claudia413 I know what you mean...LOL. I'm educating the medical profession as I go along, and I'm not kidding either. All of the people in the support group either have IBC or are related or friends with someone who does/did have it. They are an absolutely amazing...

claudia413 Tiger, my mission is to educate the general public about IBC, a very rare and highly aggressive form of breast cancer. At the same time, I am also educating many medical professionals, including my own doctor. It's a shame that something so devastating isn't...

claudia413 Thanks for the kind words. I'm determined to stay positive in my thoughts, work hard at getting to be NED (no evidence of disease) and will continue to get the word out about IBC. You are also in my thoughts and prayers.

claudia413 Two days after my first chemo treatment, and I'm still feeling fine. No real nausea, but I did take a nap on Friday and Saturday and will probably take one today also. The support group can be a lifesaver in more ways than one. I know exactly what you...

claudia413 Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm a very stubborn Swede, very positive in my outlook on life, love to laugh at life, and a real fighter. I want to receive the designation "NED" one day, which means "No Evidence of Disease"...that's what you get with IBC,...

There are some very good hints in this video that was sent to me from a friend. Watch the video and see how easy it is for a thief to grab and run with your valuables, especially your identity. This video was put out by our local...

claudia413 You are so right about keeping doors locked when in the car. Also keep them locked and the keys in your hand while you're pumping gas. It always pays to be alert of your surroundings. You're a smart lady.

claudia413 The main thing pointed out was not to keep your purse or any other valuables in sight when you get out to pump gas. Be sure to hide them on the floorboard or in the trunk, take your keys out of the car and lock the doors while you're pumping.

how did you use it after you learned it? I used it in every job I've held over the past 47 years. When I was in school, I used it to write down and learn the words to every new song on the radio. This really helped pick up my...

claudia413 You just named 3 of my all-time favorite singers when you said Ella, Sara and Etta. They sure don't make them like that any more.
