It is Probably Me ..OK?
Ladies, While I am still limited to seeing the current posts ... I am not a blind one either.... I see all too well, and I don't like the nonresponsive attitude!!! I hate to come across this way, but where does it end?.. At what point is that when we decide enough is enough...??? I am only asking what I would hope? What…

I had invasive ductal carcinoma in left breast with 7 positive nodes 7/26/01. I finished chemo and radiation in March 2002. I had preventive mastectomy of my right breast and removal of my ovaries in September. I thank God everyday for life. He has been very gracious.

Way to go Tara!
You go girl! Just saw your post from 2-12-03, can totally relate to you as a parent, being a single mom of 2 boys, and feel like ex is too irresponsible to raise them.....have to give him this, he does at least pay child support. Can't say that we've seen eye to eye on a lot of things LOL, but I am just plum tickled to see…

Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi everyone! Can we stop talking about death and think about living? Yes, I know it's something to think about and that it'll happen sooner or later but better later. Now let's get on with each new day so we can be ready when God calls us to Him. Let's think about this day, Valentine's Day. I wish all of you lots of love,…

Thanks for Sharing
Ink, Iris, Cathy: The replies under Hey There Ladies! were so thoughtful and honest on a subject so many fear that I printed them out! It is a good topic for dialogue and I feel more confident knowing that others think about the same issues I do. When I first got breast cancer, I immediately knew that I had relationships…

While we're on the subject of death...
What a coincidence that ya'll were discussing death under 'Hey there girls' when I had just printed info on the VA State Anatomical Program yesterday! A long time ago, I chose to be an organ donor on my driver's license which I still think is a great thing to do. When I had planned on doing that, I wanted my remains to be…

Mouth Dryness and Bad Tastes-please read
Some people try different things to alleviate these symptoms--just be cautious--am a Dental Hygienist and have seen many patients go through chemo and try these things (like antacids, candies, gum etc) which help with the taste and/or dryness temporarily, only to end up with MAJOR dental problems--like rampant tooth decay,…

Need Input
Yesterday I went for my lab work and was told that my red blood count and hemaglobin was too low. I was given a shot of Procrit which wasn't very comfortable. Is there anything that I can eat to raise these levels to avoid more shots?? I haven't had a problem yet keping up at work, but when I get home I'm pretty much…

Hello all, Last night a few of us were on the new chat to try it out. It is fast and works well. Our programmers have put together an easy to use, and very fast response, chat room. One thing that confused me for a short time is that the post is preceeded by the posters name. When I posted, there was no name, so I started…

Gene Expression profiling
I have a friend who told me about this. Your cells taken at biopsy or surgery (lumpectomy, etc.) can be checked for good signature or poor signature. Results of test will indicate whether or not you should take tamoxiphen. I had two lumpectomies last year and radiation and opted not to take tamoxiphen because I was Stage…

Attention Ladies!
hello Sisters, This is in reference to Pawel or whatever he chooses to call himself. He is not a DR and has been banned from 3 different sites! Maybe I have the wrong guy, but he sure enough sounds exactly the same, and I don't believe he is a clone.... The same jerk! Anyway we can always have him banned, and deleted or at…
