How I'm Dealing with Hair Loss
I posted this idea a few days ago and received such an overwhelming show of support from you all that I finally did it! I had been told (by men) that my idea was in bad taste.

Starting tamoxifen tomorrow
I'm 55 and pre-menopausal, although with the chemo I've just completed (a month ago) the Dr. says I'm in "clinical menopause". In reading all the info on tamoxifen I'm wondering, who out there is in the 50-60 group using or has used tamoxifen and how did it effect you? The side effects sound pretty serious - esp. if you…
