• Anyone dealing with horrible side effects of chemo and a BMT? I have horrible joint pain and bone pain. I don't want to keep using pain pills but they are the only thing that works.

• Hi everyone! I am in remission and have been since November 2013. I go in for check ups every 4 months for CT scans/X-rays. About a month before my scans I get terrified and anxious, it only gets worse the closer I get to my appointment day. I know that it's not healthy to put that stress on myself. Is there anything you can recommend to help put my mind at ease so I can stay calm? Thank you so much!! Click here to answer.
