Changing Course
I recently learned that a friend's mother apparently has small cell lung cancer. She (the mother) is in the middle of chemotherapy now, so I don't want to rock the boat too much. My friend has told me she is not all that sure about the oncologist and really wants her mother to get a second opinion or find a new oncologist.…

On Thursday of last week my husband got his first dose of the vaccine. On Monday I had my annual breast MRI and found out today that the results are all good. What are you…

Want to Cry (Happy)
I just called the place that fitted me from my breast prosthesis/form to find out who I pay for my cost share of what remained after insurance paid. I found out they just wrote off my patient cost share and the order has been put in. I had been waiting to get my EOB to find out my cost share and with terrible mail here, I…

I've made a concerted effort to log in everyday to read the latest. I comment when I feel it is appropriate to do so. But I was wondering if we still had Colby as a Moderator. I don't remember seeing anything since his introduction but perhaps I overlooked a post(s). For those of you that pray, I'd appreciate a few for my…

To lighten your mood on a cold winter day!
Need a chuckle? Every now and then I look for things to lighten my mood. Here are a few Life’s Truths for Mature Adults. • I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to take a nap when I was younger! • Was learning cursive really necessary? • Google Maps really needs to start their directions on #5. I’m pretty sure…

UPDATE #4 (?)
I've lost count. @Carool You have a good memory. I did go to my own Pulmonologist as scheduled. She said she recommends a minimally invasive procedure called an EBUS. It's a new procedure, first done about 10 years. She said that at that time she had an established practice and didn't want to lose the time from the…

I HAVE versus I AM
We all live with our diagnoses day in and day out. I can see how that diagnosis becomes part of the every day speech in our life. For some, the reminders are more ever present than for others. I have been noticing the tendency, over the past few days, to state "I am TNBC" or "I am ...." rather than "My diagnosis is TNBC"…

3rd UPDATE
When I last left off, my lung biopsy was xcld the day before because of the collapse risk. But my Oncologist when called by the Interventional Radiologist that was scheduled to do it, arranged for a Consult with a Dr. of Thoracic Surgery about an hour from me. It was only a week's notice which can be a problem when the…

Lymphedema?
I am curious about lymphedema? Here are things I would like to know: 1 - If you have it, what were your early symptoms? 2 - Can it be prevented? Are there exercises that can help? 3 - Does a compression sleeve help? If so, where do you get one? I have had lymph nodes removed and am therefore curious about this possible…

Being THAT person

Gone Too Young
I just found out one of my friends from grade school lost his son to brain cancer in early December. My heart breaks for my friends that they lost their son, but after reading his obituary, it is clear that he squeezed every minute out of his life and that he had the same love of life as his parents. We all knew each other…

Renal Cell Carcinoma
UPDATE - Yesterday was not a good day. I was getting ready to go to my Podiatrist when I received a call from the hospital where my lung biopsy was to have been done today. The nurse said that the Interventional Radiologist who was to handle the biopsy took another look at the CT and PET scan. Since the area in question…

Asking for a friend
A good friend was diagnosed recently with invasive lobular cancer. The treatment they came up with is MRI to see if it spread to lymphs, removal of cancer, chemo, rads. She is stage 1A, the size is 5mm. This seems like overkill; what do you all think?

I'm baackkk!!!
I guess I'm guilty of taking a leave of absence from the group. I've logged on several times to see what was going on but didn't comment at all. I think this pandemic has finally gotten to me. I have no idea why as when there was no pandemic, I didn't go out very much. I guess just knowing that I can't is what upsets me.…
