Topic: RE: Two year check up results
I did. I told him about the pain i was having and the other problems. he said to come in next time because he couldn't tell anything was wrong right now. he said that most likely the pain was caused by the constipation and that i should stay hydrated and eat more fiber rich foods. my proteins were very good so he wasn't worried about me not getting enough of that.
Thanks.
Thanks.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I don't know what I would do if I learned my sisiter had cancer. I am sorry I have missed your call today was my kids last day of school and it has been hectic getting ready for a dumb yard sale my sister is forcing me into. I have no words of wisdom but just that I am thinking of you and your family.

Topic: RE: Two year check up results
I am glad your appt went well. Did you get other answers to some of your issues? It is always nice to be able to go over things with the expert.
I also get cold very easily. 70 is not warm enough for me. I have had to turn on my space heater at work when the AC gets too cold. I keep lots of hoodies and other coats around-I was not low on anything on my bloodwork either. This seems to be something ALOT of us WLS graduates suffer from.
Hope you are feeling better!

Have you had your thyroid checked? That's what my doctor suggested.
I looked it up on the internet about the low ferritin and apparently that happens alot with hypothyroid. I called my primary doc to schedule an appt. It would be wonderful to not be cold all the time.

I am cold most of the time too. Maybe not as cold as you describe, but cold. I don't even care about air conditioning anymore. I used to be so hot all the time! Now my husband and I argue about the temp of the house all the time!
Topic: Two year check up results
I just got into the office after my two year checkup with my doc. Last year my b12 was borderline low. this year it is high. weird, but yay! but, my ferritin was way low he said.
also, when i told him that i was cold all the time, even when others around me are comfortable, he said that he didn't think it was WLS related and to have my thyroid checked.
anyone else cold all the time?
i keep a light jacket on all the time. the thermostat at work says its 70 and i'm still not comfortable. at home i practically live under a thermal blanket.
thanks,
Heather

Topic: Sister has stage 3 breast cancer
I got the call this morning and my sister said bad news I have breast cancer and I was just in shock and all I could say is I am so sorry. She has had regular mamography and last one was 1 year 3 mos ago and they saw nothing and she discovered a small soft not hard lump on her left breast and was painful to touch and also noticed her lymph nodes were swollen,sure enough Cancer was found in her left breast and few lymph nodes Kaiser docs told her most likely not signs of cancer but guess what it was. She found it. My confidence in mamograms is shaken due to fact that my aunt and now sister was not deteted via mamogram Both were soft and painful. My aunt had a mamogram 3 mos prior to her discovering a pea size soft mass and it grew to size of softball and she died 3 mos later of rapid moving breast cancer
I am just 3 weeks post BA. My sister is 56 and I am 50. Before I had BA I had a digitial mamagram and a ultra sound and halo test and I had informed my doc that I had a aunt that died of fast moving breast cancer at 56 Question is screening for breast cancer post BA? I was told that with BA breast cancer is harder to find. but does not increase your chance of breast cancer I sure hope not. I will be letting my docs know of the current events but is their anything more I can be doing then just a ticking time bomb for cancer undectiable via mamograms??
my sister cancer is stage 3 and the couse of treatment TBD but they feel she will need surgery and chemo but not sure which one first, She will be going in for a full ct scan to see if it has spead any further than her lymph nodes, Hard to beleive a mamogram did not pick up the cancer she did not have a digitial mamogram but I have. Hard to beleive a very tiny spot that was the size of a baby asprin has already traveled to her lumph nodes. I wonder do I need to be screen every 6 mos? Question will be asked to my docs, I am freaking out big time and so scared for my sister. Any advice or words or wisdom regarding breast cancer would help.

Update they will mostly likely order me a mri 6 weeks post BA
