    side effects?
    Hi - Chen did start up the ornament exchange again this year, Im sure if you messaged her on here she could get you in on it!
    I just started Tamoxifen a few days ago, what side effects are you having? So far I haven't noticed anything but I'm sure as with many drugs it takes a few weeks for the full effects to kick in.
    Thanks & nice to see you on here again :)
    *hugs*

    Hi stranger!!
    I see that Heather answered your question regarding the ornament exchange. It sure is nice to see you on and I am very happy to read that you are going on with your life.

    I'm also waiting to hear what side effects you are having from Tamoxifen. My onc wants to switch me to that but first wanted to test to make certain my body metabalizes it. I was surprised because I thought Tamox was for younger women, pre-menopausal.

    Take care and don't be a stranger!!

    Hi Heather
    Nice to hear from you.Your picture is beatiful.I am the type person that has bad side effects.If you remember I was allergic to the Chemo drugs they gave me.I have hot flashes really bad.I have a fan on me most of the time.Headachs and I have gained weight on it.I was on Armidex and my joints hurt so bad.It got to where when I was setting down and go to get up I could barley walk.You may not have these side effects.I Pray not.I will try to locate Chen,s address.Thanks.

    Thank you :) That blonde wig
    Thank you :) That blonde wig has saved the day for me a few times! I like it so much I just might dye my own hair blonde for a while when it comes back ;)
    I have awful hot flashes still from the chemo -is there anything you can take or do to relieve them or do we just have to live with them?
    Thanks for telling me your side effects -even the bad ones! I'm hoping that Tamoxifen will take it easy on me -i was pretty lucky to not have many side effects with chemo.
