I met a woman in her early 90s who had terrible lymphedema in her right arm.
I asked her if it was from a mastectomy, and she said yes, but she'd had the
mastectomy *45* years ago (!) and only developed the lymphedema *3* years

Thanks for the welcome in previous posts. Just an update, I met
oncologist on Thursday and will be having 6 sessions of FEC 100
starting tomorrow (Monday 7th) and every three weeks after that. I'm
freaking out more about this than the surgery etc. My hair will fall

Well I had my first treatment yesterday and so far so good. I'm out and
about doing my yoga thing and also went for a run which was great. On
the wig front I really only want something for the few social events
coming up where I won't want to face a lot of looks from people I don't

Still not sure what's going on. The tumor committee (includes a liver
specialist) has decided that the "ill defined" thingie in my liver is
probably benign. It would be major surgery to biopsy it and at this time it
is not recommended (I am  75).

I had posted earlier about my cousins wife (37) who was just diagnosed
and was to start treatment with Taxol and carboplatin, along with
Herceptin.
She had her first chemo last Tuesday; and within a couple of days she

This is just an excerpt of the Charter page. So I'm just posting a bit of

Then there's a link there to the index and the full FAQ.
The last section of the FAQ's pages, has help as to "munging".

Don't know if anyone remembers me or not. I have lurked ever since last year
when I had a little scare.. my ob/gyn found a "little lump" in my right
breast and sent me for an ultrasound and possible biopsy. I managed to dodge
that bullet and was thankful.

I had a lumpectomy last December, and am grateful that it was not cancer.

I am to go back mid December for another ultrasound.

Got my tests results back today. No cancer, still not 100% sure WHAT the
lump is but it's not cancer. The material was "too fibrous"(sp?) to get any
cells but the doc is quite sure no cancer is present and it's most likely
the papiloma the surgeon said.. I'm going back to the ...
