According to the Centers for Disease Control, living with cancer increases your risk for complications from the flu. If you have cancer now or have had cancer in the past, you are at higher risk for complications from both seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu. ...

Main advice- talk to your doctor. The flu changes- each time they change the vaccine a little to address the changes in the strain. Same goes for the H1N1. Heres info from CDC site http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/vaccine_safety.htm

Got the H1N1 vaccine on Friday, arm was a little sore, otherwise side effects were just like the seasonal flu vaccine. No big deal, I figure better safe than sorry. I'm a survivor myself, have a friend on chemo and would feel terrible if I got her sick, so am being super careful. She can't get the vaccine because of egg allergies. Take care all.

This Thanksgiving....I am thankful to be able to spend every day and holiday with my children in the deepest ways possible since my diagnosis in 2006. So many people do not realize the precious commodity of time in which we patients and survivors endure with every breath we take. Life and Love becomes the envelope of o...ur being. The ability to relearn the greed of society, money, and material things is seems impossible from the altered reality of our pre-cancer life we have experienced. Some of us are strong, some of us are struggling to be strong, but we have life and love in the strongest light that keeps us striving for another day, and the purest thankfulness one could experience.God Bless everyone this Thanksgiving. I Love You Laura, Brendan, and Aleah xoxoRead More

Jennifer Ann Smith Anyone have any suggestions for resources for a lymphadema patient who is paralyzed and needs a professionally fitted lymphadema sleeve for his thigh? He is on public assistance in California and they have denied it even though his doctors do say his life may depend on it. Not cancer related but we have so many cancer patients with lymphadema I thought I'd ask as it is not an area I have had to deal with.

I like the LIVESTRONG cards a lot, especially those that can be personalized with photos. Call me old-fashioned, but I still love sending and receiving holiday cards.

AMEN! Leslie! There are other illnesses that require living strong that cause people to carry extra weight: thyroid disease, arthtitis, fibromyalgia (and more). We carry our own burden & support those we love with cancer. There should be apparel we can fit into that shows we support the Live Strong cause.

A wonderful woman named Stefanie Speilman passed away last Thursday (11/19/2009) after a courageous 11yr battle with breast cancer. Her name may not be familiar to all, but if you are from Ohio or every spent anytime at Ohio State you will probably have heard of her name. She has a fund at the James Cancer Hospital in ...Columbus OH that she established to help others with breast cancer. She was and will continue to be an inspiration to all women and anyone who is battling any cancer. Please keep her husband and kids in your thoughts and prayers!!Read More
