Sharing wisdom will be appreciated.ADH  Janie07 Sat, 03 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT After diagnosis of Breast Cancer in 2003, I under went surgery, chemo and finished my last radiation treatment in 2004. My initial diagnosis was 1 month after the death of my granddaughter. Then only a couple of months later had to undergo cervical spine fusion. I lost everything I had ever had and I thought that this would be the worst devestation I could go through. Then in 2007 I broke my left arm(the same side as my breast cancer, I have now developed RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome) which is now spreading to my right side and I was curious if anyone else had any thing similar. If this wasn't enough I have now been downsized out of my job my health care insurance and I am trying to find out where to go and what I can do. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate your help. Drkrystal Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT
