Argh. I am a 7 yr survivor. I just went in for an ultrasound...not for cancer as my mammo was recent and fine...but to make sure my implants were in tact. The doctor, not my regular one, rather the one who works in imaging, said that with implants, women should get MRIs as they can't rely on mammos. WTF! All these years I think I am fine and they then tell me that a mammo isn't reliable. And, knowing me, I will start worrying. I don't worry much about it until I am waiting for my mammo results...now I am friggin' worried and don't know what self-talk to use to stop it.

Hi, I have heard of this before. Do you go in and have cancer markers checked? My husband who had a masectomy in 95 had his cancer markers checked every 3 months. 4 years ago last October they came back elevated for cancer.His Oncologist told him most Oncologist after masetomies do not do cancer marker rechecks. At first doc thought it could be a screw up with the clinic that did the test, but no it was correct.Husband is on the downside and the prognoses is not good. He has had chemo and radiation the last 4 plus years. Please do the cancer markers, this is a fool proof way of checking on your health. Good luck!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
