My operations for the Rheumatoid Arthritis has been put on hold because of the amount of surgeries and treatments I am receiving for the cancer. Just want to say Hi!

You don't have to be strong in here. A good place to put your feelings out. Noone here judges, we are all just trying to deal with the cards life has dealt us the best we can. Some days are better than others. I am sure I don't have to tell you to hold on tight to those you love. Make every minute of every day and memory made count.

Hi Looking4,

I just wanted to introduce myself since I am a cancer survivor (Leukemia). Sometimes we have to prioritize stuff and cancer is indeed a priority over RA. I also wound up with Hep C from blood transfusions I got while being treated for Leukemia.

My Hep C is a priority over RA as well. I'll be going to a major teaching hospital in Florida to see if I can try to treat my Hep C again (I relapsed after treatment once) If they tell me that I cannot treat my RA if I treat the Hep C, I will choose to treat the Hep C and pray they give me good pain control.

Anyway, good luck to you. The big "C" is beatable! I've been in remission since 1985.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
