HRT link to ILCI took HRT for about 8 years (doc recommended it for osteoporosis) and in Apr. 2005 a new GP said...yikes...you have been taking that stuff for far too long...the 2000 woman's health initiative...etc...and she told me to stop taking HRT. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular in May 2005...go figure... Dx 2005, ILC, <1cm, Stage I, Grade 2, 0/3 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2+ |

Has anyone been in a long distance relationship?We live near SeattleWA now, our house in FL got hit by Hurricane Charley in 2004...we are trying to move back to New England but the real estate market is not what it used to be and our house has been on the market for a while. We did not like living in FL at all, VERY homophobic legally, although we never had any problems personally. How "long distance" is the woman you are interested in?

Has anyone been in a long distance relationship?I met my partner after I moved to Florida from VT in 2001. I didn't know a soul in FL so went online hoping for a few friends...and wouldn't ya know, met the love of my life. Coincidentally we grew up 15 miles apart...our childhood in MA, then lived 40 miles apart for about 20 years in NH and VT, then lived 60 miles apart in FL...we have been together since Oct. 2001, and now live in the Pacific NW. We communicated by email and phone for about a month before we ever saw each other face to face. Wonders never cease! Dx 2005, ILC, <1cm, Stage I, Grade 2, 0/3 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2+ |
