My warrior sisters... If you have had bilateral suckers or more than stage 1 (hormone status is not relevant) and done w the usual treatments including optional hysterectomy or ovary removal, would you get the vaccine? Simple yes or no is appreciated. No additional info or explanation is requested. P.S. this survey is…
I am be wrong, but I thought MAYBE we needed a place for newly dx stage III people to post their concerns, fears, questions or simple to say "Hi I am joining the group"! I know we have so many wise, caring, gracious stage III sisters and men that would be willing to welcome newbies as well as comfort, answer questions and…
Anyone been treated at MD Anderson? Can you pls provide reviews and insight? Been reading online opinions and they are being trashed constantly. Yet they are supposed to be the preeminent cancer hospital. What gives? im thinking of transferring my care there and have just started the paperwork for initial consultations…
I’m about six years cancer free. I had a bilateral mastectomy with 14 cancerous nodes, rads and chemo, and my onc recommended I continue hormone therapy for another four years for a total of 10. I’ve switched back and forth between letrozole, exemestane and tamoxifen due to side fx. I lasted almost 4 years on tam but last…

I smell cigarette smoke constantly! No one is smoking and no one around me smells it. It's driving me crazy. I had 4 rounds of TAC last year, a bmx, 4 rounds of Abraxane earlier this year, 35 rounds of radiation over the summer and just had an ooph on Tuesday. Did one of these things cause my sense of smell to go haywire?…

I remember that Friday as if it were yesterday - and yet it still feels as if it happened to a different person. This year, instead of waiting for my husband to get home from work so I could collapse into his arms with the…
I've been on Femara since July 2012. Ten years last month. I would love to be done with this drug--I can't sleep well, I can't lose weight, I get UTIs every time I ride my bike. My bones have suffered a bit but I'm on a bisphosphonate and it's helping. Femara is my mental safety net. I'm afraid to stop. There's not a lot…
