June, Linda, Odie, Sandi, peggy, paula, deb, sherry, kay...thanks for your kind words...I did take Mudpie in this afernoon and after reading her blood results from Thursday , looking into her eyes, thinking about the past 18 months and listening to the vet, I said good bye to her.....19 years....got her when I lived in a household of three women, a boy and four cats...she lived through a number of moves, my relationship and break up....breast cancer, heart attack, move again...more heart break...and she purred through it all...constantly...even last night she was purring...just had no muscle control of her legs and the vet said her CREA was 751....too high for rehydration to do much good....quality of life - not much....time to say good bye....sad sad day...
Peg, I hope the motrin and wet heat helps. Scary to hear those words but glad your doc was able to reassure you.
Merry Christmas all. I head to Ottawa tomorrow for a week and doubt I will be on this thread while I am away. Hugs to all. Thanks for always being there and for being so supportive of all that goes on with all of us..what a gift you all are.
love you June!

Oh Sandee - I am so sorry. As many have written here, animals are very dear to my heart, and I work at Best Friends Animal Society in Utah, which is one of the most gorgeous places ever. I'll think of you and Mudpie when I'm back at work on Sunday.
Sad sad purrs,
Jenn

Tink and June......so glad you are feeling better!!!!!!
Enjoy the holidays!!Sandee.....dang it.....my heart broke when I read that about mudpie... ( I know you will miss her so much! And it brings tears to my eyes also because I have one that is 16 and lately she has been not doing so great....knowing our precious ones don't live forever just hurts. Wish we could have them a lifetime!!! My arms are around you sweety!!!!
Everyone have a Very Very Merry and Joyful Christmas!! Enjoy your family and friends!!!
I am working tonight but will be home before them grandbabies dig into their presents! The highlight of my Christmas!! Even the 5 and 7 yr olds said they didnt' wanna open presents till nannie got home!! awhhhhhhh they are so precious!!!!Love and hugs to all of you!!!!!!!
and bdavis....welcome! I do believe that the hot flashes for some are worse than for others, and some don't even have them! About all the SE's for the tammy are so different but some the same for all of us. Wish there was a way you could tell what will happen!!
Nite Nite ladies!!

HI, Everyone!
First Happy holidays! May we all continue to have blessings (and nothing more than minor problems) in the coming year. May we continue to be such good support for each other. I haven't been able to come on the computer much lately (swamped with work and kids off from school!!!!!) but it was so good to read a lot of good news. In this business, I think good news for one feels like good news for all. In hard times and good times, I'm glad that we can be there for each other.
Sandee, I'm so sorry for your loss. 19 years is a long time.
bdavis, welcome. Not much to say about SE's except that I've found that watching my diet and eating as healthy as possible seems to impact them a bit (no white flour, less sugar, lots of water seems to help.) Re aches, I find that taking fish oil helps. Attitude is key. I see tamoxifen as a friend, keeping this nasty disease at bay, and that allows me to appreciate it rearing it's head, even if it is in the form of SEs. I think venting to others helps the most, though:)
I've got my appt w my MO on January 8, but am not terribly nervous. Just had clear mammogram, so I've decided I'm going to try and see what it feels like to see this as a routine 'healthy' check up, now that I'm 1.6 years from dx. Up til now every visit to her has been a major xanax event, but I'm doing this head trip experiment, trying to morph into one of those women who goes to the MO once every six months because she HAD breast cancer. I do have to talk to her about whether or not she'll want me to switch from tamoxifen to an AI now that I've had the ooph, but I don't think she will. Last time I was there (6 mos ago) I had just started the lupron shots, and she said to stay on tami. I would like to, as the devil I know is preferable to the devil I don't, for now. Overall, but for HFs and aches and pains, fatigue and some hair thinning, I'm really ok on tamoxifen and would like to stay on it as long as possible. Will keep you posted.
Enjoy the season! Shari

Oh Sandee, I'm so sorry to hear about Mudpie. It's never easy to say goodbye, no matter what the circumstances, but this time of year makes it even harder. We've lost a few pups over the past few years, including one to kidney failure when he was just 6 years old, so I know how you are feeling right now. Please take comfort in knowing that you gave Mudpie the best possible life and you gave him the greatest gift by letting him go in peace. Please take care and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you.

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah tamoxi friends. This holiday I treated myself to a beautiful hand fan to keep bedside, for easy low tech relief from minor flashes.
My wishes for a happy and healthy year to all!

I was told by my oco doctor odds were low. The other pills were horrilbe, I couldnt walk so have to deal with this one. I have lost weight and didnt know that was side effect through something else was wrong, thanks for mentioning it, I would say the depression is bad but knowing what causes it helps a little, I suffered from depression before bc. Its the one I have to stay with and no more surgeries unless absolutely.needed.

Sandd - so sorry to hear about Mudpie. It is always hard to lose a pet especially one you had for that long.

Sandie so sorry to read about mudpie. The furbabies are like our family and its so hard to do what you had to do. Just know that you were thinking of the very best for her and know she is watching over you always!
Well all its been a wild Christmas for sure. I hope all went well for everyone. I am glad we came down to my father in laws for Christmas because he was so happy that we did. Everytime the boys werent around he would just gush and tell me how much it meant to him that we came down here for Christmas. I did miss my family for sure, but know that it meant that much to him, made up for it.
Well now the packing begins. Thank goodness its time to put the decorations up. I can only handle them for so long, then I want them up and outa site.

Sandee, so sorry about Mudpie.It is never easy to lose a friend, and the holidays are the worst. You were so unselfish to let her go. I hope you have/had a good trip and lots of love. "See" you when you get back!

Sandee so sorry about mudpie. My kitty is 13 years old and I know that at some time I will have to face the same thing.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Paula so glad your FIL was so excited about you guys being there.
I think I am going to have to break down and call my PCP tomorrow. You all know I have been in PT for my pec muscle and shoulder. Well about three weeks ago my neck started hurting. I have told PT and they have been trying to work with it very carefully. Anyway over this weekend it has gotten considerable worse. I have been on pain pills all weekend and they really are not helping. Last night when we got home I decided to try one of DH muscle relaxers to see if it may be the muscles. Took it last night and this morning and it did nothing for the pain. I am really worried about it. It is right below where I broke my neck years ago. The pain is so bad that I cannot tell if it is in my spine or the muscle and it is getting worse not better. I am scheduled for the pain Dr and MO on the 13th but I know I can't wait until then so am calling my PCP in the morning. Hopefully we can figure out what is going on here.

Sherry - So sorry you are still in pain. I would definitely call the PCP in the morning. I sure hope you can get some answers and much needed relief. Please keep us posted. Maybe try calling the pain doctor and see if he can get you in earlier. No one should have to live with the kind of pain you are having to endure.

Hello ladies,
Is there anybody who recently quit taking tamoxifen? I've been off a week and feel wicked-mental and have a constant headache. I didn't have one problem taking it, nothing. I couldn't even tell I was taking anything, no side effects whatsoever. Now, coming off is a completely different story! I feel terrible. I had my first period last week and it was the worst ever. I feel nauseous pretty much all the time now as well. When will this go away? HELP!
I'm 37 years old - Stage II invasive DC in 2006 - Stage 0 DCIS 2011 - DM in September this year. Recon in Feb - woohoo!

I don't think I count - my oncologist switched me from Tamoxifen to Arimidex about 5 months ago. But I'm sorry you're having such a rough time!
Purrs,
Jenn
