I had a needle biopsy in 2005 and it hurt like hell. I can't remember if it was sore afterwards because I they surgically went in to take out the lump. I'm currently taking gabapentin for neuropathy,...
I still stop by and read posts. But I'm back with my own sad news. I have been diagnosed with Mantle cell lymphoma. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. This is not something I wanted to hear...
I gained weight period... I was on weight watchers during Tamoxifen. I have been. I got tired of dieting and gained almost all my weight back. Mine wasn't due to the drug. I don't think you will drop...
I became a 6 year survivor on 12/29/11....
How is your brother doing?...
I lost mine during chemo and they never came back. I was on Tamoxifen for 5 years. I have been on Armidex for a year and they still haven't come back. I hate it! I have to pencil in brows and then I...
Congrats on being a survivor!...
I found out mine developed before I started taking Arimidex. Mine is in my left thumb, I am right handed. Just recently too (left hand also) my thumb, 1st & middle finger have more of a tingling...
Ok, so now that I have found out I'm on Arimidex instead of Femera..... anyone here on it? What if any side effects have you had? In the last couple of weeks my first 2 fingers have gotten more...
I did a little research to see if the arimidex can cause trigger finger, because I ended up with it in my thumb about a month after I started taking it....
I get my prescription filled automatically every month from Kmart. So I go to pick it up this evening and it was only $16 & change. I have been paying $45.45 since April. I wasn't going to say...
I have been good. Still cancer free after almost 6 years. I know I don't come over here much. I try to forget I ever had this disease. But I am reminded of it every morning getting ready for work...
What is the latest on Jo Ann? This topic is the last one I see....
I haven't been here in a long time. I stopped the Tamoxifen in February and just started generic Femara 2 weeks ago. I didn't have any side effects with the Tamoxifen other than the hair on my legs...
I jusy got off of it 2 months ago after 5 years. I didn't have any kind of side effects. /community/emoticons/turn.gif ...
I really didn't have any side effects that I was aware of. I just eventually got tired from the chemo treatments themselves....
God Bless her. She is with the rest of the BC angels. :(...
I haven't posted in a long time but lurk every once in a while. I have reahed my 4 year milestone. My mammo's have been clear, but there's always that wonder in my mind. I hope everyone is doing well....
I have been on it since 1/06. I experienced a lot of hot flashes for about a year, but it seems to have pretty much gone away. I get one once in a while. My eyebrows still haven't grown back and the...
I got a lot of nice gifts. Money being the best. But it wasn't such a great holiday for me. I had to put my 13 year old beagle down on 12/13, then my mom's companion has been in the hospital since...
"some" smell. I can't explain it. It didn't really stink it was just weird. ...
Hang in there. That's why I'm afraid of buying a house. They have started doing layoffs at my job (whihc they have never done before) and I'm really scared I will be one of them. Unemployment doesn't...
I tried it......... it made my stomach hurt....
I tried Chantix and it didn't work for me. I may try the Commit lozenges. I just wish the cramping in my toes would stop. It's usually when I have my legs propped up on the coffee table watching tv....
! My cholesterol and whatever it is they call it for being diabetic all came down. I'm actually gong to stop taking the cholesterol meds in about[b] 1 month. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif [/color]...
Is anyone suffering from this since chemo. It's been 2 years since chemo for me and I still haven issues with it. My Onc did say because I smoke that may be why I still have it. It's not as bad in my...
It's 2 years for me. ...
I was the same way. And the closer it got for me to do chemo, it got worse. I guess it's natural. The fear of the unknown. I had issues real bad about losing my hair. I still don't have my eyebrows...
Who comes up with these things? Everything gives you cancer. I believe it's dormant in all of us and it just takes something(s) to make it become active. Not quite sure how else to word that. My dad...
This week will be my last Zoladec shot after 2 years. I am really hoping my period won't come back. I can only assume I have gone thru menopause. I have hot flashes but that's also 1 of the side...
I haven't been here much lately. Hope she is doing well....
It has been 2 years for me. It's been a long haul. ...
I'm in Rockville MD and I had some pretty good doctors/surgeons/Oncs etc out of Silver Spring MD. I can give you names if you're close to ths area. Email me at [email protected] ...

And no question is dumb. [img]/community/emoticons/smile.gif [/color]...
5 inches now. It came back almost afro like right at the front and very curly at the back, but that has straightened out some. My hair was wavy before all this. It's kind of thin on top. I need to...

Lots of luck. I am thinking of you....

yesterday or the day before where it got to be in the 20's but the freakin' wind was blowing. It's going to gradually go up in the 30's by tomorrow and thru the weekend. I don't like cold weather....
I am constantly thinking of you. /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
Oh Bernadette. I'm so sorry to hear this. I am at a loss for words. We're here for you, I'm sure you know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted. ...

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I pray that it is nothing. I don't blame ou for not wanting to go through any of that again....
My hair came back really curly at the front and the back. But since it is a little longer now it's not as curly. I need to get it cut. I haven't had my first cut yet and debating whether or not to...
