoxafin...Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!
Just wanted to remind my Tamoxafin friends to load up on the sun screen if you're on Tamox. I forgot last weekend, sat out reading my Kindle for 1.5 hours. Got the worst sunburn I've ever had. Pre cancer, it would take me 6 hours to just get pink! Since I plan on spending my lunch hours at the beach (another plus to this…

As a mom, something definitely went wrong....
I was diagnosed today with yet another kidney infection! My 27 yr old daughter happened to call and share her "bad" weekend, and then I added mine has been kind of bad, too. I told her about my 101+ fever, and my new 10 day antibiotic, etc. Exactly 3 hours later she called and invited me to drive 90 minutes tomorrow and…

OK to shave (as opposed to buzz) hair?
Hi everyone, I'd say I have about 50% of the hair on my head left. It started coming out on day 14 (Tuesday this week). I fear that when I shower today much more will come out, perhaps making what is left to little to keep. I don't own a machine to buzz the hair with. Id rather not go to the hairdresser to buzz it. I have…

Taxotere
This is for all the ladies who have taken Taxotere. My oncologist (who is no longer my oncologist, but that is another story)told me at the beginning of chemo that I would "like" Taxotere, that it would not make me as sick as CAF. CAF was very hard for me, lots of nausea, no vomiting, and fatigue, malaise and just…

TAXOL Chemo Question
Hi ALL- I just had a question regarding the TAXOL chemo. I am getting my last AC this Friday (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!) but I am a little nervous about Taxol. I guess I want to know what to expect. I hear bone pain can be very severe to the point of not been able to stand. How was your experience? Thanks for your help!

Taking kids to counseling
I thought I would post this because there are many who have younger children when diagnosed. Not that older children don't count but after you read this you will understand my reason for posting. My son was 9.5 and my daughter 12.75 when I was diagnosed. They seemed to have handled the news just fine. My son, being happy…

medical bills,found hospital program to cut costs dramatically

I had 1 procedure and 2 surgeries w/i 3 weeks and the bills for that alone added up. Well, on the bottom of my bill was a number to…
