I am a 2.5 year male breast cancer survivor. I have had neuropothy ever since chemo (taxol and FAC). All the drugs took for neuropothy did me no good. Several weeks ago I started acupuncture at MD ANDERSON. The pain went away but the numbnes and tingling is still there. I can live with the numbness and tingling.

Public Speaking about Breast Cancer

I have tried to get into public speaking, going on television and having newspaper articles published and to no avail. I am a man that is a survivor of BC and most people do not even realize that men can get BC. I want so much to spread the word.

I am sooooo Exhausted...can anyone relate?

I finished chemo and rads back in Oct 2005. I have been tired ever since. My Doc did a blood test on me and found that I had a very low hemoglobin count and that is why i was tired. So ladies make sure that your hemoglobin count is not low.

anyone afraid to use the survivor word?

i hate when people say i am in remission. I am a survivor and that means the damn BC will not come back

how about drinking?

Seems like i bumbled into a board of drinking fun ladies. I am one of the few male BC survivors(one year) and have been afraid to drink since i came down with BC. Looks like i was being to overprotective of my self. I sure would love to join all you ladies for a drink to the happy holiday season.
