Tamoxifen and hot flashes
Hi everyone. I have been on Tamoxifen for almost 3 months now. My MO expected me to have no side effects, as I am still menstruating and am so young (29). Nevertheless, I have started to experience mild hot flashes. I did have bad hot flashes during chemo, but they stopped once I was done with chemo. These new hot flashes…

chronic celulitis?
I know you all must be getting tired of hearing me complain about this, but I was wondering if anyone else has a chronic case of this? This is my 4th infection since my feb. surgery.

What happens if you skip rads for a few days?
Hello - My oncologist is closed Thanksgiving and the day after - I was planning on being out of town for the weekend and ask them if it would hurt to also miss Monday and they said it is not a good idea to miss that many days? Has anyone else had to miss days and what happens if you do? Thanks. Judy

Six month visit with Med Onc
This morning was my six month visit with my MO. I wasn't really nervous until this morning, when I couldn't stop crying. The route to the hospital kicks up my PTSD and that's after beginning to get nervous at home. Doc walked in told me I looked like a million bucks except for the tears. I've lost 33 pounds since he last…

Got the anti nausea meds this time
What a difference. I didn't get sick at all, they said it was unusual to get so sick from this chemo, but I did. This time though the constipation is going to get me. I am not a coffee drinker but am trying it all. Coffee, prune juice, oatmeal, laxative, even suppository. If this doesn't work then I don't know what will.…

Day 1 Radiation
Hey Rosas, I had my 1 of 40 today. I really didn't feel anything. Afterwards I felt a little light headed for a little while. Nerves I'm sure were a part of it. I hope it all goes as easy as today.

Been MIA. Posted new pic
It seems life flashed by since the time I spent in Hershey with pink sisters. The picture is not the best (hubby took it) but I'm the one in the middle. Many times I was unable to get on the website, but try to check in occasionally. I look at fb pink sisters more often. We were without power for 8 days starting with the…

Made Traci' brownies today for my Bible study group and served with (Publix) pumkin pie ice cream and they were a big hit with all the ladies! I kinda cheated as Trader Joe's is about an hour away, so I used Dunkin Hines Decadent Brownie mix and a Kroger brand Pumpkin Bread mix and they turned out great. Thanks Traci for a…
