her spine (backbone). Not really serious. Sometimes she ...

A quick review:  I was diagnosed with Stage IIIA bc in Oct., 2000.  Had both
chemo & radiation, and started on Tamoxifen in Sept. 2001.  My hair started
to thin and I had other bad side effects, so last May I switched to Femara.
I thought my problems would be over.  Wrong!  Now ...

This morning, I noticed that a small black mole has popped up suddenly,
on the inner & upper area of my thigh.
At first, I thought it might be an odd-looking tick or something, but

5 days.  Spares trauma to rest of breast and much less ...

anyone out there please tell me about your experience.

Hello Group,
Does everyone that takes chemo lose their hair?
Also, how long after you start chemo does it start falling out?
Thanks!

My wife, Ann (age 57), has been battling breast cancer for over 12 years
now.  During the last 6 years the disease metastasized in her bones, and
she's taken every chemo known to oncology.  She responded to many of them,
but eventually became resistant.  Now, the only option ...

My wife turned 32. Her mother died of lymphoma (sp) at age 43 10 years
ago. Her  grandmother had breast cancer at age of 50. So we don't know
if her mother would have gotten breast cancer or not.
My question, what age should my wife get mamograms? I'm pushing that

I have a strong theory that Electrical Shock Injury causes Breast Cancer.
Not everyday static shock but industrial strength electrical injury.
Anyone else like to comment on this somewhat
controversial area?

Can anyone recommend me a good book to get to read up on breast cancer? Thanks!

Thanks once again for all your earlier advice.
My mom was given radiation on Friday to the lower back; and took her
first dosage of chemo (Taxotere and xeloda) on Wednesday. Since Friday
night, she has been complaining of severe stomach pain; and a burning
