Bottle 'o Tamoxifen

Tink, I sure hope your daughter will be OK. It's hard not to worry and if you have a place to share it, it's better for you!!!!

Jo, I'm sry you still have one drain, but HAPPY you lost one!!! AND those strawberries....OMG!!!!

Happy NEW WEEK everyone!!!! Well in a few hrs

Hey June I am here and doing fantastic.  Best I have felt in a very long time. But you are right it is quiet around here. Hugs back atcha

It has been super crazy around my house the past 3 days.  I haven't had much down time so I am wipped out by the time I get to chill.  I just so glad things are finally starting to look good and the focus is more on doing rather then just being, atleast thats for today, gotta remember the 24 hr rule!  Hugs to you all!!!!

June - I got them and not sure I like the new format.  In all fairness to the Mods, I will give it a chance.

I agree.  It seems harder to follow things.  But, I'll give it a go as well.  

I thought I was going crazy!!!!

Not sure about the changes, but I'll wait

Ditto Not sure I like this but will give it a try

Hope the thread being quiet is just everyone being busy.  Hopefully with non-cancer stuff.  I had to move my daughter home from university and working on support arrangements for youngest who will be going in the fall (updating her audiological assesments, etc.).

Saw BS today.  Feels we should wait a couple of months more post rads to do follow-up MRI.  Pre-op MRI showed something on other side and as my primary cancer was mixed at higher risk for another primary(hopefully tamox will help cut this risk as well as distant recur).  So will do it probably around same time as my post rad mamo.  Said will get better read with the two combined. Will probably need yearly MRIs too.  Feeling a little better now that I understand more.  I think they just didn't want to burden me with too much info when making decisions about primary.

Hope everyone is well and having a good week.

Wow my tamox eyes are getting a little tired quickly with these new colours.

Well only home from the BS about 2 hrs and get a phone call.  Apparently on a second review they want to do 6 month MRI from post op MRI at soonest possible date.  Will do a direct comparison and then set up follow-up MRIs to coordinate with mamos in the future.

Thanks for the vote of confidence June.  Most of the time do ok, but have my days.  Also am learning to accept what may be, but also get crazy when my family, etc. think that as I didn't do chemo and am done rads that it is over.  Other than the tamox that drives me crazy at times with SEs I can't do much to change what may be.  Just try to do what I can to catch it early again.  I understand your worry with your grade of DCIS.  The uncertainty is the hardest part of this journey.

at least the profile pics are fixed.  I thought I was seeing funny.

Hi all it's a Thursday here for me and it has been great whent shopping with my husbands key card today and whent a bit over board on it and he has just looked at his account via his computer and he is now a bit pissed off with me opps

I'll have to give him a little loveing tonight then he won't be so cranky hehehe

Just a question I've been having hip pain for around 6 months now told onco he had a scan done showed up neg but slowly it has gotten worse its nothing like the aches and pains from tamoxifen it's different I'm going back to see him next week and I want a bone scan done

How clear are the ct scans can we trust them? Also I'm really tired , a bit nausea from time to time and I'm feeling like my body is run down ,I'm not stressed out and I don't work just one day a week also now I'm feeling tender on my pubic bone it's hard no to think mets

Jojo

Welcome Jojo!

Kim.. lol I hear you.. I think I am going to have to make a stop by KOhls today all in the name of TAMOXIFEN.

Jo.. wishing you luck tomorrow to get that last drain out!!!

Tomorrow is my Breast surgeon appt... double pocket party!

All my wonderful TAMMY LADIES... Hugs for a great day~!!

jojo welcome and yes listen to your body.  No one knows it better than you.  When I have ignored what my body is saying to me is the times I regret the most.

Kim and Tink go for it girls with the shopping.  I am in need of some retail therapy myself.  Maybe soon I can always sneak in a shopping trip when I go to my Dr appts.

June hate that you are still having stomach issues.  I know trying to decided to stay off of T is a big decision.  I went through that this last time when I got off of it.  Decided to give it one more try and the funny thing is I am not having all the bad SE's that I had before.  I know I have only been back on it a little over two weeks and I know that I can still have SE's but maybe I will be lucky this time.

When I went off of Tamoxifen this time I decided I was not going to get back on my celebrex unless I started having SE's and needed it.  So far I have not had to take it.  I took the prilosec for three days and then stopped to see how my stomach would react and I have ben fine.  Since my BMX I have not had any nerve breast pain like before so my MO has put me on a weaning off schedule for my Elavil.  I also decided to start trying this week to get off of Lunesta. I am taking Melatonin.  The first couple of nights it was rough but I sleep really good last night and with no vivid dreams.  So hopefully I am on the right track to get rid of some of these meds. MO was happy that I was so determined to get rid of some of this but he also said if you need them don't put yourself in misery. I told him fine but if I was miserable enough to need them we would have the talk about me getting off of Tamoxifen and he said that was a fair disussion to have.  So far so Good.

jojo you are sideways on my view.  Your head is to the right. LOL
