Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
Betrayal, It it 65° in Colorado Springs right now so it is hot for us. Maybe we will get a little snow by Friday—I hope so. That is the only day of the next 15 where they predict any precipitation. The fire danger here is very real as we are a dry climate. I am sorry for you all who are living with snow and cold right now and are not used to it. My DS lives in Upstate NY and has 18 inches that is staying frozen. He is used to it but he says the price of electricity and oil have skyrocketed, more than tripled, and is not good for many people. This is a dangerous winter. We typically get a lot of snow in March so I am praying I won't be complaining about it next month!
Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
For those of you experiencing warm weather, here is a look at our winter wonderland. Temps to be in the 30's stalled at 26. It was sunny with no perceptible breeze.
DD and DSIL stopped by with some goodies and to pick up some goodies I had for them.
DB to start painting tomorrow. Yeah, I really would like to dismantle the 2 rooms of doom as soon as he is done.
Hope everyone had a great day and waving "hi" to everyone. Olympics have my attention for the moment.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

@mara51506 Isn't it amazing how you can click a button to order and it's already on the way! You wonder how we survived before these amenities. I like the convenience and also use it but still enjoy some in person shopping when the weather is nicer. Looking forward to breaking through freezing here also before we know it will all be behind us we'll be complaining of the heat. lol
@runor Hey there it's nice to see ya,glad you popped in! Sorry to hear about your family's struggles with CMT .

Re: STEAM ROOM FOR ANGER
You are valid to have those feelings. Do what is best for you and your peace of mind. I've been there in this situation and it took me dealing with cancer to say I've had enough of the bs people were demanding of me. I finally drew boundaries and forced those that didn't feel I needed them or accept the boundaries to see I wasn't going to play their games no more.

Re: Post unilateral mastectomy - recovery
I had a unilateral mastectomy with aesthetic flat closure. I started rehab after 4 weeks. I stayed on top of my OT exercises, and was back to full range of motion and cleared to return to work as a massage therapist after 8 weeks.
Listen to your body to see how you're doing. If you get tired, stop. Don't try to knock out "just one more thing".
Re: Am I being under-treated?
Hi @amerli— it’s great that your treatment plan was reviewed by the full breast cancer team. That kind of multidisciplinary review is common at large cancer centers and is definitely reassuring!
And like what @maggie15 said, and was echoed by @vlhvlh, this would be considered a team review, not a formal second opinion, which usually involves an independent doctor or care team outside the original group. IF a separate second opinion would give you more peace of mind, it’s reasonable to ask about that as well. If you feel comfortable with where they have landed, then you can skip until a later date. Sending you hugs!!
