Yoga works
I have taken advantage of taking Yoga classes at the Wellness Center by me that are scaled down to a pre-Yoga so BC people can actually do the work and feel good. I've done it twice and twice I've experienced an easier time of breathing, being aware that my back wasn't hurting and the expanders hurt less. I felt more…

Re: Anyone tired?
were I 97, I could honestly say I didn't feel any more tired than could be expected. I am, however, 54 and have two more radiation treatments to go. I work full time and must be beginning to look like my old self, if you discount the wig. I don't feel like that at all and feel far older than I did last April before this…

Feeling Older-Thanks To You Feeling Better
Thanks, Everyone! I needed to hear your answers. I know, deep inside, I'm doing okay but from day to day it's hard to be creative on command (I'm a graphic designer in label design--spent my time in radiation doing speculative work on breast pumps of all things--get these things away from me!!!). Thank you for picking my…

Clear Mammogram, Happy but Scared
Dear friends, My visit to the doctor yesterday gave me some hope although I must admit I have mixed feelings about it. My mammogram was clear (yea!) and he decided not to put me through any chemotherapy for the moment. I will be starting radiation and tamoxifen in the coming months, but sometimes wish I would have gotten…
