I would like to know how I go about participating in one of your chats. I have never paraticipated before and I would like to know how to do it. I had a lumpectomy and 10 clear lymph nodes removed in Sept. I am now taking tamoxifen, with hot flashes which are much worse than when I went thru menopause.

    Dear Patty,
    Oncology.com is the best place to chat. After you log in, go to Cancer Buddies. You'll need to register first before you can chat. After you're registered, go into the Cancer Buddies Lounge. The trick is to be there when some one else from CSN is there. Several of us discussed reserving Tuesday and Thursday evenings around 8:00 EST to chat (if we're available). I often try to log on at 8:00 during other evenings too, just in case some one else is there. Hope you can join us!

    Try as I did, I still couldn't find anyone last night (Tuesday) so I will try again on Thursday, just in case someone might be online. I got into the live chat last week so I'm not sure what the problem was, unless no one showed up. but I doubt that, we were all looking forward to the chat. I will try again. vinnie
