All about Xeloda

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…

Representing Flat Closure at Cancer Walks
I hosted a booth at our recent Making Strides walk boosting visibility for aesthetic flat closure. We had at least 6 flatties attending, five of us were openly flat, and three of us were showing our scars.

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…

My Husband, My Life, My Love, My Family, My Cancer
As I go through this forced path I have been thrown down, I have come to realize the love I have always had for my husband was strong. He is amazing and I love him with my very soul and entire heart. 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…

So...whats for dinner?

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…

Aromatase inhibitors are well known to dampen our libido, which can also add to our frustrations and strain relationships. Well,…
