It's Metastatic

Sometime in 1999, my brother and I went to my parent's house for dinner.  At this point, my brother was actually living in Los Angeles, but must have been home on a vacation.   I don't remember exactly what my parents said before dinner, but I know they did give us notice that they had some news to share.  So we talked, had... Read moreChevron

Is Tykerb for You? Reading Research to Make Medical Decisions

I'm Scared, But in the Fight Again

I saw the Onc yesterday and got the results to my petscan. Cancer has spread to my lungs, liver and bones. It's so hard to have faith after hearing that. But I will try because I want to be here for my children more than anything. Any advice or any websites I should go to, please let me know.

Fear: Strictly Optional

I’m a breast cancer survivor. Have been, for 7 years now. I walked out of the hospital after my final radiation treatment on Feb. 14, 2002, and my cancer hasn’t reappeared. No telling if it will; in general terms, a woman with my diagnosis isn’t considered “cured” till she’s been cancer-free for 20 years. But if... Read moreChevron
