This is good info, thank you. I am going to put the bc in the past tense (when I speak about it) as most suggested!
Seyla, I am so happy to hear the great news after your eye doctor's appointment. It is great you stay on top of your health in a good manner.
On a different note, I wanted to ask if you or anyone had experienced vision blurriness while having the Chemo/Herceptin (as I am having currently). I feel as though my vision is slightly blurred when I look at things far away. I am back in to the oncs at the end of the week and will mention it, but thought I would check in with all of you as well.

Sometimes when its appropriate I say <I'm a breast Cancer Survivor.
one step....I read some other posts that Herceptin might cause vision problems as you described. All I can tell you I had issues to see the people,s faces if they were far away and no my eyesight was fine. Ask your DR for peace of mind.

Okay Sisters i really don't know what to do or what to fix with the Tree Picture.
I can see it where it supposed to be.
When this problem started right after I changed the pix or the last few days/
Keep me posted if you cant see it where it belongs maybe I should replace it with a new one.

Thanks, Seyla, for the info. Also, I just checked out the drug interaction site you posted last night. That is helpful.
PS-I can see the tree great. I like it, too!

Hello Ladies - Back from my visit to the onc. Got my script for Femara - since I had problems with Arimidex, he gave me a 30 day sample bottle to try before I spend any money. Had labs done and an exam. Everything went well. Don't have to have a mammo until summer. Follow up with onc every 4 months.
YEAH! NO MORE DR APPTS FOR 4 MONTHS! Seems like that is all I have done for the past 4 months is live in a doctors office. The break will be good.
Have A Great Day.

Congrats, Jo! What a nice thing to get a break. BUT, you have challenged me and I have been working my tush off! Here is the result:
Due to Jo's inspiration, I took the quilt top in the foreground out and machine quilted it over the past few days. It now just lacks the binding which will come soon. It is the matching sofa quilt to the Around the block quilt in the background. I made that for Dh the month we got engaged. It is amazing the support and encouragement we get for anything here on BC.org. Thanks to every one of you!

Congratulations, Jo, on no Dr. visits for 4 months. That does sound just lovely! And Meece, that is a gorgeous quilt! My sister-in-law quilts and has also done some beautitul pieces. It is a skill I have never learned. So I will be content to admire the work of others!

Yikes, I went to see my rad onc and was hoping to lose him for good but NOOOOO. I had to have mastitis and had to go see him a week later and now once every 3 months.
I REALLY do not like him. Wednesday is the 6 month surgeon visit. I do like him but I think he will cut me loose. YAY! So the rad onc wants me to see a ENT doc for my throat raspiness. I am trying to get RID of doctors but it seems now I am getting more of them not less. UGH! I am waiting until after my cruise (end of Jan.). Can't deal with any news until after that. 0 -
jo...Im glad its over for at least another 4 months.
We will be Femara sisters
0 -
Barbara...Think Cruise. And if some unpleasant Doctor needs to be Slapped we take turns.
Hugs

Thanks, Sheila. Thinking cruise.

BarbaraA - I will be more than happy to slap your rad onc around. I hated mine too but I don't have to go back. The only dr appts I now have is with the onc. Have lots of fun on your cruise.
Sheila - I am going to start the Femara tonight. Just gonna go for it - was thinking about waiting until Jan.

(((JO))) good luck with the femara! I am heading for my chair and my faux mink blankie. It is FREEZING here. High today was 50. 0

Go for it jo.

Meece-The quilts are beautiful. You are most talented.
I have a question that may sound dumb, but here goes...Has anyone with tissue expanders noticed themselves being colder than usual? I am rarely too cold, but since BMX with TE placement, I am freezing most of the time. Am I the only one?
0 -
I don't know about TEs, but implants make your breast(s) colder. At least that's my experience. There is no blood flow into that area so your body can't warm it as effectively.

Hey ladies hope everyone stayed warm today in the deep freeze. It was snowing like crazy this morning here in the deep south of Northern Alabama... with a high of 19 with the wind chill!! Brrr!!! We actually had snow yesterday too. Go figure!
Well, for those of you that aren't my friends on some other website, I received some disturbing news today. I got a call from my Rad Onc... I had a chest xray done last week and they found a Spiculated Opacity on the middle lobe of my right lung which is directly behind where I have radiation and breast cancer. The nurse told me "he thinks it's scar tissue" but to be sure they want me to have a CT of the chest done, so I'm going in tomorrow morning at 9:45 a.m. to his office and get it done. They won't have the results till late tomorrow or Weds morning. I've tried to google this and find out something about it, but with little luck. If any of you can help me out I would appreciate it. All I could find was that spiculated means finger like projections and is suspicious of cancer or scar tissue.
Please keep me in your prayers... for a B9 results!!!
Renee
