The NBC affiliate in Houston did a great IBC story last night. Click on the top right corner of this page, the story is called, "Aggressive Cancer is Silently Killing Women".

Important topic but is this Timeshare information?

NO!
That's why I posted it in "Fern's Cafe". The purpose is:
This is a place where you can share your family's life with us, the triumphs and problems. Our circle of friends is so varied here that somebody probably has "been there" and can help. So post your Happy Birthdays, achievements, honors, troubles, or problems here.

Kathy,
I've been reading some of your blog over the last few months - my thoughts are with you.

I can't seem to find the link you are referring to in this thread. (??)

I vaguely remember hearing about these symptoms in nursing school 10 years ago. We were told about the symptoms when we had to do breast exams on each other, but were never told that they related to a differant kind of cancer.

Thanks for the update, I don't routinely do breast exams on patients anymore, but I do them on myself.

Kathy,

Thanks for posting the information. I admire your courage in your fight.

Also, just wanted you to know that that poster is not me.
