Have to wait all weekend for bone results.
My MRI bone results were laying on the nurse's desk and she couldn't tell me what they were because the doctor was not in the office today. I have a great surgeon who calls when results come in, but this oncologist doesn't do that. I went for my chemo class today and asked the nurse if my results came in, she said yes,…

wig question
How many of you prefer wigs or just hats and scarves? Do you have problems keeping the wig on your head? Are there products to wear under it to keep it from slipping? I'm afraid I'll get out in the wind and there it goes. I've also never worn hats and scarves, not even a ball cap. My wigs arrived yesterday and they look…

port today
I did not expect such pain. I've never been shot or stabbed, but I bet it's similar to the pain I'm feeling. I didn't think the scar would be as long as it is with a small one above it. It is easing up a bit. It's been in for about 10 hours now. Did anyone else feel this much pain? I'm on percoset. I guess having a strange…

Can chemo be given without having surgery to the breast?
I have recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 ductal carcinoma. I discovered a small hard lump under my arm and had it removed. It came back positive and that is how I was diagnosed.

How do you deal with all the fears?
Went to my PCP yesterday for a totally unrelated BC issue. He ordered a chest X-ray. Received a phone call this afternoon saying that there is a 'vague shadow' in my left lung. He ordered blood tests and a CT-scan. Was dx with DCIS in my left breast six weeks ago. Since then have had more tests than I've had in my entire…

A Great Big Thank you
Hi Everyone, Thank you for all of your prayers and support. My surgery on Friday went well, but the recovery is a bit slower than I anticipated.

Another Whew!!!!!! No recurrence in bone
Today I saw an orthopedic surgeon regarding pain I have been having in my bicep in the left arm (the same side as my bc). This has been going on for several weeks, and my old onc had done an xray, and then an MRI, and couldn't determine if there was a problem with the bone, or with the muscle. Anyway, the Ortho looked at…
