Herceptin ladies (Finished)
After completing all Chemo/Herceptin, how many of you had your Onc "recommend" to keep it in? Did you keep it in or remove it anyway? My diagnosis was IDC, my Onc suggested I keep mine in for another 2 years! Does this mean he expects me to have a recurrence or is it just the norm for this type of BC? Cat

My momma....
I lost my dear Momma on November 2, 2010. She fought a brave battle, but lost. Right now, it's Thanksgiving morning, and life without her is unbearable. I took care of her and believed in my heart that she was getting better, only after she died, it hit me that I was in fact watching her die. My dad is coping, but losing…

Thanksgiving tradition
Every year, my family creates a 'thankful book'. Each member of the family gets a page, and we write what we are thankful for in that year. When the kids were little, they told me what to write or drew pictures. It is one of the highlights of Thanksgiving to go back to previous years and read what we wrote. This year will…

My laptop is dying
My old laptop is dying. It does not have a virus (had it checked) and my hubby is pretty sure it is a gear in the hard drive as it makes horrible noises. Luckily, it has been doing weird things for awhile now, so Katherine insisted that we get me a new laptop for Christmas that she picked out. I said I didn't need it and I…

My 'secret santa' is on it's way!!! And, as I was waiting, a man in front of me took pity on my lack of knowledge of these 'express mail' boxes...and helped. And then, being friendly with the gals in the Post Office, he wangled free tape for me!!! YEA!!! WHAT a wonderful angel I happened upon!!! Hugs, Kathi

Scared?
Do you ever stop being scared? I am in my second year as a bc survivor and still feel scared about what might be going on in my body. It frightens me to read about people who have had reoccurences or multiple cancers, as if the very act of reading the words will somehow make it happen to me. Do you ever stop?

I wonder what the ornament and secret santa is....
I guess I missed out, didn't see it, but it sounds like all of you participating are so touched by this!! Sounds wonderful.

Menstruation and Chemo
I turned 40 this past August while I was on chemo. I finished chemo in early Oct. I was wondering have any of you pre-menopausal women gotten your period back after chemo finished or should I assume it's not coming back! I don't know whether to be excited or not! LOL thanks Chris.
