can we have a survey.......how many of us work (after chemo, etc) but may be on arimidex, etc.?
I am just wishing that I could go ahead and retire, but $$$ it is not feasible. Loving my job isn't enough for me anymore. I long to have less stress, and more flexibility with doctor's appts.-- and some plain, old, "me" time. Repeated UTIs, fevers, antibiotics, that they are still trying new approaches, a kidney stone…

I'm a little worried about my neck...
Some of you may remember that I began to have neck pain after I started arimidex, so I figured it was the arimidex. The pain is a dull right sided ache that was intermittent. It is now no longer intermittent. It hurts all of the time, no matter what I do. I am now having trouble turning my head to the right--it is hard to…

Hi Pinks, Sorry for taking so long to update :(
Hi Pinks, I want to say sisters, but we have some brothers on here to and I'm sure they don't mind being addressed as "pinks" after all, real men wear pink, right? As with Laurissa, this Carbo/Gem has been really tough. I'm currently down to just the Gemzar because the Carboplatin has broke my blood down so bad that I've…
