I was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts and lymph nodes under both arms in August 2006. After completing treatment, my ultrasounds for 2005 are missing. Attempting to locate them, I have heard stories from many women whose mammograms and other radiology records have gone missing after a diagnosis of cancer. These missing records prevent any hope of collecting damages - which is perhaps why they have gone missing!

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I have been unwell to update my blog more regularly as chemotherapy has been harsh and unrelenting on my body.

Over the past few weeks I have been hospitalised with severe gastritis due to the steroids I take to curb side effects from the chemo and discovered I have a deep vein thrombosis which requires twice daily injections of Clexane in the stomach, I had another stay in hospital to have my "porta-cath" inserted and my worse nightmare has hit as I have discovered an identical mass in my right breast!!!

My husband brought to my attention the article in the AZ Republic today. Thinking I would find answers to some of my medical problems, I quickly read the article only to find out about your web site. I have never written anything to a web site and doubt you have the space needed, but here goes. I am fifty-nine years old, married for forty one years to the same man, (top that one)and have medical problems that continue to amaze me. Like you Michelle, I had a complete hysterectomy, I was fifty at the time and had a benign tumor.

I always ask friend etc. what doctor they go to....I look for a pleasant,honest physician that will speak to you with concern and not be scribbling things on your chart,asking a few questions, write your perscription and starts for the door while you give him your answers.
I am a retired Medical assistant. I worked in the field for 25 years. The

A friend of mine from Twitter, whom I know as "Why Mommy," posted this on her blog, Toddler Planet, last summer when she was diagnosed. She has a support group called "Team WhyMommy" of bloggers who re-post his post on her behalf to increase awareness of inflammatory breast cancer.

Here's the post, but I suggest you go to ToddlerPlanet(http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com/2007/... and read about her struggle:

Here's an interesting blog from the Dallas Morning News that states women care more about weight than breast cancer.

Such are the just-released findings of a nationwide survey of 3,000 women conducted Meredith Corporation and NBC Universal.

Could this be true? Do you care more about diet & weight control than heart disease? Let me know what you think.

GET YOUR MAMMOGRAM! My Mom recentley was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, after 12 years of being cancer free. The cancer was found through a routine mammogram! Surgery was successful and she is now cancer free with fairly easy treatment! It isn't possible to stress enough how important it is to GET YOUR MAMMOGRAM!

Hello everyone,

Thank you once again for reading my blog. Your ongoing support has been dearly appreciated and I am honoured at the suggestion to start a diary of my treatment in order to share my story!

EVERY 13 MINUTES someone dies from breast cancer. But did you know that almost 100 percent of all government and private funding supports ways to fight breast cancer rather than prevent it?

That’s right. After 30 years of research and billions of dollars spent, we still don’t know the cause of this deadly disease. And while an abundance of funding is pouring in to advance mechanical forms of fighting breast cancer such as chemo therapy and radiation, there is basically no research being administered that looks at the cause of breast cancer.
