Hi Sue, Just keeping my fingers crossed for you and chanting B-9, B-9, B-9!! Hang in there, I remember those "quiet times," they are not fun at all! Hugs, Gail...
Saw my doctor and he was NOT HAPPY! He said the dr at the ER should have at least taken a blood test, and maybe even given me antibiotics with an IV. I looks better today, but he said if it is not a...
Thanks Bev. Yes it is warm and red and spreading, so I am on two different antibiotics and seeing my doctor today at 1:55pm . I hope this doesn't get any worse. It did not hurt before, but now it...
Last night when I took off my compression sleeve I saw I have red spots/rash on my lymphedema arm. Mostly on the inner arm below the elbow although there are some above the elbow also. It does feel a...
GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I am glad you stood up for yourself! I cannot believe the n/p told you it wasn't necessary, what an idiot! Good luck and let us know how your appt goes. Gail...
CageLoves, I am sending out prayers for your biopsy to be B9! Hang in there, the waiting is the hardest! Gail...
YAY!!!!!! That is such good news! Happy dancin' in WA State for you!! Gail /community/emoticons/yeah.gif ...
Sorry to hear you have to have a biopsy, but hopefully it is benign. 80% of lumps biopsied are benign so those are good odds. I think the waiting is the worst part of all this. My results were back...
zicnzz, I am glad you are feeling better now. Hope the news was good! Gail...
Wow, you have been through the mill, haven't you. Prayers coming that all heals well now and you can get on with your life!! Keep us informed how things are going, ok? Don't overdo and take care!...

LdyJane, I just want to send prayers your way for a great success with the Tram of Lat and a quick healing so you can get on with your life! Hugs, Gail...
Laure, Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. I don't really get why they can't just test her, probably cause they would rather not be the ins company to pay for it. I have no problem getting...
Hi ladies, My daughter, 36, just had her first mamo since her history has several breast or ovarian cancers in there. The recommend her having genetic counseling and me being tested fro the brca...
I am sorry to hear is it positive. I do believe though, that your good attitude will help you through this. As Juju said, keep in touch, we are here for you and will be, throughout your journey if...

MK, I am so sorry everything is such a mess. I am sure that Carolyn is scared, even with her toughness, and having a hard time being strong. She must feel that everything is getting totally out of...
I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Keeping the positive thoughts and prayers coming! Gail...
Jenene, just because you have to come in right away does not necessarily mean it is cancer. They want to double check whatever they are looking at. When do you go back in? Sometimes the sonogram will...
MK my heart goes out to all of you. This is so much to deal with. As Deb said, you never know about Carolyn, she is one tough cookie. I will be praying for a big improvement and for her strength to...
Hang in there. The waiting is always the hardest part. Let us know how you are. Prayers and positive thoughts for you! {{{{HUGS}}}} Gail...
Trishy, I am sorry you are going through another surgery. I can't help you with your question, but someone on here may be able to. Weekends it is slow, so hang in there and stay with us. I am sending...
Hi Jen, I think you should get a second opinion. I would want them biopsied. With your family history of cancer, find a doctor who will biopsy them so you can have a "sure" answer. A biopsy is the...
Hey Betty! Great to see you here! Long time since I saw you! Hope you are well and happy! Stick around!! Hugs, Gail...
Hi Lori, I know you are terrified and very confused right now. The weekend times it gets much slower around here, but hang in there, you'll get some replies. I can't help in the chemo dept and stuff...

I am glad to hear your doctors are being thorough! You are in my thoughts and prayers and please let us know how it goes. We are all here for you. Gail...
I agee with Lori and Judy, get some answers and don't stop till you do. If anything, I have learned to be my own advocate after being diagnosed. Sometimes it take some pushing to get them to listen!...
Hi MK, I am so happy to hear you are doing well! I know shopping can certainly perk me up! lol I will say a prayer for Chris and Carolyn. Please be sure to post what the findings are and what they...

Is there any chance that you have lymphedema? I don't have a lot of swelling, but I have it under both arms, chest and right arm. The most painful is under the arms. I have a compression bra I...

Bev, thank you SO much for the link!! You are so helpful! Gail...
Hi ladies! A friend of mine in CA called me to see if it is a law, that insurance cover breast recon after mastectomy. I thought it was. I have found some info on this that I read as it is. Those of...
Hi Jane, you certainly have a lot on your plate right now. I just wanted to say that it depends on the tumor (size, type, stage,etc) on whether or not a lympectomy is followed with chemo. My tumor...
Megan, thinking of you today.......... L&H, Gail...
Megan, sorry you are doing the waiting game again. I really think that is one of the hardest parts of all this! Seem's like you're always waiting for something! Well, just know we are all here for...
