    How often do you get mammograms RE? They wanted me to after 6 months, but, I am still too sore. So, I might wait a year actually.

    My oncologist wanted me to wait for the 1 year mark after surgery but with the potential loss of insurance we did it this month (9 months from my surgery). I had something hinky on that mammo so we did more mammos and an ultrasound which looked fine. The radiologist said he prefers that the 1st mammo are done 6 months after surgery, He said it gives them a better baseline. He wants me to repeat my mammos in 6 months. My breast is still occasionally sore but the mammos were surprisely easy. I had a good tech and she knew about the cancer and surgery. It is doable and if you can I would do them at the 6 month point like they want. This is just my suggestion and only you truly know if you are ready. Obviously waiting until the one year mark is okay if my oncologist was going to go that route.

    Someone suggested to me....
    that my depression might be due (at least in part) to the time I spend here. NO FREAKIN WAY! I am never happier than when I am here being a part of great news like this, or even when I am trying to support and encourage someone who isn't able to post good news at the moment.
    Of course, the person who said that is not a member or our club so I have to cut them some slack, they just don't 'get it'.
    Anyhow, thank you one and all for making my life richer and fuller just by being who you are.
    God bless you every one.

    Dear RE and Stef!!!
    AWESOME! AWESOME!

    P.S.: Typed everything twice...
