Thank you for answering my questions. Hang in there, don't worry about the hair thing, it has become so acceptable due to the popularity of BC. Not that any of us really wanted to join this club. As always, we are all here for each other. Kathryn0 -

So, you took tamox for 5 years Dee? It seems so many on here with recurrences took the hormone therapy.

Yes it does seem that quite a few women here have taken the 5 year therapy and still had recurrance. I guess we just need to fight and hope for the best.
I must admit though, that when I've had 2 bad experiences with Femara and Arimidex, my third one, Aromasin is looking like a a hard road to bear. I will start it on the 23rd. I'll keep you all posted. Hoping for the best.0 -

Many Warriors here .. including myself are driving into stat's regarding stat's - recurrence. It's not fair, it's not right .. I think we paid our dues to the Cancer Devil -- We should not float thru the balance of our lives -- barefoot and fancy free.

I just want to say I never had Tamoxifen or lymph node involvement. My tumor was caught quick, it had no blood vessels or nerve endings attached upon removal. Mine was considered non hormonal but I can never have any hormone supplements. Regardless of what we all go through there never seems to be an end to it. I just wish you the best in your new endevor.
