Please Help... Emotional and Mental Support and Advice Needed
Ever since my bilateral mastectomy, I have been on some drugs to prevent remission but they are really messing with my memory. Most often, it is just for short periods of time and eventually I remember what I had forgotten. But it scares me so much, especially since I am only 36 years old! How can I be this weak? I am too…

PET Scan Results--Not what I expected
I saw the oncologist today. The lung nodules are growing very slowly, and still to small to biopsy. He also believes that my cough could be caused by the blood pressure medicine I've been taking for 20+ years. He said he is comfortable with a wait and see approach to the lung nodules since they are growing to slowly to be…

My little sister was just diagnosed with Stage 0 cacinoma in-situ. I am so upset and somehow feeling weirdly guilty.

Removing implants after BLM
I was talked by the surgeons into having implants put in after my BLM. They told me "I wouldn't look right in clothes" if I didn't have reconstruction. I told them to give me the smallest implants possible so they could do it at the same time as the BLM and I wouldn't have to go back for another surgery. I'm almost 4…
