    For you guys doing the hair loss situation---I am a mother of a football player when he was in high school and I was first diagnosed, I refused to wear wigs and found one of the best things for head covers--Go to a good sporting goods store where they sell football stuff--and get some skull caps---they come in lots of team colors--and are great.  I have one in green, black, white, red and blue--so I am covered whatever I want to wear--you can get them from the Eastbay sporting goods catalog-they are online too.

    my second time sucked, and really ticked me off, because they put me on aromisin for month-and it didn't do anything--they wasted a month of my life with hormones, when I am er+, PR- and borderline her2+, which means they treat me as negative, I am on my second chemo med cause the first one didn't stop the activity, and I am hoping that the third time is the charm, and will stop the lesions from growing. I am now considered stage 4--and am putting one foot in front of the other and hoping for the best.

    After month of scans I was told yesterday I have mets in my left humerus and T6. This is my third time and I am sick over this.  I was on Arimidex which I guess did nothing and last night he changed me to Aromasin and then have to go for a MRI of T6 and most likely will have to have rads.  Can anyone tell me what it is like to have rads on your spine.  I was burnt really bad the last time on rads for breast.  Also what about Aromasin any side effects.  Onc also said I will have to probably have chemo to both areas which I dread because the dense dose chemo was awful for me.  Not looking forward to this but I swear this is not going to ruin my Holidays.

    Take care,

    Geech
