I thought it might be fun to start a thread on what we are having, making or had for dinner. Sometimes it is the best tuna steak you ever had, sometimes it's a can of soup. But we all do it every night in some form or another. Maybe we can give each other ideas on what to make, or bitch about what we had, or the fact that…

I am seriously thinking about getting a mastectomy on the other side as well. Not because it will eliminate cancer on that breast, but my surgeon says this…
I stopped taking Tamoxifen last year after being on it for 10 years. I am in my early 50s and my periods while on Tamoxifen in the last couple of years were every few months and fairly light. Since going off, my periods are every 25-30 days and are very heavy for 3 days (with lighter bleeding lasting another week). My…
