Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea if we set up an arty/crafty types group for everyone to share inspiration and ideas,…

The Big Bang!!
Isn’t it funny when you least expect it…Bang! Your hit with the news you have breast cancer. I was 36 years old at the time when I was told I had inflammatory breast cancer.

End chemo round 1
As I prepare for chemo round 2 tomorrow I am feeling 90% normal. Because of my sensitivity to steroids (unknown prior to treatment) I couldnt feel anything from the inside out and it was scary.

Life insurane after BC
Has anyone been able to get life insurance since having Breast Cancer? I have been told that once my "treatment" is over it will be 2 years after that before I'll be able to get life insurane. Is that after the 5 years on Tamoxifin or after the radium/chemo? Anyone with info would be greatly appreciated.
