Hi Everyone I read Jomama's memorial day post and I want to have fun this weekend and feel normal once again. So that said I have a question. Are hot tubs safe for BC patients?

I made a mistake
Hey guys, I made a mistake on here and I don't know how I can fix it. Yesterday I tried to put Moopy on my friends list,was able to do it-but while I was trying to (and I probably hit a key that I shouldn't have)it said that Moopy was taken off of a friend's list(probably meaning mine). You know how when you get a personal…

Hello all, Well, tomorrow it will have been 2 wks. since my surgery.

Tamoxifen treatement
I’m 48 and was diagnosed with breast cancer this last March. By the end of March, I had the operation. Thank god, it was only one centimeter and grade one and estrogen positive. I’m getting ready for my radiology treatment, and I’m debating taking Tamoxifen. I have been reading about its side effects. I wander if lowering…

Tongue in cheek
This part is real. I was just reading that arimidex is used by atheletes along with steroids. It seems that tamoxifen is also used but that arimidex is better for stacking because of it does more than block the estrogen. I am always amazed at the stupidity of people. All this to be bigger, stronger, and perform better. And…

Bfbear's Good News!
OK!!! In spite of the tumor being unusually large, it was just DCIS, and lots of DCIS, in the left breast. Everything in the right breast was benign, as suspected. Left nodes were clear, too. So...no chemo, no radiation for me, yipee!! Great news....but I have to admit that as elated as I am, I have a bit of "survivor's…

Hi all
Hi all, This is my first time to visit this website. It was impossible that I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 24 (one and half year ago). I was scared and I cried a lot last year. I had 8 weeks for chemo and 33 radiations. Now, I'm done with all treatments but still taking Tamoxifen in 5 years. Does anyone know the…

How about Tykerb/xeloda?

communication
We lived about three years in Kentucky years ago. We liked going to drive-in theaters because it was a good value. Since we were new to the area we stopped at a gas station and asked where the 'out door' was. That's what we called a drive-in theater. The attendant (this was when they came out to the car to pump your gas…

Lymphodema question
During my surgery the DR. accidently cut a vein while removing the lymph nodes. It caused a huge hematoma that took forever to clear up and they are very concerned about my developing problems with lymphodema. So far it's just numbness and tingling...no swelling or soreness, and I have full range of motion with the…
