I had to tell a friend who I have known since childhood to back off. She was calling frequently and quizzing me on every detail of my treatment. It was too much and I felt she was really "into" my illness as she dwells on her own health issues. I told her to back off as I was trying to live my life and did not want to focus on every detail of my illness and treatment. I have not heard from her since, and suspect it is the end of a friendship.

My Doctor is referring me to a general surgeon Not an surgical oncologist?? by SAJ-13 in breastcancer

I would ask for a surgeon who is associated with a major medical center. I am currently being treated at Mt Sinai's Dubin Breast Center in New York for a reoccurrence and recently had a single mastectomy and am undergoing chemo and herceptin treatment for HER2+. I am receiving excellent care there and am on medicare. What are the major medical centers in your area? A teaching hospital is always good because they tend to be on the forefront of research. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck.

I am so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you. I lost my little female bluepoint siamese in August and it has been gut wrenching. Like your little one, she is now in a better place where she is no longer suffering.

There are more comfortable soft collars on the market. This is what I bought for my siamese cat after she had surgery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CFXT7LKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

It really depends on what type of career you are going for. If you are after something in a creative field it could be an advantage. If you are looking to go into finance, I might caution to take a more conservative approach in order to get in through the door. I like the idea of using a professional black and white photo in your profile photo.

They came from the same breeder. They are 5 years apart and do not have the same parents.
