Oh No | Just Diagnosed
Shock and shaky for a day or so until it sunk in. Made appt. with the surgeon immediately. My mom had the exact same cancer in her 50s and didn't survive past the chemo. Scared to death!

What is up?
So, is WhatNext dead? I am all in favor of "letting life happen" but it seems that is ALL that is on this site anymore. Feel really bad for newly diagnosed looking for answers or support. They will not find either here.

What's up with the spam and ads?
Who is a moderator on WN? Colby or Dave can you have this stopped? I was helping when my brother in law Greg Pierce was living. I've tried to get to the comments as moderator to report them but it doesn't show them. Each of them shows in my email and is junking it up. Looks like the site is pretty much running itself…

Uh-oh
Oh dear. I trust I am not the only person to open her email and discover TWENTY SIX What Next notices? All of them appearing to be some sort of drug scam posted under a thread that is over a year old (about Greg, no less!) Obviously, we are not being monitored? I am so disappointed.

Side Effects changes?
I know most of us get some (or many) side effects from drugs we need to take, but I am wondering if anyone has experienced their side effects changing or going away? I have been taking anastrozole for over two years now and at first I didn't notice any problems. Then I began to awake with some stiffness in my joints, but…

Does a lumpectomy *fill in?*
I had my lumpectomy in January of 2019. As a result my left breast was smaller and had a kind of whithered appearance, especially on the side close to my arm because I had some lymph nodes removed too. I have three scars in that area, one under my arm pit. Lately I have noticed my breast seems to have *filled in.* It is…

Decision Point | Do I get radiation therapy?
I am trying to decide if I need to get radiation therapy. After surgery, the surgeon felt confident I would not need chemo, and probably not radiation, given the risk/benefit ratio. The radiation oncologist said that according to the "standard of care" I would need 30 radiation treatments because the cancer was in more…
