Where are you now?
I'm MBC, but diagnosis is all screwed up. 😠 Where has everyone gone? I mean this...have you found another community forum to get info from others in same diagnosis/treatment. There is nothing much here anymore except complaints or funnies, lost the good advice and experiences.

Lobular Oncologists in the Dallas Area
Hi there, First time posting but been lurking for the past 5 years since my diagnosis. We are moving to the Dallas area (East of Dallas) and looking for an oncologist or a clinic for my lifetime treatment. MD Anderson doesn't have any location in Dallas, odd. And they don't have any referral to a cancer center either. And…

Determining progression
Hello, hope you would response to this question: when does your oncologist decide the cancer has progressed from current regimen? 1- A definitive trend in rising tumour's marker such as Ca27.29 or Ca15-3.

Solid Lung Nodules
Hi Ladies, I hope you are all doing well. It's been a long time since I've posted anything so I hope you forgive my absence. At my catscan in October they found several small 2-3 mm lung nodules. My oncologist said not to worry as they were most likely nothing. I had my next 6-month scan just last week and they found…

"I Could Get Hit By A Bus" Comments
It still amazes me how people are insensitive when you tell them that your cancer is terminal and cannot be cured. After all these years, I still have acquaintances say to me "We all never know when we will die." "I could get hit by a bus tomorrow". Usually the person goes on their merry way, and I am still left with no…

Let’s gripe!
It’s been one of those days and I’m in the “this stage iv stuff sucks” frame of mind. I’m tired of all of the bloodwork; I’m tired of the monthly Zoladex shots; I’m tired of the constant fatigue; I’m tired of living in 6-month segments in between scans; I’m sick and tired of worrying that while I feel good now, when is it…
