tamoxifen and antideppresentsI was also on zoloft before tamoxifen for hot flashes. zoloft can interfere with the metabolism of zoloft, myonc swithced me to effexor which does not interfer, and I actually find works better. Dx 3/20/2008, DCIS, 2cm, Stage 0, Grade 2, /0 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2- |

May galshi everyone! I am on tx 13 today. been using aquaphor, hate it! no redness yet but prickly itchy rash. weather has been warm here and coumpounded by my hot flashes making the rash worse. decided to use hydrocortosone with aloe in it, don't even know if that is ok but it sure felt better. I'm surprised by how much I really hate going to radiation. Dx 3/20/2008, DCIS, 2cm, Stage 0, Grade 2, /0 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2- |

May galshi may rad girls! started rads yesterday. nurse said just use aloe gel for now, aquaphor if I get pink. not sure the aloe feels like enough moisture. was more nervous than I expected. I have a good size seroma that has not reabsorbed, worried about that. love the name max rad made me laugh. good luck to all on our journey Dx 3/20/2008, DCIS, 2cm, Stage 0, Grade 2, /0 nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2- |
