So...whats for dinner?
I thought it might be fun to start a thread on what we are having, making or had for dinner. Sometimes it is the best tuna steak you ever had, sometimes it's a can of soup. But we all do it every night in some form or another. Maybe we can give each other ideas on what to make, or bitch about what we had, or the fact that…

Life does not end with a stage IV diagnosis (really!)
Our sister, kayrnic, started a thread celebrating being 2 years (hooray!) out from her stage IV dx. I was thinking along those same lines when I read her post. So often, those newly dx'ed stage IV, think they've been handed an immediate death sentence and panic or plunge into some very dark places. This is understandable,…

Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
I am an "older" woman with breast cancer (I was diagnosed at 65 and am now 66). I notice that most of the posts seem to be from people younger than I am (often by quite a bit...). I'd love to "talk" with others my age, exchange info about their diagnoses, effects on their lives, etc. I see that there is a forum for young…

All about Xeloda
I will complete my first cycle of Xeloda today (2 weeks on; one week off). I have already noticed some signs of HFS on my feet. Sometimes they are red and feel hot. I've had some minor skin peeling, but not any blistering. The heels are the worst (the most sensitive) and it is uncomfortable to walk. I hope I get to see the…

Cats, cats, cats
a thread for crazy cat ladies! I thought maybe just pics of your own cats, and if there's not enough then just any old cat you can find! I have 8. Technically only 5 are mine, the others think they live here. Mostly because I feed them with everybody else and they never seem to leave!

The Weight of Constant Vigilance in Caregiving
The hardest part of caregiving for me was the constant vigilance and helplessness. Loving someone so deeply while watching their body fail, knowing you can’t fix it, changes you in ways that are hard to explain unless you’ve lived it. With Stage IV disease, I felt like I had to stay alert at all times — listening to…

Well here I am again…
After 10 years, here I am again. I meet with my oncologist and surgeon soon. Still waiting on HER Fish results. Will be going for an MRI soon. I figure I’m facing mastectomy as I had lumpectomy/radiation the first go round. It’s in same breast.

My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer

Never would I ever imagine the thought of dying and him being alone. Then the worst part hit me!! I can't seem to shake the…

Early stage lymphedema???
I’m starting PT after lumpectomy and radiation. I had cording, breast swelling and some pitting in my skin BEFORE radiation, and all of that has continued with increased nerve compression. I’m sure there is fibrosis occurring as well. I have no swelling in my arm yet. My PT has advised I wear a compression bra daily and…
