Can you take Tamoxifen? If you can....that may be another option for you. I am on Tomoxifen and will be for about 2 1/2 years and then switch to Arimidex.

Hope you research more before throwing in the towel.

Love,

When my hair started to loosen up and was easy to pull from the scalp I took the scissors to my long hair. I cut it down to 1/2 an inch and felt like Mia Farrow. I did this by myself in my bathroom...telling no one. It was a very empowering moment in my life. I never had hair shorter than by shoulders......so this could have been traumatic...but was not. I came out of the bathroom with my cute headscarf on. My family was surprised when they saw me...but I told them it was something I had to do myself. Everything else was being done TO ME.....by......DOCTORS....NURSES.....TECHS...etc. I did not want my family members to be sad when they saw my hair go away.......I was protecting them.......and me.

As the days went by I would go out every morning and rub my head all over and watch the little hairs fly away in the breeze. I would then put my scarf back on. My girlfriend told me later after I had cut my own hair that she shaved her head but that she didn't like the crunch sound from the stiff little hairs. I don't know if others heard crunching when they shaved their heads....but that was her story.

I also took some pictures just before I cut my hair........when I look back at the photos from that day....I looked so sad. Today I make sure to always SMILE in all of my photos......I feel so much more ALIVE and never want to leave a sad face photo for any of my family albums.

Good luck on your decision.

Love,

She was always on the boards....very helpful. Hope someone comes along soon to solve this.

Terry 

I also want to send a warm THANK YOU to Tender........your name expresses it all!

Love Always,

Ladies.....I just bumped up the thread "Results on CYP2D6 Test".........this is the test to see how well you metabolize Tamoxifen.

 Love,

LuAnn,

I didn't post much on the threads......but I hold nothing personal against anyone who posted their own thoughts or beliefs. I'm a big girl......and I grew up in a house of 5 sisters, 1 brother, 1 mother, and 1 military father. Even today we have our own opinions about who should be President.......but we put all of that behind us after the election. We elect a President and then it is up to Washington to show their true colors......I am never disappointed...........(sarcasm).

So......I hope my couple of statements will not be held against me.........because.......I have moved on. And....... should I need to discuss Political Topics........I will just post them on one of my Political Blogs that I read now and then.

Sending Everyone All-of-My-Love,

Terry 

Thomas Jefferson also advised, "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of the laborer the bread he has earned. This is the sum of good government. …"

The statement above speaks volumes..................I think I will stay away from CHANGE.

Why is Obama asking for a Civilian National Security Force......that will be as strong as our current MILITARY? We already have the National Guard, FBI, Homeland Security Department,  City Police,  and Civilian Militia. The last Country to have a Civilian National Security Force was Germany before WW2. Remember the HILTER YOUTH and the SS????

I can just see OBAMA enrolling all types of Americans and Paying them to join his little ARMY of Communists.......and then he will be able to be their GREAT LEADER (messiah complex). Don't be a bit surprise if they start with the education of your children.....enrolling them in the OBAMA YOUTH group (yes the group will have OBAMA as part of the goup's name). The YOUTH will listen to everything MOM and DAD says and report back to NEIGHBORHOOD COMRADS.....or COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.....and then this CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE will just bring you in for QUESTIONING and to determine if you may need to be sent to a RE-EDUCATION CAMP....to get your thought process in better alignment.

COMRAD OBAMA is a LITTLE RED DIAPER DOPER BABY: The children of leftist intellectual baby boomers, raised from birth on Marxism and a drug tolerant environment, and now in places of political and intellectual influence.
