Day 12 of Pammy's Rads
Woohoo...1/3 of the way done!! I have just realized that I have made it one third of the way through Rads today. So far it has been pretty easy. I am starting to tire easily all the sudden, my nipple is a wee tiny bit sore, my chest wall is a little sore, and I sting just a tad. Nothing that really requires too much…

Second Opinions
I feel the need to pick the brains of my fellow sisters in pink. I got my results from my lumpectomy on Friday and was told by my surgeon that in a few places the margins were only 1mm, one of the areas was very close to the nipple and in order to get more margin she would have to take skin/nipple but said she would meet…

Please send your good thoughts for Young_One
I have some sad news that I heard on another board about our young_one, who used to post on this board. I only know of this second hand and have not been in touch with young_one herself, so I feel limited in what I can post here. For those who don't know her, young_one is a young breast cancer survivor who used to post on…

Now it's getting nasty
He has finally realised that I AM leaving him, I'm NOT coming back and he can't change my mind by promising me the earth. So he's turning ugly. Anyway...
