Unfortunately, the pain is a common side effect. It isn't from bone loss. That's what my onc told me. I actually stopped it and the pain went away. I haven't yet filled my new prescription, although...

I would go for a second opinion. I worked as an RN for my breast surgeon after finishing my BC treatment. A few questions for you: Is the nipple retraction a NEW thing? Or has it been like this for...

Hi ladies: re: kinesiotaping--I have heard great things about it too! Just haven't tried it yet. I am getting ready to buy some new wraps, though. I am tired of the multiple layers I have to use to...

Just bumping this up again. Unfortunately this isn't going well, as I have only heard from 1 person so far. Please consider participating, friends. Hugs, Michele Hi Friends: A few months ago, Mel and...
We used to use the terms interchangeably. Basically, the radiologists (who are LOOKING at films) see a "lesion." Other docs, are FEELING something and call it a "lump." The docs don't FEEL "lesions,"...
Hi friends--Just wanted to let you know that Jen is still hanging in there, although she could really use your prayers & a card shower. She has been in the hospital since Saturday morning for...
Jo-Ann--I know that is what we have done in the past (to only send the list to sisters who have been willing to share their own addresses). I know originally we did it that way to safeguard our...

Janice--so sorry that you have been having such a rough time! You are STRONG and will, no doubt, continue to beat this c-rap about its head with a mallet. I sure wish you could catch a break!! Hang...
Hi Kathy--the ladies have given you good advice. The tape recorder and extra person were invaluable to me. I also kept copies of all of my test results, pathology reports etc in a folder. That way,...
Love you, honey. Just keep swimming--we'll all be right with you holding you up from under the surface of the water when you need it. Glad DH is going to have someone to talk to. Hugs, Michele...

Boy, is it me or is that new anti-spam feature a P.I.T.A? I don't have the energy or patience to wait it out (when I read & want to reply quickly) so I just leave. I understand the reasoning but...
This totally stinks--AGAIN. Crap. All I can do is eat some Pumpkin Pie ice cream with you--we have a local dairy that makes the BEST with little pieces of graham cracker crust in it. It would taste a...
