For Arimidex (Anastrozole) users, new, past, and ongoing

leaking calories?  love it~~

bought a new scale and it seems I lost 10 pounds since the other one crashed.....interesting!

best one to buy is a cheap one at Walmart

well, I am going to do the blue jean test and figure all is steady as of now....no pigging out is allowed!

MyFaith and BB,  today will be the first day off Anostosole and on Tomoxofin.  Thanks for the suggestion, I hope this will be a better option for my bones, with fewer SEs.  However, my MO does not think my pains are caused by Anostrosole.  She admitted she was not qualified to determine anything else but cancer to the bones, and could not know if it is bone thinning or arthritis that shows on the bone scan.  I totally feel we have to diagnosis ourselves!

Stage 1, the really unsettling part is that we DO really have to do our own homework. For many parts of this 'trip', the doctors do NOT know any more than us .

I think that's why they call it 'practicing' medicine .

Seems my onc and NP do believe there are SE. But I haven't had any really bad ones other than the osteoporosis. And my onc must have thought this was important because I had scans every year up till now.

I just eat 5-6.....12 would make it hard to ever leave the bathroom!

Thanks.....I am still trying to learn how to do stuff on the computer.....now I know I should title the pictures I download, otherwise I have to just hit at random & whatever shows up is what I get! Computers would be a lot easier if I had any 12 year old in the country living with me (probably any 8 year old)!

Ruth, have to agree on the 8 year old helping fix problems on computer!  Sounds like the squirts in my family!  Once my monitor on old computer stopped working, I took it to my nephew (think he was about 14 at the time and he was hoarding computer parts)  He took the back of the computer, then said ...Aunti I, it is dusty!  He blew the dust off, but it back together and it worked....Never knew I needed to dust inside the computer?

well I am not much for dusting anything and usually wait till you can write your name~~

Ladies, just a note on dusting, since we r on the subject....I smelled a burning smell the other day..my dryer had so much dust and dog hair behind it, I called a vent man and he cleaned behind and inside the vent that leads to the roof.  There was a hole in the silver vent behind the dryer.  Anyway, this is dangerous and I should have maintained this yearly.  Same thing with the computers...fire danger.

OMG, thank you Lago! I right clicked & could preview ......now if I can just remember that until next time I want to do it!!!!
