    What's the saying?

    He who laughs last has not yet heard the bad news? (Or heard they have the flu or some worse bug)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to remember the stats concerning the AI drug.  Drawing blank....book of papers 6" so not going there right now.  What I do remember is for that same diagnosis and Onco score of 13, my chances of recurrence were 7% without chemo and 5% with chemo.  That's a different stat though, based on onco.

    (((((Granny))))) you know we are here.

    You have been on my mind so much, (( K )).....

    I will be with you..... While you are waiting through your son's surgery, just take a moment to lean back in your chair in the waiting room, take a slow, deep breath and remember all of us are right there with you, okay? Draw your strength from that, from us, all right?

    Huggggs ♥

    Joan811 - I just know that my MO told me my chance of recurrance with them is 6%, 11% w/o them. The cancer math site gives me an extra 7 months with the drugs. Not much of a edge considering all the risks associated with them, IMHO. I"m going with natural supplements and diet at this point.

    Whoa winter has finally arrived. 14* with -11* chill index, horizontal snow, black ice, and snow funnels. Looks like it's going to be a good day to stay indoors.

    Sheila, guess we can't complain about the cold today; but wait - their weather always comes our way...
    Mini, Moonflwr, brrrrrrr - be safe

    The snow looks beautiful today.

    Mini, I know those stats are not easy to convert to an absolute decision.  I wish you the best with the natural path. 
    All I know is my body makes cancer; I kept my breast; I'm taking the drug.  And I know it may not make any difference but I decided to take it.  I will see how I feel in another year if I have hair/bone loss etc.

    Stay warm, northeners!

    -10* this morning when we woke up. Brrr.
    I go back and forth with the meds. I tried at first but had SE's bad enough that they have them listed as allergies for me. I keep saying I'm going to try the Tamox, but I'm scared of the SE's. I am not being a wuss here. I could deal with some discomfort and minor SE's but I had lots of bad ones. I know mine is not the coventional path, but accrding to my stats, 89% of the people survive w/o the drugs. It has to be someone, so why not me? I know it's not the conventional path, but it is my choice. For now anyway.
