Rant!
Hello all. I'm still feeling rather broadsided by this cancer thing, and so is my family. I've always regarded my health issues as extremely personal. We live in a small community with lots of caring folks. But, there are also the ones who just want something to talk about. So far, we have been able to release the news on…

Very confused and I desperately need to make a choice...
I joined this site on July 11th and somehow couldn't find my way back here. I thought I put it into my favorites but it wasn't there. Anyway... thanks Jackie for your reply to my post back then.

Soybeans, Tofu
I want to know what the Cancer Society's stand on tofu and soybeans. Are they bad for patients with breast cancer or are breast cancer survivors? I see conflicting articles on the internet. I appreciate your opinions

Sorry...missed it again

MRI and Mammo Are Ordered, but my Surgeon does NOT think it's a recurrance!!!!!
My surgeon, a wonderful woman who did my original surgery and who is not "just" a surgeon but a BC specialist, does NOT suspect cancer!! She ordered an MRI and a mammogram, which I think will be done next week ( I need pre-authorization) and, as my Dr says, they will be "tests for exclusion", that is, to rule cancer OUT,…

He said to call my surgeon and…

I also hope for everyone that all unanswered questions have been answered; tough decisions have been made; appointments were positive; treatment is what you think is right for you; and first time treatments were scary but seen through.

Amberen - For Hot Flashes
I am taking Tamoxifen and of course I have the Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, and weight gain to go along with it. Does anyone know if Amberen can be taken with the Tamoxifen? Because of being ER/PR2 - HER2 Positive the Tamoxifen is a Hormone Blocker - Does the Amberen conflict with the Tamoxifen? If it doesn't interfere with…

Day 10 of Pammy's Rads
Yikes! Almost forgot to post about Rads today. Sorry, had unexpected company stop in from out of town and they just left. Well, seems like they just get quicker & quicker.
