False...but I've started Christmas shopping 

Next person loves to crochet 

How about watching the Ed Sullivan show....that was a big one for us on Sunday nights.

ivylane....I remember the once a year wizard of oz, I loved it but I also was scared of the witch and the flying monkeys. 

I had re-excision done almost a month after lumpectomy ( bs thought that one area was a bit close to margin) and I agree with Kosh it was easier than lumpectomy and it healed quite nicely.

Hi Torchsong,

Of course you can post here....we are all one big family, Canadian, US or any other country. 

Thisisme....I agree with Bessie, I too didn't have any wait time. As soon as my doctor saw my lump she sent me to the surgeon the next day, I had my mammo done 2 days later and then a week later had biopsy, surgery followed 2 wks after that. Mind you I'm in Brampton, not at Sunnybrook. I say if you doctor is very concerned get her to get on them...or refer you somewhere else.

I agree with you ....now instead of pain on my hand ...lower half of my index finger slightly swollen. But again I think  this is part of treatment. Just taking it as it comes.

I also have a pain on my left hand just about the wrist....I went to the doctor and she gave me a mild anti-inflammatory for 3 days, it helped a bit, but I still have the pain every so often when I bent my hand forward. I'm keeping an eye on it and being extra careful with it...I'm hoping it will get better. My doctor did tell me that she thought it was tendinitis. Could this be the result of treatment????

So sorry you have to go through this . I certainly understand how you are feeling in regards to all the appointment and tests you have to go through. Never mind all the information. My decision was a little different not only did I have radiation, but I also did chemo and am now on tamoxifen. I was told I didn't need mastectomy just lumpectomy so that decision was made for me. I thought of it this way I would do what ever necessary to give me the best out come. Good luck with everything.....we are all here for you. You are not alone

False...we do our own cancer fund raiser in June, we raised over $20,000.00 this year

Next person loves sitting in front of the fireplace on cold days, I sure do. 

So True....70+ weather here in Toronto, can you believe it. I'm loving every minute of it

Next person isn't going to vote because they are Canadian and already had there election. 

We hear you.....who didn't cry when their hair started falling out. I filled the waste bin of my bathroom up  twice. I went out and got myself some very beautiful scarfs and hats, just to make me feel a bit better. I also bought myself a wig. It helped.....but remember so too this will pass. Hang in there.

We all know how you are feeling.
