Bottle 'o Tamoxifen

YAY!  Good news, Alicia!   It's always good when you can get rid of a doctor appointment....

I still see my surgeon once a year.  

Hope you are all doing well.  I have been MIA for awhile.  I am on FB now most of the time.

Harley

Paula, we will be there, we do that you know!

Thanks Jo! I will try that to see if it subsides.

 Happy Friday!!

Diane

Paula ~ hoping all went well today !

Finally have my bone scan appt scheduled for Wednesday of next week.  Hoping for good news so I can just blame this tailbone pain on tamoxifen.

Happy Friday Sisters !

Alicia

I think our group could use a bit of a sugar HIGH !  How about some yummy cupcakes girls?

:P

And some nice fruity drinks???

ok those cupcakes and chocolates look very inviting!!! yummmmmyyy

Alicia.. next wed... on my calendar will have my wings ready to go!!! hugs!

Paula..thinking of you and hoping all went well.. hugs!

Jo.chabba sherry didi and all my tammy ladies.. helloooooo!

Thanks girls for going.  It went well.  I am in remission, YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks so much for going with me, it meant alot. I knew in the very back of my mind I was ok but at the same time I didnt.  Does that make sense.  I guess I just needed her to say it to me.  I go for labs in a few weeks, but I dont see her for 3 months.  I cant begin to tell you all how relieved I am.  The Onc did help me with a few issus I had and I say it went good.

While I was doing chemo, my mom took me to my treatments.  She wanted to go today so she could hear the Onc say I was ok.  Plus she wanted to do alittle shopping.  Man did we shop the afternoon away.  I had a good time.  Clothes I still have a few issues with, but I am learning how to deal with the TE and how the look in clothes.  I hope you all didnt mind the shopping spree.  I knew you all were in my pockets and Tink was on my shoulder so I didnt try anything on.  I didnt want to loose any of you.  Im sure my mom will need a reason to go back to town for sure, lol.

Great news Paula glad u got to go shopping and enjoy your afternoon

Paula...great news sooo glad to hear!!!! I am up for shopping anytime

JO Yes I still am at the beach. I met HARLEY a few nights ago and we had dinner. There is a pic on my facebook page! miss you! will check back in!

Alicia how are you feeling today.. sending you lots of hugs too

Hi Sherry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tink ~ love the pic on facebook so glad you two got to meet..... and yes I am jealous !

I am feeling OK ~ hate to admit I am weaning off of the antidepressants, they are making me too hungry.  MY psych is going to kill me.  I AM TRYING....  if I feel awful I guess I will go back on.  I just hate pills.......

But today I am feeling GOOD !

Thanks Sherry..that's a great suggestion! I will try that today.

Thanks Jo and Alicia for making me want cupcakes!

Congrats Paula on a clean bill of health from your onc...always a relief. I can't wait to spread out onc visits to 4 months..then every 5 months ..then every 6...that will be nice...not that I don't love my onc. but I am starting to feel done with doctor visits.

Have a great Saturday!

Diane

 Tink,

It was GREAT meeting you!  I stole the picture you took....  it's now in with my pics...  

If any of my bco friends want to come to Myrtle Beach area for vacation, I would LOVE to meet you for lunch or dinner.  Just send me a message.  

Alicia,

Hope you are feeling better.   I have been battling depression for some time now.  I always feel worse around the time of my follow ups with my doctors, and May is usually the worst.  I have my annual follow up with my surgeon, and even though I love him, it brings it all back, and then I always seem to have an onc. appt. in there somewhere.  I go to see him on Tuesday....    I think it is because I know that I have been forever changed my my breast cancer dx, and life will never be the same again.  That depresses me.   Hang in there!  Sending BIG HUGS your way!!  Wish you could come down for a visit!  I would LOVE to meet you!!

I still see my surgeon once a year, for follow up, and will for the rest of my life, or as long as he's still practicing...    I love my surgeon, so I am fine with that.

I only see my onc. every 6 months, but I want to go to annual check ups with him.  He never does anything, anyway.    I get myself all worked up for nothing....

Harley

Dear Paula:

So happy your onc visit went well. I was thinking about you. I have my visit this coming Tuesday so I hope you'll all be with me (I'll wear big pockets) as you Ladies seem to bring good luck!

Alicia, glad you're feeling better. Worrying about the pills making you hungry means you must be feeling better.

Diane, I take one acidophilus pill each day and it has cured the nausea and the constipation. Maybe this could help you? 

 don't have anything specific to worry about, though some questions, but just walking into her office makes my heart start to beat fast....My Dad (20 yr leukemia survivor, having a big party this summer to celebrate! says that never goes away. He still gets palpitations when going for hischeckups...Guess I can deal with this.)

Ladies, a question:

I am having the mothers of all hot flashes since starting these lupron shots. Sometimes they even make me really tired for a few minutes, not to mention how embarassing it is to erupt in sweat spontaneously. Husband says no one notices, and also it's really really hot now here in Israel, so everybody's kind of sweaty, but any suggestions? I am not going to take any hormones to treat this, that's for sure. They aren't the worst thing in the world, I mean I can live with them, but they wake me and do interfere with day to day life. I have to stop and take a sec to recover. I do notice that they seem to be somewhat stress related. Like if I'm thinking of something that bothers me, I'll get one. This is just a curiousity, doesn't really help prevent them. Short of moving to Alaska (which wouldn't even help as I get them even in the most air conditioned places...) I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thanks, Shari

What have you done since with the Effexor and Tamomifen. I am also experience restless nights with mega night sweats, no sleep, and real moodiness a.k.a depression.  I am on Effexor 150 and Tamoxifen 20 for 6 months so far.
