eyelash/brow loss
I had my last treatment of chemo in 11/02. I have had 10 radiation treatments. I lost a few lashes during chemo, but over the last week I have lost almost all of them. Is this an after affect? I asked the radiation doc and he said radiation shouldn't be affecting it. Did anyone else experience this? Bobbie Jo

Chemo Delays
I keep hearing everyone say that they have their chemo infusion every 3 weeks. Mine seem to be every 4 weeks due to low white and red blood cell counts. How common is this? My Dr. is saying that sometimes chemo can be up to every 5 weeks, depending on the response...but that's not what I'm reading. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi ladies, guess who is part of our "club"? My favorite singer, Anastacia. She has BC at an early stage. Instead of people joining her fan club, she's part of ours now. Sad to say but this cancer doesn't look anyone in the face. I hope she'll be alright. God help us all. My thoughts and prayers are always with all of you.…

Neoadjuvant Chemo not working
Hi everyone and thanks for your prayers previously. I had the ultrasound of the tumor and they found a slight increase in the size. The doctors believed it to simply be a margin of error between measurements. We decided to do a lumpectomy with a local and light sedation (for the baby's sake) and the pathology report shows…

It has almost been two years since I found this site and the support of wonderful women. This is truly the place I come to lay down my soul.

Hummingbyrd's site - so easy/nice
Hi Hummb! I think you are not getting the participants you ought to for the foremost reason that readership has dropped off tremendously since the stupid remake of this site. It is so sad that I do not feel apologetic about insulting any of the programmers on the CSN network. It was so easy to search old messages etc. -…
