breast obsession
I find I am constantly looking at women's cleavage and feeling angry. If there wasn't such an obession with having big breasts then the implants would come in smaller sizes and I would not have to have a second operation. I just want this all to be over so I can go back to my life. But all the things say you don't "go…

Fed up!
Well ladies, I would bang my head against the wall, but the wall would probably break. I am set for my next Chemo on Wednesday - and my oncologist wants me to start Herceptin. The thing is, I had heart surgery as a child - so they did an ultrasound on the heart - the results were heart function of 45% - it has to be at…

Day 3 after 1st chemo
About 6 hours after my first chemo I felt completely disconnected from my body. I was most anxious - I did not like the feeling at all. I sat to do one of my guided meditations with my ipod I fell asleep and felt quite refreshed when I awoke. The first night about 10 hours after the chemo the nausea was kicking in, lucky I…

Help I'm desperate

She had a papaloma removed from behind her nipple and they found cancer in what they cut out despite having done the biopsy That merely amplified her mistrust of the medical profession because prior to that, having gone to a…

Chemo
Hi Ladies, it has been one week since my first Chemo - I have come through pretty well all things considered. The only thing I seem to suffer is a constant big fat belly-ache. I have been fairly well otherwise. Got some stitches out yesterday (a walk in the park!). Looking forward to the Easter break - YAY! no doctors,…

Chemo Update
Hi girls, Had my first cycle of TAC yesterday and so far so good. We were there for about 6 hrs as the first treatment can often take longer, plus I am part of a clinical trial so they need to take urine, more bloods and give me an injection of the drug after chemo. Anyway...so far...no vomiting or nausea, so hopefully…

Right hand also very…
