    Sandee - Your BS sounds alot like mine thank goodness. It is a blessing when the doctor is a real person first not just a physician. I am so glad she was able to make the right choice for you and sounds like she plans to be right there with you all the way...I am so sorry about your friends mom; that really sucks...((hugs))

    Paula M- GREAT news!!!! I am sooo happy for you, what a wonderful Christmas present.

    Shari - We will be there with you tomorrow just as quickly as Tink can fly!!

    Jenn - With brownies, you could be my new bff, ha ha!!!

    Well I am off to do some holiday shopping today. Hope everyone has a great Friday... TGIF!!!

    Sandee so glad your Dr knows you so well and gave the insight that you needed to be able to get off this medication.  I know others on the boards that have gotten off the meds and are taking DIM and Myomin to keep the estadial levels low.  You might want to check into those.  Also so  sorry about your friends mom.  When someone dies of cancer it just brings it too close to home for all of us.

    Paula-I saw your knews on FB and was so happy for you that all was clear.  Did he say anything else about the pain that you have been having this last year or did taking the nodes out help that as well?

    I was looking at my calendar yesterday and just realized that I don't have any Dr appts until Jan the 13th.  So glad I have December free and did not even realize it. haha  Also I was sleeping so terrible with the tamox that I started taking Lunesta every night.  I decided two nights ago to try taking an extra melatonion and 1/2 a Lunesta to see how it worked and I have slept fine the last couple of days.  so think over the weekend I'm going to try to go without it and see how I sleep.  Would really like not to take it. But I am hard to live with when I am lacking sleep.

    Tink - that would be me with the brownies.  I can't fly, so feel the need to feed everyone.  The brownies are ridiculously chocolatey, but not very sweet.  I make them for all occasions!

    Chocolate Purrs,

    Paula - What great news.  Now you can relax and enjoy the holidays.

    Good Morning to all my Tammi friends - Haven't been posting much lately - super busy at work.  For all the newbies - this is a fantastic place to be.  We can be serious when we need to  but watch out - we do tend to get wild and crazy from time to time.

    BlueCowgirl - I'm a horse person too.  Love your headshot.  I was the same way.  Had the bottle of Tamoxifen for almost a month before i could bring myself to take it.  I took a half-pill for almost the first month - once i started taking the whole - didn't feel any different.  I had calf and foot cramps almost immediately - within the first 30 minutes, that and i started waking up at night with hotflashes - and a few other common ones.  I'm pretty used to it now.  Many here have very few SEs.  I'm going to take Shari's and Paula's advice and put my sneakers on and start exercising and eating better - i think it may help.  Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

    CarolineNC, you should check out the horsefolks thread HORSE LOVERS UNITE! Lots of great photos, videos, kindred spirits. Thanks for the welcome and glad your SEs haven't been too bad. No SEs for me yet...was already having hot flashes, and they haven't become noticeably worse.

    sgreenarch:    Thank you! AND that is a great saying!!!! Love it!

    Blue Cowgirl: Welcome to somewhere as they say that no one wants to be, but since we have to be here, it is the BEST place to be when going thru this cancer mess, The women on here are so so very supportive and awesome!!!!! I KNOW I couldn't have gotten thru alot of this last year without them!!   Mine started over a year ago, and on Dec 9th, 2010 I had three biopsies in one breast....then a lumpectomy,. now a year later, a scare: having four nodes taken out, and still have more tests they are running on me. BUT one step at a time, one inch at a time! I cannot get past that amount of time.....I have to go that pace!!  And these ladies have been with me throughout the whole journey!!

    Shipmom:  Thank you so much!!!

    Paula66! Yep!! Time to party,,, good news...birthday...Christmas....bring out the hats, pillows, wine or whatever everyone is drinking and let's get a good one goin'!!!! :)

    Panmars..Thank you so much! That is COLD!!!!! And I thought here in KS was cold...not compared to that!!!

    Mama V! Thank you sweety, and here's you ANOTHER HUG!!!!! :)

    Odie, YES and great BIRTHDAY and CHRISTMAS present!!

    Sherry,   thank you hon!! Yes, he did, he is going to send me to a Breast Specialist but does not want me doing anything else until after the first of the year, he said maybe middle of Jan, early Feb. he wants me to heal up after all this first, and take a break. I have the CT scan results from last week to find out about too this next Monday.... stomach and pelvic area, then I am taking a break!!     This has drained me so much I need to re-energize!! And I ain't no bunny!!! heheee

    Jo: Thank you muches!!

    June: Thank you!! I know and understand fully!! And IT breaks my heart to read every time I come on here about someone else.....but if there had to be someone to help give HOPE!! I guess I am glad I could do that!  We ALL need hope!!!!

    Caroline! Thank you so much!!!

    June: Dern.....missed the martini's......choc chip cookies and the pillow fight........well, loratab and sleep had to get in my way....had to work last night, and tonight.

    Peg: Thank you so very much!!

    Ladies.....I will always be greatful to each and every one of you!!!  LOVE AND HUGS!!!!
