Sugar
Sisters I have a Question. Does having sugary deserts hurt us after BC? When I eat sweets I think about what I had read in a few comments awhile back but I'm not sure what was said. During the holiday's there were pie's and we had sweeeet birthday cakes at that time also. How much sugar can we have daily? Not that I eat…

First Chemo today
Well it's here, the day I've been dreading.. my first treatment day. I can no longer deny it, I am a cancer patient. I'm scared and I'm sad. I want to run away as far as I can, but I know this crap will only go with me. I want to go back to my normal life, but I guess this will be my "normal" life now. I know ya'll…

Rescheduled first treatment
My first treatment has been rescheduled for this Thursday. My onc was 3 hours behind this morning, which put me late to get treatment. I was told that they could not do it because the pharmacy closes at 4:00. So now I get to go through all the nerves and upset all over again. Maybe I won't be nervous on Thursday. It's just…

i recently heard or read that breast cancer patients should not drink reg milk and should take low dosage aspirin. I need to call onc and ask but thought maybe someone here knows about it. My onc didn't tell me about diet at all. Well except for eating healthy which my primary is always telling me that. Exercise and eat…

What is your treatment center like?
All of my non-cancer healthcare providers have wonderful waiting areas, great staff, etc. My rads onc's office is pleasant and has a warm, caring staff. My med onc's office however, is cold, unfriendly and unwelcoming. My Dr is okay and I have confidence in him. His bedside manner is cordial. I love his Nurse Practioner…
