Re: Striking a Major Nerve

I thought political views were not allowed here.
Seems some people get away with it without so much as a wrist slap, yet I was made to feel bad when I posted my good NED news. Go figure.

Re: How did you discover your cancer?

Re: How many of you have had a bone scan?

I had 2 in the last 3 years. First one was to correlate findings on pet/ct (which turned out to be false positives) and second was follow up.

Re: Trt stopped, & now a wheelchair & walker...

Can you at least do the Herceptin and still do surgery?

Personally, if it were me, I'd do the chemo first.

Re: Follow up guidelines...

My SIL was dx'ed with IDC about 10 years ago, and she saw her medical Onc once a year for a scan. Good thing, because they found DCIS in the other breast 2 years ago.

Re: Follow up guidelines...

I'm with you on the cost thing.
I quit seeing my surgeon after the staples were removed. I quit seeing my rad onc a year after finishing rads. I was seeing my old onc every 6 months, but my new...

Re: Cancer won't wait--by Lance Armstrong

Re: Breast cancer treatment, novel H1N1 2009 pandemic, and risk

I asked my onc about the h1n1 shot and she was pretty middle of the road about whether I should get it or not.

Re: Insurance Company Does Not Want to approve TYKERB

I think you should get very vocal and contact some news media outlets. Now is a very sensitive time for them to be denying treatment. I'd take full advantage of that.

Re: Good Advice?
