Bottle 'o Tamoxifen

June - thanks for your advice.  I've already notice some SEs have gone away and I'm crossing my fingers the rest go away too!  Sorry to hear you had such a sad weekend.  Sending you a gentle hug!

Charmaine - you're welcome.  I found it handy to have the list of potential side effects and how to manage them.  And it was a good reminder about blood clots. I hope other ladies will find the list helpful as well.

Paula - Glad your appointment went better than the last time.  Did your doctor recommend the baby aspirin because you might be higher risk for a blood clot, or did he/she think it would just be a good idea?  I may have to ask my doctor about that because there is heart disease in my family.

Sherry - Happy Birthday.  Hope you're having a fantastic day

Paula - You came through once again.  I don't know which one is better so I am going to take  both of them.  My appt should be a breeze.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERRY!!!! Hope your were spoiled rotten today... After all, you only turn 49 once or twice, right? 

Wow you ladies sure found some nice eye candy. Male clevage ok, plumbers crack NO!!! 

Paula - Glad the appt was bettter than the last... Those are never any fun so nice to have it behind you. 

Ready for the pocket party tomorrow... Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!!

WOWZA!!  That's quite the eye candy Paula - made me spit my water out because it was the first thing I saw when I opened this thread... ha, ha, ha... I will definitely ask my doctor about the baby aspirin.

Jo - hope your appointment goes well tomorrow.  We'll be thinking of you.

Angie you are too funny hubba hubba....LOL

Jo I am geared up and ready for some fun........I will go for a  food seeing I am off the booze for awhile.

Jumping in the pockets Jo.  Junie better behave this time.  Last time she almost got me in trouble.  She is a real pot stirrer that's for sure, lol!  Me I'm very well behaved and would never get into trouble, lol. 

Climbing in now jo.  But first a (((hug)))!

Just got back from my gyn appt and it is not good.  I had another transvaginal US done and my uterus is very thick again - he said it looks like a sponge.  So, I am scheduled for June 29th.  Tamoxifen loves my uterus.  I am so scared now.  Don't know if I could deal with cancer at the other end.  

I have a dinner business meeting tonight.  That will be a good distraction.  Will try and get back on here later.

Thanks everyone for the pocket party.  I really appreciate all the love and support. 

Thanks Sherry.  I am so very scared right now.  Don't need to hear I have cancer at the other end.  Path report will tell all.

Jo honey praying for you girlfriend and of course you are scared, who wouldn't be.  Going to chant b-9 b-9 b-9 till you tell me it is.....luv you!

Here's to it being B9 Jo!!!!  Got ya in my prayers my dear Sista!

Jo: I am praying for you too! Take heart and don't let fear rob you of your strength! Love, light, and blessings to you!

This is 2 years in a row I will have to do this.  Enough is enough.  Whoever thought that once your uterus was scraped, the shit would grow back???  As far as the path report, I don't know how long I will have to wait.  I am having the procedure done on Friday and will have the weekend to try and guess.  Will keep everyone posted.

I hate the thought of the dam* tamoxifen!!!!!! Had anyone ever asked their gyn doc if endimetrial ablation would eliminate this issue? I know it sounds simplistic but? ?? Best wishes jo!

schipmom - Your biopsy will be just a few days after mine.  I will also be thinking about you.  Enough of this crap.  When does it ever end???  I so hate Tamoxifen and just hope neither one of us has to do this every year.  

I am very seriously thinking about having a complete hysterectomy - ovaries and all next summer so I can forget this crap.  I am 57 and don't need the plumbing or the worry anymore.
