    phebe: I am glad you enjoyed your trip with your grandkids. 

    I think I am staying home for a while not untill I feel back to myself again. 

    I called my RO today because I am having quite a bit of internal soreness, swelling and inflammation along my trachea and lungs. It feels like something heavy is pressing on it.

    I am 6 weeks PFR and still having a lot of SE like fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness and shoulder muscle pain. The rads skin looks and feels a lot better, but as I mentioned it's the internal soreness that bothers me now more.

    Here is my weekly hair growth and radiated skin update ar 6 weeks PFR and 14 weeks PCF. My hubby's latest comment about my hair was that I need to start combing it! Lol

    Anyone here anymore?

    Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Hope all are well and moving forward with life. I have lost a couple friends I met due to this awful beast called cancer. Also had a couple mentors progress. Guess I am just looking for someone to talk to that knows how I feel.

    TY

    Hi Northwinds I was just recently thinking about you and how you Interferon treatment went. I have had 4 people I knew that were diagnosed after me pass as well from different cancers. It's very hard not to get discouraged when something like that happens. A few of us are on Facebook in a small group if you would like to join us. Hugs!

    Hey Northwinds! I've thought of you often and wondered how you were doing. As inks said, you should definitely join our Facebook group. But, we're still here--somewhat--as well, and yeah, we do know how you feel.You can send a private message to smrlvr and she can help you get into the FB group, also.

    Northwinds! It's so good hear from you! I too hope you'll join us over on FB...we'll get you all caught up in no time, and we want to be there for you too.

    I tried to find info on Paulette a while back. She was going through so many other things in addition to all that we had in common, and she was just so dang positive all the time.

    Thanks for the kind words, kimie06! I'm doing well -- aches, and pains here and there, but better than the alternative! This four week period marks two years since I was diagnosed and began treatment...WOW! LIfe has gone on, and mine is better in a lot of ways than it was before BC. I am grateful on an hourly basis for the friendships and support I found here. These women are my lifeline. I hope your group is thriving as well!

    It's a closed and secret group, so I think that sending a PM to smrlvr is the only way to get in.

    There is a FB group? I can't find them. I'm doing okay. Ran my 2nd half marathon this year, my first year from treatments 2015! I have a stress fracture again. I wonder if its from chemo treatments.

    FairyDogMother, you won't be able to find the Facebook group because it is a secret group and so doesn't show up in any searches or directories. If you'll send a private message to smrlvr though, she can add you to the group.

    Stress fracture sounds like it hurts. We were actually discussing in the FB group the issue of bone density and how the AI drugs we are on can affect it. Have you had a bone density scan?
