Wow What a great group of people. I have just found this web page and I was the one asking about hot flashes. I got a lot of sugestions but I have tried them all. My doctor told me to stay away from anything that will make my body to produce estrogen like black cohosh, soy products ect. I am taking 150mg of effexor but the problem with that is I have just gotten married for the first time and effexor + hystorectomy= 0 sex drive. so I am now trying clonidine and it is working some.
Like I stated in my first message I was dignosed in August of 1999 my tumor was 4cm and I had 17 postive nodes out of 25. I got my results from my last lab work and chest xray yesterday and there is still no sign of cancer. I have another question I need to ask. Due to the farmers feeding cows and chickens hormones, do you feel this is causing cancer? Like I said I was 35 when I was dignosed and not scheduled to have a mamagram for anther 5 years. I believe we should be screening women at a early age, due do more and more women is having cancer at an earlier age. what do you think? Hope to hear from all of you again. when I learn how to navigate through this web site I will be more active in discussions. wanda

Wanda,
I am like you, I was diagnosed at a young age. I was only 24 at diagnosis almost one year ago. I am still cancer free, but still in treatment. I don't know anything about the farmers feeding the chickens and things hormones. I hope that you are doing well. I just had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and so far the clonidine patch is doing great for me. Hope that all is going well!

hey wanda...i was diagnosed with cancer about your age and had never had a mammogram. i wish i had had one earlier. if i had waited for a mammogram diagnosis, my cancer would have been far too advanced. but i wanted to let you know what i am doing in the meat area. i am not taking any chances as my cancer has returned, so i am not eating any beef or chicken that is not organic (which we get from a health store near our home) and i am not consuming any milk products. since not consuming these things, my tumor markers have been going down each time. (we are doing a lot of other things, too). it's a very easy thing i can do that is proactive and has had positive results for me. take care wanda and God bless...april0
