Having Thanksgiving tomorrow here at my house. We have a large family so there will be about 45 people here. Mom called me today and was depressed and crying thinking that tomorrow my Dad won't be here. She said even if he was not feeling good he would go for a little while and have a good time because he loved being with his family. It will be good to be with family tomorrow but sad at the same time that this is the first Thanksgiving without my Dad. June I'm thinking of you too because this will be your first as well. ((((HUGS)))))

Sherry and June both........my heart goes out to you!! I know it will be rough without your dad's here for the first time at the holidays.......just remember they live in each and everyone of y'all together!
HUGS!!!!!!!!0 -
Sherry/Paula thank you!!! Yes this Holiday is going to stink, but I am going to try my hardest to put on a happy face for all around. Sherry as you know cause you are dealing with it as well, my Mom is going to make it that much harder for all of us. It saddens me everytime she brings my Dad up cause she breaks down. They finally have her seeing someone in the Nursing Home and I hope it will start helping. Anyways, girlfriends who have both parents or just one please hug them tight and enjoy each and every moment with them. And Sherry try to enjoy even though you ar going to be straight out busy. We will all be thinking of you.
Love to you all!!

Hello Tamoxifen friends,
I am new to this post but not Tamoxifen. I have taken it for almost 2 1/2 years and am on a "vacation" as recommended by Onc NP. Was having some shortness of breath, chest tightness and leg pain which now we all think was anxiety. I have never felt better since my mastectomy which was Feb. '09. I'm thinking I don't want to go back on it. Anyone here stay the full 5 years?
My biggest fear was getting a clot and I was taking baby aspirins eveyday, but I don't think my body liked that too much.
Diagnosis 1/09, IDC Stage 1, Grade 2, 7mm, 0/3nodes , ER+/PR+, HER2-, mastectomy, no chemo, no rad

Good morning my Tammy friends. Sorry I missed the pillow fight yesterday but didn't want to risk the new squishies yet.
June/SherryC - Wanted to send an extra big hug to you ladies as my husband and I have each lost parents in the past few years leaving empty spaces at the table but not in our hearts. The first of each holiday without is the hardest but bearable. May the memories & antics of years past help you thru this one. (and vino if need be ...lol)... (((Hugs))))
As June so eloquettely said, if you still have one or both your parents please take a moment to enjoy with them as they are precious and not guaranteed.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and wish safe travels for those going to visit family for the holiday.

Hello SAB, I did exactly the same thing. I stopped rads on Sept 1 and started Tamoxifen Oct 1. After almost 2 months on it I am very fatigued which is starting to cause depression most days. I stopped 4 days ago and am waiting to see how long until I get back to normal. It's been better some days and worse others. Has anyone done this. It's so hard to decide what to do. Some people have terrible side effects from T.

pjayray and ruth-- Welcome. I have not had the issues you are talking about. Have had lots of SE in the beginning but my body has finally adjusted except for the hotflashes. Really hate them but they seem to come and go.
Ladies we had our huge family Thanksgiving. Not everyone made it as some were sick or had to work but most everyone made it. We had fun but all missed Dad terribly. Mom had brought her dressing to me this morning and she just starting crying because she misses him so much. It breaks my heart. All I could do was hug her and tell her I love her. DH he is so sweet he gave her a big hug too. She made it through the day. Now I just have to keep her busy on Thanksgiving day. Thanks for all your cyberhugs.

Sherry - I'm glad it went well. I'm so sorry for your mom, I'm so glad you and your husband are there for her. Is there a support group or anything for someone in her position? Friends?
Sad Purrs,
Jenn

Hi, All,
Have been off for a bit. More wiped out by the ooph than I expected. I think having 3 major surgeries in three years is a bit much and maybe my body is protesting. I did do the unthinkable and practically check out for a week. Relaxed, slept late, took naps, let work and kids fend for themselves, and everyone seems to have survived. Good news. I am awaiting the hot flashes, though the crying jags have arrived. I am hoping this is just a temporary hormone realignment. I could stand the hot flashes (were wicked on the lupron shots for the last six months) but not sure about the tears.
To Paula, of course there in your pockets with you.
SherryC and June, I was thinking about you and Thanksgiving. I'm sure it will be hard for your Moms and all of you.
Peg, I was happy to hear about your brother. Not sure I mentioned this before or not, and hope you won't think this is too weird, but having lost a breast (which I know is vastly different than a foot) I have a different level of empathy with anyone who has lost an external body part. For sure we have different adjustments to make, but we've both lost something that we had for a long time that was a part of us. I wish him continued success. Happy to hear.
To the new ladies on tamoxifen, I wish you luck. We're all here with you. Sometimes venting helps more than anything. I have found that taking omega 3 tablets helps with the joint pain, which is so REAL! Also yoga and swimming. Actually that helps with some of the depression, too.
Impossible to catch up with everyone, so sorry, but sending good thoughts. Love the pictures. No whacking for me yet (ouch!)
Love you, Shari

Sherry, On Thanksgiving day give your mom a huge hug for me!!!!! I know how that is.....My stepdaddy passed in '98 and it still gets to my mom on holidays.....I don't live close to her, but for a few years did get to go visit around the holidays' now days only get there every few years and usually not around holidays!
Welcome to the new ones!! It's a great place here....get to know the ladies and enjoy each and every one of them!
I have so many SE's from the tammy, it is unreal...not to mention still the severe nerve pain from either the surgery or rads....plus I also have fibromyalgia which doesn't help any of it all!!
But, days go by when they are good and I only have a bit of pain, and a few hot flashes, other days I want to scream!! As I am sure we all do! Take care and come here as often as you can.To everyone else on our little tammy-train, have a good day and will talk soon!
This week is gonna be crazy!!! I am going to be cutting up bunchies of veges on Sunday(later today), then Monday cooking Red Beans and Rice and Chicken gumbo. Work Tues, and Wed, go to dr. for consult on the biopsy, then around 4 my son and his wife and baby girl come from Okla City for the babie's first birthday!! And we eat the food!!!! (My kids are half cajun and crave my cajun cookin'....don't get to do it often enough they say!!) Then Thanksgiving day, thank goodness my dil is doing most of that cooking!! I am sure I will be worn out from all the other plus working f-t on top of it all.
IF I don't get on here before then...........EVERYONE HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING and be blessed!!!!!"the other" Paula
