Antioxidants helped me
Dear Friends: I know a lot of doctors don't believe that antioxidants or vitamin supplements do anything for cancer. All I know is what they did for me personally. As some of you already know my story, but some of you are new to this site since then, I will tell more of my story. In June of 2000, I was dx with Stage IV…

Hi Jamie...just saw your post about the weight problems. I gained weight during radiation because I got so tired, I just layed around and ate. So, when I finally said enough is enough, I started on the Zone Diet. It is very easy to follow, and once you learn the portions, you can make up your own menus. I also bought a…

Mastectomy with reconstruction same time
I had a mastectomy and reconstruction the same time and had to stop for chemo, just started my first. I felt a bit spacey afterwards, Dr. said I can't finish reconstruction until all treatments are complete. Then they'll have to take the expander out and put in the implant. Also if any of you have done a clinical trial…

Nipple reconstruction...Is it worth it???
I'm looking for anyone who has had this done. My mastectomy was August 9, 2001 with an combination expander-implant inserted the same day.
