Eggs It‘s been 14 years for me-how about you? @EadieB 4y
EadieB @Eggs 1992 - 28 years. ‘92 was a bad year for me. I had a lumpectomy in April. Radiation thru the summer and a hysterectomy in September. (edited) 4y
Eggs Wow-I‘ll say!! ☹️😝 Menopause was a killer for me. In 2006-2009, 6 surgeries, 6 mos chemo, 4 mos rads. 4y
EadieB @Eggs That does not sound like a fun couple of years. Glad you made it through all that! Hysterectomy threw my body right into menopause. Hot flashes are not fun. We would constantly fight over the thermometer as my husband lived in a cold-water flat in Newark NJ as a kid and hates to be cold. 4y

My mom called today, completely delighted to have been told that she needs both knees replaced. She had worried the terrible knee pain meant her breast cancer (she‘s two years out of treatment) had metastasized to her bones. Buying this book donated to Breast Cancer Care so I thought it was an appropriate time to read it. Also, get your mammogram and stay on top of your breast health!

ravenlee Woohoo! I‘m so happy for your mom. What a relief! And I second the breast health message. I had my first mammo last year, at age 36 (my mom was diagnosed at age 44). The radiologist, when all was said and done, told me I was good for five years. My gyn sent me again this year, and there have been changes that warrant seeing a specialist. Fingers crossed for a clean report at the follow-up. Be vigilant! 6y
BookNAround @ravenlee I‘m crossing my fingers for a clear report for you too!💕 6y
