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"…

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…

Hi, I'm a 29 y/o female. I'm resuming my 2nd cycle of oral chemo (CCNU/Gleostine) this week. I started in Sept. but my counts dropped to an unsafe level.

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…

Foggy stuff in lungs
Has anyone had a CT scan and it came back with "small ground glass opacities"? If so what is your experience with it? Also, a false alarm sent me into a spin - HU blood test came back with "small cell carcinoma in lungs". Before my onco doc saw the confirmation HU test negated the first one (I don't have it) the CT scan…
