    Ontario,

    Not everyone gains on Tamox. You would have seen it by now.

    Good for you, something ok for a change

    RG's right - not everyone does gain on tamox. I know several women who haven't and who have basically no SE at all.

    Unfortunately, they're usually not the ones who are commenting on their experience with it. I really hate seeing women scared away from a drug that could be very easy to live with as well as significantly cutting their risk of recurrence.

    Hopful

    You're spot on.  If I had no SE, no emotional issues, no................................

    I would not be on these boards.

    No weight gain but....I'm so touchy....definitely more mood swings and that SE really sucks.

    This road of BC has been so bumpy....I do feel for my DH. I finish rads on Wed and we are headed out to a much needed holiday. I just want to have FUN with my husband with no appts, phones, kids, dogs, in laws...like OMG...even if we just nap together...on our own time table. I just want this boob to heal because at the moment it looks like a hunk of roast beef.

    I agree, I fee that I will always be a patient who is battling, that makes me a warrior! this will have far bigger implications for my life than just mere survival.

    I don't see things that way I used to. I have little tolerance for foolish squabbling.

    I don't even see the things I have in that same way, the things don't seem to glimmer or shine like they did once.

    I spend far more time going outside, and being in nature, enjoying the different sounds and activity.

    the rest of the world has become an irritation, so much belly aching about little things that to me just don't matter.

    I see my family differently and am more tolerant of their habits, and let less bother me.

    Everyday is a struggle to stay positive, and try to focus on the next step.

    This isn't going to be fun, I am not OK, and I won't be ok or the same ever again

    this isn't just about getting rid of the cancer it changes everything about me!

    I am never going to be the same person, and I have no idea what this journey has in store for me.

    I know one thing only today is the most important day of my life!
