Should I go on Fosamax?
Happy New Year everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has any good or bad experiences taking Fosamax. My doctor wants me to take it because since my hysterectomy a year and a half ago, I had to switch from tamoxifen to Aromasin. Since that time my osteopenia went from mild to moderate. I go to Curves 4 times a week,…

6 month checkup
I have to see my onc tomorrow for my 6 month checkup & blood test (tumor markers). Don't know that I should be, but I'm nervous/anxious. I'm afraid they'll find "something". Logically I know it's better to face whatever I have to face than ignore it...but still. Waiting for the blood to come back is the worst. To top it…

I got a job!

In need of support?

By then, this sun-loving gal…

Tomorrow I bid farewell to my companion for the past 9½ months, Bard Port (aka my chemo port). I am not sure what I think, other than excited at reaching another milestone but a little nervous about the procedure. I am to be over to the hospital (out-patient) early tomorrow. They have a procedure room reserved for this…

I am very small chested-I am going on a cruise in May-I want to try on bathing suit prior to see if you can notice. With ever day clothes and bra I DO NOT think it's noticable.
