Hi out there,I went to the dr. yesterday to get a refill on my meds.While I was there I showed him a cut on my wrist that I received last week that stayed sore and red. He said it was cellulitis. It is on the same arm as my lumpectomy.
Also he talked to me about his wife who has also breast cancer but in the past had something wrong with her kidneys,now the chemo is very hard on her weak kidneys and the dr. (internal med,dr) made a statment that the chemo was really hurting her than actually doing her any good.
I told him that when I found my cancer it was through a dream.and He said there was a story about a lady who had a dog who was always so gentle but started growling and bitting at her breast. That is when the lady found her cancer. The dr,said there is now a research to see if animals can sence cancer...........Kittycats

    I believe you when you say you found your cancer through a dream. I've heard other women say the same thing. Mine was an itch. For about five years I had this very deep itch in my right breast. It wasn't a big area and it didn't itch bad. It was just a nuisance. After my lumpectomy I didn't have it anymore. In fact, my lump was right in the area of the itch. I get frustrated with doctors sometimes. They seem to think we are just obsessive about our bodies when we have a "trivial" complaint, or a problem they can't find an answer to...when, in reality, we listen to our bodies, and know when something isn't right.

    Hi Obliva, I dreamed that I looked into a mirrow and there I saw white fungus covering my breast and under my arm.The next day which was a Saturday,I started to get dressed to go shopping and I remembered the dream .As soon as I felt the lump I knew there was something different ,it was hard instead of just like a firm muscle .Since I have a lot of fibroids on my breast and since this one felt hard ,I became very frightened.I called my sister and told her what I found and she came by and felt it and when I looked into her eyes she looked frightened. I was more frightened (not knowing) than when the dr.actually said the dreaded word.
    Yes I believe if dr,s listened more to their pt`s then we would have better health.
