Hi everybody. Last Friday I was told I had grade 1/2 breast cancer. I am just devistated. My head is all over the place and now I am being sent for stage tests...I gave bloods- they all came back normal, and had my CT scan this morning. 2 weeks ago I ran 10 K for breast cancer not realising the very next morning i would detect the lump..... I am so terrified that its somewhere else. I ache all over sensing the worst. I'm back at work teaching until the time when I will have surgery and drugs and everybody comments on how ell I'm doing. Inside I'm in turmoil....what the hell is going to happen to me? I'm still waiting on a bone scan and MRI. All my other 37 year old friends and my twin are out thereliving a normal life....I don'tthink I will ever feel normal again. Help!

In between chemo treatment, do people need someone at home with them all the time or is someone safe enough to be possibly on their own while their OH is working? Any information on what is likely to happen in between treatment will be helpful.

Hi all, I am posting a question here more to put my mind at ease than to looking for an answer. My husband is 2.5 years in remission (praise God) from stage 3 high grade, B cell, mediastinum Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma with complications of a tracheoesophageal fistula. He's doing amazing and is back to himself. He struggled with chronic fatigue & still has his off days but is doing great. One thing that I wanted to ask if anyone has encountered is night sweats..well more like night clamminess post treatment? He's always been a warm bodied man, even prior to diagnosis, and gets clammy at night. He insists on wrapping himself up like a caterpillar at night. As soon as he removes the sheet for a few seconds get cools right down & stops sweating. This occurs maybe once or twice a month, not every night. He did have drenching night sweats just prior to diagnosis & during treatment that would wake him & sheets would need changing. This is def not to that extent & isn't a new symptom, but has me panicked as I'm the one noticing it not him. I needless to say don't want to worry him over something silly, but not sure should I make him get it checked out? His next Oncology check up & scan is November time. Any advice welcome I guess I'm the worrier as I had to watch him go through his treatment & felt "what if I'd noticed a symptom sooner". X

Has anyone any information or experience on the use of hemp juice as a boost to the immune system and an aid to general good health? I was recently told by an acquaintance that there were numerous benefits to taking hemp juice and it is beneficial while on chemo. Would appreciate any feedback.
