A Bit Saddened
I have to admit, I am a bit saddened that there is so little activity in this group - especially with it being October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month....

Lumpectomy Procedure
******I have been home now since 10:30 yesterday morning. I am feeling VERY sore, but I have a lot of pain medication. I have a nice 'nest' set up with my cozy p.j.'s, lots of blankets and my laptop and my dressing changing materials. So, I am not sure if it is the pain medicine making me so emotional or just the whole ordeal and that it is finally over. In any case, I wanted to share some of this important information with all of you. I may not be on very much today - very sleepy. But, with the pain meds, I may be up to it. It helps to keep my mind busy. I wanted to share this information as I never thought "It could happen to me" and I believe most women think that way, and I want to show that with a positive mind and emotional support and INFORMATION you CAN get through this.
Learn what to expect during a lumpectomy, and how to care for yourself during recovery. Be prepared to deal with health insurance, anesthesia, surgical dressings and drains. Learn some tips for self-care during recovery from your lumpectomy.
10 to do's for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Update: Sorry I failed to mention...
That last month my sister finally had her mastectomy! YEAH!!!!!! She easily made it through the surgery.Tea Research Update
World Tea News reported a study indicating that tea drinking may decrease the risk of breast cancer. The study, conducted at the Moffitt Cancer Center, was published in Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. The research team observed that participants who consumed three or more cups of tea per day had a "37 percent reduced breast cancer risk when compared with women reporting no tea consumption."My first official Mammogram - easy as pie!
OK, today I had my first official mammogram and I wonder what all the fuss is about. It was simple and took only 10 minutes once I was topless. And it was absolutely painless.It is so much worse than anyone thought it was
Regarding my sister and her breast cancer. The whole situation is far worse than we ever thought. Far worse than the doctors thought or told my sister her cancer was.Is this weird or not?
Before my sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer my dad's youngest sister died of Breast Cancer. She died one week before my sister's regularly schedule pap and mammo. My sister found out she had breast cancer two weeks after my aunt died.How do I help my sister?
My sister was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductile Breast Cancer approximately two weeks ago (it seems like a blur so I cannot remember the exact date she called up and she she had just found out). She just found out she has Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which means a long course of chemotherapy with treatments of radiation. What I need to know is how do I help (or organize/resolve) the practical day to day and monthly issues that a homeowner and head of household has to deal with?Top Brands
