Well, my first visit after tx with the oncologist was last Tuesday, and today I had my first mammogram. All is clear! What a great way to celebrate the holidays. The doctor has changed me to Tamoxifen, so will begin that tonight. Hoping it won't be too bad, as I had a tough time with Femara. Just wanted to share the good news. Thanks for being such a good group of people to read about, listen to, and seek advice. Maybe I can be of some help to another bc survivor.

    Great news!
    Congratulations Judy!!! And Happy, Happy Holidays to you and yours!
    By the way, I was on Tamoxifen for 7 years with no terrible side effects, but be sure to report anything 'different' to your doctor. Adjustments can be made. For example, I hear that some women do better when they take half in the morning and half at night. Good luck!

    Congrats on finishing treatment and for the clear mamo. It's a great feeling isn't it?

    I was on Tamoxifen and had no side effects from it. I took mine at bedtime. Hope you do better with it than you did with the Femara.

    Thanks for sharing your good news. You made me smile. See you have already helped another bc survivor!

    Hugs

    The 3 best letters in the English language! Congratulations, you've already gotten the best present of all!

    I have to share a great little poem written by Alice Warder Seely who made a pin a friend gave me to celebrate finishing chemo and rads---

    Life's Rider

    The Ride was long and
    hard and I lost my
    dreams along the way.

    When I arrived, I found
    them waiting.

    Perfect for all of us as the light at the end of the tunnel!

    Thank you for sharing your good news, it lifted my day!
