Tamixofen Users - Don't Take Antidepressants, Too!!!!
Many women take Tamixofen, which cuts in half the chances of their estrogen-positive breast cancer from coming back. Because hormone pills are a no-no for such situations, antidepressants have been prescribed in the past to help fight hot flashes. As...
Chemo & Nerve Damage (Neuropathy)
One of the side effects of the some chemo drugs is nerve damage (neuropathy). Most of the time neuropathy affects the hands/arms and feet/legs but it can strike anywhere. I have it in my right big toe (strange, but true!) and a new friend of mine who...

How To Do A Breast Self Exam
The best time to do a self-exam is when the breasts are not tender or swollen, so avoid "that time of the month." Most experts suggest checking your own breasts once a month but every weekend is better. You need to get to know what's "normal" for you...

I found myself shedding tears over this blog. I think it's important to express that you just want to be you again. The you before the breast cancer. You are inspirational though you may not want to be. You're expressing what you are going through and it will help someone weather it be emotionally or to get the idea that you should be checked.

Dear Lizzy... I sent you a response to your generous comments re: my blog. I hope you received it because your support is very much appreciated, even though I am not a poet, only a former NYC editor and literary agent hoping to get back to the writing side of the desk. The blog has been a way of beginning to do that... Feel free to communicate by email at aorrtalk@comcast.net... Best wishes and thanks from a former noreaster. Alice

I wish this lady could be a friend in person as well as via this medium. I would invite her over for coffee, tea, whatever asap. Her blog "Cancer Is A Bitch" certainly tells it straight, starting with that right on title. She has the kind of spirit we all need to beat this bitch back where she belongs.
Hi everyone,
My name is Emily Ward and I work with the Canadian Cancer Society. I came across this blog as I was looking for ways to share information about our new campaign and launch event.
We have created a new movement called 'Join the Fight!' It is about personifying cancer for what it really is.
On September 29th, we will be hosting a launch event in Toronto where people will be able to come together to symbolically eradicate cancer by throwing paint balloons at a large "cancer" wall.
I hope you will check out our site and share your story with cancer. Even if you can't attend the event, your experience will certainly inspire others to participate.
The link below will direct you to our event listing: http://tinyurl.com/qbrd6s
More information about our campaign can also be found at www.fightback.ca
Thanks everyone!
Emily
