Hi! I saw my onc the other day and all is good! I don't see him for 1 year now and then that will be it! Breaks my heart, it does! LOL! I will be seeing my reg DR about whether or not I should take something since I am no longer on tamoxifen. I was suppose to finish it till July, but I am not going to. I really don't think that 3 mo is going to be so important, and I just want to stop now.
he other news is that I saw my rhuematologist for my 2nd appt and I have Ankylosing Spondylitis. It is arthritis effecting the spine. I guess that is why my hips hurt so much too. I really hope it does not progress, but it has already gotten worse over time so I don't know. I do have the HLA-B27 gene inherited from one of my parents. Oh goodie. You can have the gene and not have AS, so I hope if I passed it on to my kids they don't get it. I am now reading all I can about this, and found a message board that deals with it and is quite active. These boards are so good for learning =) and making great friends! Anyway, if any of you have any knowledge of this, please let me know as I am still in the learning phase. At least I know now that I am not just a "whimp" and really do have a reason to hurt so much. The Arthrotec is working well thought, thank God, so I hope it continues! Well love you all! Gail
