I have just had a review with my onc and mammo and ultrasound are clear. I read the report which shows a benign calcification... apparently it has been there a while and I didn't even know. The onc stressed the benign so nothing to worry about... right? Haha, I worry about everything but I am really...

This is all very exciting for you Christine. When does the "big" move happen?

I will hope for some positive news for you.

I wish all your news was good. Congrats on the bus driving.

Best wishes for your birthday Sashiko.

What lovely names for a lovely big boy. Congratulations to you all. Being a grandparent is an amazing experience.

I decided at age 15 that it was very embarrassing to be seen with my mother (the sweetest woman on the planet BTW). Mum did not have her licence at that time so caught buses everywhere. This was cool when you were with your friends but not your mother! I remember saying to her one day when we had to...

Thanks, it worked that time. It is good that there is research happening to improve outcomes that have an impact on post operative recovery and possible implications of surgery, such as lymphoedema.

The link is not working for me????????????

Thanks for the responses and the links.

Probably time to ask my onc for his latest thinking when I see him in a few weeks. He is well on top of things with clinical trials and I trust his judgement, as I have for the last seven years.
