Confused and upset
I just don't understand this. I have invasive ductal carcinoma. I was told that the mammy could not detect this because the tumor was so small less than 1 cm. A ultrasound confirmed this. Yesterday I was told MRI looked good, showed no more cancer than what we already new. Today I saw onc and she tell's me that MRI…

Adventures in Retail Therapy
When Moopy decided on Thursday that we needed a new refrigerator, I got right on it. When I first moved to Springfield, MO in 1987, I rented from a couple who owned a mom and pop appliance store. When the Moop and I got married in 1992, we bought all of our appliances and even our first bedroom set from Foster's Appliance.…

I WON (now desparate for advice!)
Last weekend I went to the nicest fundraiser I think I will ever go to. The group had a Mother's Day Out for the ladies where we could participate in a silent auction, 50/50, get door prizes, sign up for all kinds of services and stuff. Well, to make a long story short, I dropped a couple of tickets in the silent auction…

No more AC!! Taxol starts tomorrow...
Oh, how glad I am that AC is finally OVER. I never thought I would get through it...that stuff is horrible to the body. I start Taxol tomorrow, May 14th. Even though I know it's not as rough as AC, I'm still not looking forward to it. It seems like, if there is a side effect...I will have it. It's probably all in my head.…

10 year old Hannah
This is not a joke, or an urban legends. My co-worker husband plays baseball with Hannah's dad. She is a 10yr old diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. She had a mastectomy. They have a webpage (being hit hard-it was on our local news a couple of days ago). If you would like to visit the site and send any good wishes her…

Posting Pix and Tutorials, etc etc
I have to laugh reading the terms URLs, upload, etc etc etc... I don't know how to do ANY of it, and I don't even understand the instructions so lovingly given by Aortus. If my life depended on copying and pasting, I'd be a dead woman! ! Truth be told, I have never even watched a movie in our DVD player...I don't know how!…

Joke
A doctor at an (insane) asylum decided to take his inmates to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything seemed to be going well. As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, ''Up nuts!'' And the inmates complied by standing…

psychic visit
My crazy nomadic dear sister was in town for a couple days and treated me to a visit with a psychic that she had seen a few times. Hmmm.........I went for the entertainment and with an open mind because some of what my sister had heard in the past was kind of spot on weird. She started by telling me that my mom was there,…

reconstruction question
I think I may be impatient...again. Could someone please tell me how long after having expanders removed and implants put in did your breasts take their full shape? I had surgery on April 9th. Initially I felt great. Just to have the hardness of the expanders out and the softness of the implants was wonderful. The surgeon…

I miss so much when I am away, bilirubin, questions.
It is so hard to keep up with all of you. I was at a workshop and I can tell I am way out of the loop, being gone for a couple of days. Anyway, I did get test results back today...inconclusive. They don't know why my bilirubin is high, at least the ultrasound did not give them any clues. All the nurse told me on the phone…

First of all, she looked at my 3-day food diary and declared my diet perfect -- for a woman with estrogen positive cancer. Apparently, the needs of us estrogen negative women differ slightly. The…
