I unofficially qualified for this group early last month...

11. Well, I am in SW Alabama so know too well the heat and humidity.

I was reading in Breastcancer.org section on hair loss, suggestions that one can use a satin pillow case, which makes the stubble more comfortable
(then again, a snug sleep cap will work)

I have to the unit for pre-admission stuff, and noticed it was quite chilly...all the staff were wearing sweaters.
Happily, I have several nice very light weight fleece wraps.
Do you know the purpose of the chilly temps????

Have not got port yet..I see the mastectomy surgeon for follow up on Monday and they say he will put one in, but when I do not know, since I won't be seeing oncologist till Tuesday, he will have, hopefully, gotten all the tests that I have been doing this week.

And I am now off for another fun run of testing..a Iodine contrast CAT and a heart echo gram.

Thanks for the tips.....I will be asking more, if I may, as I progress.
