Breast Cancer/OT
EIC (extensive intraductal component) means it will reoccur in the breast
again if I even opted for a lumpectomy . Removing the breast was the best option being cancer was on all the margins of the removed pathology, That was a cute story!! My SIL once destroyed her hair coloring it while dating my brother. They went to an amusement park. She wore a wig.....and wigs and roller coasters don't get along....unless you have that wig stapled to your scalp!! The WIG ended up in the guy's face behind her. He handed it to her after the ride!! My SIL is in heaven but she loved to tell that story!! Yes...I can be a spunky thing...I told my husband I want a multi-colored clown wig!! I would love to met him for lunch and be wearing that wig!! I think I would also opt for the pny tail cap. I also said I loved Peg on married with children...that long red wig...and the foot motion....gotta love it...and most of all...my DH's name is AL....hehehehe!! Okay you made me smile :-) Pami |

Last year I had a lumpectomy in the other breast and that was benign this year my luck ran out. I see and hear of so many survivors and I know this group has always been here for me when ever I needed them. Pami Wishing you good luck with your treatment and hoping that you are always surrounded by family and friends who support and love you. You are strong enough to beat anything when you have loving and caring people around you. Give yourself time to heal both physically and mentally and don't ever feel rushed to "move on" unless you are ready for it. Best wishes Alison in Canberra. |

I just went to their website. I had been told that they don't take
color treated hair, but that is not true. I was going to cut my hair is a shortish do after I lost a total of 20 lbs, but I have only another 2 inches to grow my hair to donate, so I think I'll set my goal at 30 lbs instead.

They make wigs for children with cancer. They do have a website, if you are really interested in cutting off your hair, but they do require a minimum of 10" to work with so there's enough to weave and style. Maybe there's a place like that in Oz, and if not, I'm sure the LoL people wouldn't mind Aussie hair! http://www.locksoflove.org is their web address.

((((hugs))))
A friend here has just finished chemo. It was rough but she got through it, one day at a time. She made a point of continuing to do as much as she could. In return, we all praised her courage and rallied round to help. Women have a special feeling for their hair -but go wig shopping before the chemo starts. You can get one that exactly matches your color. Might be a chance to try a completely new style. Life isn't fair, but that's what friends are for. Roberta in D "pami" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Hugs, Pami. DD and I will be doing the Race for the Cure on Mother's
Day; it has become an annual event for us. I'll be wearing my pink "survivor" shirt and thinking of you and all the other breast cancer survivors that I know and also a few who didn't make it. I hope you will be in that survivor category for a long time. Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

I actually have one friend who feels I should do NOTHING and let death happen. I am a mom, wife and friend to many. My life isn't over yet. I think I need to avoid friends in my life like that now. I actually feed her cats when she goes on vacation. Nobody knows what they would do until you receive.... lose a breast or die. Pami Holy cow. What nerve! There is *nothing* wrong with deciding to live! Some people just can't figure out when something isn't their decision to make. Definitely AVOID people like her.

Do you know what EIC is? I don't. Good luck w/ your surgery. Mom's
experience was that there wasn't much pain at all, if that helps Hopefully yours will be the same. L "pami" wrote in message ... I could never afford that test and Medicare would never cover it The EIC found in the pathlogy report states cancer woud reoccur. This will be a long week for me. Pami |
