Bottle 'o Tamoxifen

June, Glad you had a great time with your hubby!! But so sorry you are feeling so bad. I don't know why but it does seem the docs are different in the tests they order and the things they do. Just keep after them!!

Alicia, So glad you were able to have a night of sound sleep!! Here's to more and more of those! BTW, I also do the Shellac on my nails. Love it. I do the french mostly with either the Romantique or Negligee color. I have these awesome tiny little sparkles I found online and add it to my second coat. So pretty and just barely sparkly. I love all things sparkly.

Dawney, thinking about you! During my originial biopsy my dr also had to use a couple different needles. He had to push and push....I thought it was awful and was totally not expecting that. It was very hard and calcified....and he said my breasts were just very fibrous and dense and hard to get through also.

I am scheduled March 4th for my exchange surgery....coming up soon!! Oh my!

This train moves too fast! I'm sorry if I missed some, I'm going to have to start taking notes as I read!!

GOING TO HAVE A LOOK ROUND AND TAKE SAMPLE TO CHECK,

Haven't cooked in a few days - bet eveyone is starving.  Got up early this morning and made breakfast for everyone.  ENJOY!

I am feeling soooo good these days I can hardly stand it.  Now I remember what it was like before BC.  Pretty much back to my old self.  The weather has warmed up which helps with the attitude tremendously as well as keep the toe pains down.  No other SEs from Tamox - hope it stays that way.  I am able to take the whole dose at breakfast with no problems.  I just throw it in with the mix of the other ones I take in the morning and forget it. 

I am off today and have a list of things to get done today.  Have laundry to do, give the dog a bath and do some planning for our cruise which sails in 59 days but I am not counting.

Just finished breakfast and should think about getting dressed.  Let's see what  can come with for lunch today.

I just want to say thanks to all of you out there.  You are an inspiration to me.  I think I will try the Gycine for the sleeping.  And, will try to get back on the tamoxifen.  Good to know that it's not that expensive.  I am checking into  ways that i can get medical assistance here.  My post from feb 11th is so depressing compared to all of yours.  I enjoy reading yours and am looking forward to the day when I will be positive and be able to be helpful to others.  Again, I thank you!  You are all so brave and so inspiring!

dksindistress - Sorry I did not read your earlier post, but I can say that without the help of this group we would all be basket cases.  The support here is so great and inspiring.  Hang with us and let us help you through this.  You can do it.

Met my new MO yesterday and love him.  He spent 1 1/2 hours with my DH and me going over everything from my original pathology to now in great detail.  I don't think a stone was left unturned, now I can feel much better about the direction I am heading.  As far as my SE from tamox he is working with me on that as well.  Wants to see me once a month until my SE are resolved then I can go to every three months.

dksindistress-don't worry about depressing post.  If you read mine from yesterday it was pretty depressing as well.  This group is great for support and we can be free to let it all out.

JUNE//So glad you slept better, let me know I have a bunch of that fairy dust hanging around lol!!!

Jo.. yummy on the breakfast again!!!! and I lone Hello Kitty

Alicia - Okay!  Want details on your cruise.  What cruise line?  How many days?  Where are you going out of and what ports are you going to?  I am being nosey.

We leave out of Galveston, TX on Apr 17th.  We sail on the Carnival Conquest for 7 days to Montego Bay, Jamaica, Cayman Islands and Cozumel.  We will be in the Caymans on my 56th birthday.  Plan on snorkeling in Cozumel - they have a great snorkel excursion.  We have been on this ship 3 times already and don't care where the ship sails to - we are not at work and that is all that matters.  We have not done all the shore excursions in each of the ports although we do the same thing each time in Cozumel.

Here is a little something to get us ready for the sail away party!  One for you and one for me

JO ~ too funny we are going out of Orlando, FL we leave on Apr. 16.  We are going to Belize, Isla Rotan, Cozumel and someplace else I can't remember....  Thanks for the tropical drink. 

                                   - I have been to Belize and loved it.  Haven't been to Isla Roatan.  We would have to go to New Orleans to get there.  What cruise line?

Here is a thought - we leave the DHs at home - you and I go and we could get out drinks served by him.  What do you think?

Alicia - What day are you going to be in Cozumel?  We will be there on Fri, Apr 22nd.  If you are there the same day,, maybe we can get together for lunch.

Isn't the Dream one of the newest ships?  Bet it is gorgeous. 

Cruises are awesome... hope you have a great time. Love the drinks and that adorable lil pool boy lol!!!!!

Thanks June...chiropractor got some movement out of me today but I am pretty darn stuck and had trouble getting off he #$%^$^&& table!!! two more sessions booked and another massage....stress, not sleeping = going over on my ankle and then compensating with my back...should have gone earlier when it first hit but shoulda.coulda, woulda, hmm?..hang in there, hmm? I had a bad few days too...full moon tomorro or Friday ..all connected hmm>>

dkindisress- the glycine helps and so does the exercize....tami is not expensive, has been around a long time and there is likely financil support available through your breast cancer organization. Give them a call?
