A question and a suggestion

curveball

The question: is there any way to include my Oncotype test results under "my diagnosis" or "my treatments"? If not I'd like to request that this ability be added on a future forum upgrade. Or maybe just the ability to add a public note to My Diagnosis/Treatment.

The suggestion: currently, if I select tumor size of 1-1.9 cm, the screen display of "My diagnosis" shows a tumor size of 1 cm, which in my case is off by nearly half (my tumor was 1.5 x 1.6 x 1.8 cm). Can you change the screen display so selecting 1-1.9 cm displays as either "1.0-1.9 cm" or as "<2 cm"? I think that would more accurately tell the reader what size the tumor really was. 

thx

Good idea to add oncotype scores. 

Is there a way also to automatically add "Cold Cap user" to our signature? Perhaps a box to check could be added under the types of chemo in profiles? That way other women might see the term as we post in various forums and become aware of them. I have discovered that I can add it by editing a post I have already put up, but it would be better to have it come up as a part of the signature.

I was able to keep my hair by using cold caps, so I know they work. Unfortunately, so few women have heard about them, or find out in time to look into them and make the decision whether to use them or not.

The more ways to get the word out that there is a choice to be made, and it is possible to keep hair, the better.

Thanks.

Hortense, yes you can add more information to your signature and have it appear automatically (as many members do with meaningful quotes). Go to My Profile, then the Settings tab, and scroll down to Signature near the bottom. Click the Edit link, and add your info there.
