It's because of Robin Roberts that I found my lump. I hadn't done a self-breast exam in a while (several months) and the day she announced that she had BC, I checked and found mine. I've emailed her...
I'm sorry that you're feeling this way Eve, but it's got to be cathartic to let it out. I keep wondering when I'm going to freak out because everyone keeps insinuating that I should be. I feel strong...
Cathi I can assure you that it's people like you I get my strength from. Thank you for taking the time to wish us 'newbies' well. I'm sorry that you are having such a tough time, but you sound strong...
Mammography with ulta sound is the gold standard for testing. It's just a tiny bit of discomfort, not even close to pain. Please don't let your fear of the test stop you, it could cost you your life....
Good luck Gypsy, I'll be thinking about you and sending good healthy thoughts your way. Laurie...
I get ferritin infusions every 3 months and it only takes a couple of hours. It's no big deal. Ferritin is what your body needs to produce iron. This is an easy problem to solve. Laurie...
Hi Miracles: I am so sorry about your Dad and in seeing your signature line, I can't believe all that you've been through. Your attitude is inspiring, thank you for sharing and know that my thoughts...
Ditto eveie! I can't express how badly I needed this right now and how grateful I am that you shared this story (I'm not sure if it's your own or not). Thank you! Laurie...
Thanks again for all the kind words and your good healing thoughts. They've worked because surgery was a breeze and very successful. Although the cancer was invasive, it did not reach any lymph nodes...
Hi GMA and thank you so much for responding to me. Your kind words brought tears to my eyes. You all have a way of being so inspiring...I'm telling you, you all need to pat yourselves on the back!...
You guys are such an inspiration!! I am just newly diagnosed and you all give me such a great sense of hope. Laurie...
Hi all! I've been a member for a while and have posted here and there. Primarily in the UC area because I had ulcerative colitis which resulted in a complete colectomy and jpouch. Life has been great...
Hi Karla: It doesn't sound like you're ready for a nursing home yet. When you are and a doctor will confirm it, you can apply for medicaid as long as you don't have more than $2,500 to your name....
Possitive, your name speaks volumes! /community/emoticons/smile.gif I'll tell ya, girls -- it's not just the support I see on here (which is amazing in itself), it's the attitudes. It's obvious that...
I don't have breast cancer and come to this site for support/information with other health issues, but today decided to read this forum for the first time. I want to let you all know that you've...
Please don't allow yourselves to be scammed by these desperado's. Sandi is right, this company was forced to shut down because they were lying and claiming that this will "cure" you. Scammers are all...
Mesh...I'm sorry, but he sounds so selfish. This man should be responsible for either making sure his family understands and is accepting of you or letting them know that their attitude towards you...
I think if you have clinical depression, it's because of an imbalance of some kind. If one is truly a pessimist, it's more of a choice....
Wow, what a strong, unselfish, loving woman you are. During a time of such horrendous pain, you're reaching out to help others. I heartily believe that you get what you give, so in your case...my...
Oh Sue, I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this!! Prayers and good healing thoughts are on there way!!!...
Lefty..your message was clear and certainly not without love and concern. I think it's very important to bring realism to this Thread and you've done that with your candid, honesty. Aloud...it's...
Aloud...I think you misunderstood Lefty. I didn't hear him/her say that you are or would ever treat your daughter in the same manner in which you were treated. What I heard she/he saying is that you...
