Underwire bra
Hi ladies When can you go back to wearing underwire bras? I am 22F although I found a post surgery bra, I can't wait to get out of it. My surgery involved a lumpectomy to the front of the breast.

Henna tattoo and eventually tattoo eyebrows
hi ladies has anyone had a henna tattoo done on their eyebrows during chemo? I understand with regular eyebrow tattooing there must be a wait after chemo and radiation before this can be done? Does anyone have any experience with this?? Thanks in advance. - Carly

Time out

We all know we need time out in order to get through this roller coaster but the everyday still has to be taken care of Time to go and head out into the sunshine Take…

Sort of Began Radiotherapy...
I walked in to radiation oncology and tapped on at the self check-in. I'd been told to wait in a special room for my first session so I shuffled down the hall away from the main rooms and started a puzzle. 20 minutes pass. Gosh, they sure are running late here today.
