You mentioned your breast cancer had been Estrogen driven. Are you on Taxmoxifen (premenopausal) or Arimidex (post menopausal) which are both to treat Estrogen driven meds to be taken daily as a preventative for recurrence of estrogen driven cancer? These are usually taken for 5 to 10 years.
I have been on the Arimidex for the past 4 1/2 months. Dealing with many side effects; which deal with leg, feet pain and swelling, bone pain/joint pain, as well as fatigue and weakness and muscle pain which are just a few of the side effects. This can add to pain already dealing with; neuropathy, etc.
You can take well deserved credit for little Eva doing so well.

Dearest Gerry
Hoping this finds you well
To answer your question about the estrogen drug
I have been on tamoxifen since January 2012 and was taken off of it almost a year now because the now diagnosed Raynaud secondary
I was on it faithfully for all that time
Just was at the oncologist this past Friday
Spoke about having the ablation and having the implant surgery
My body is all over the place since stopping the tamoxifen
The estrogen in my body is at work
I on my teamage years never suffered acne
Not do I now but every once in a while I’ll get a pimple on my face have one on my chin as I write you
But a indication my body at work
And yes I to suffered the same as you
It is a poopy thing having neuropathy and or fibromyalgia
The list goes on
It’s so tiring Gerry
I hold on to Christ Jesus and pray and thank him
I know he didn’t bring me this far to fall
Was stuck in some real downpours yesterday
Having to take Eva to the dentist only to be referred to yet another dentist
Her first experience was so traumatic and doctors I find have few if any compassion towards children who had been exposed to the brutish manner
They are little people
Why can’t grown ups see this
What wrong with them
My experience so far is like a assembly line of robots
It sickens me
And to explain this to her mom would just be horrible and she wouldn’t understand
Anyhow you continue to take your meds as prescribed
Same time everyday
Be careful what you eat or drink for that matter
Such as soy anything that promotes estrogen sugar a big time no no
As the tamoxifen shuts down the overuse from feeding the body of this hormone
I have come to learn that there is a abundance of us who have this type of cancer
And have a gut feeling the foods we eat has much to do with our condition
Hoping the plastic surgeon will fix them accordingly
Left side has what is called a “double bubble”
And the right is deflating
Just my luck
Thanks for your concern
Corissa Weinstein’s me yesterday
“Mommy are you okay”
What was I going to write back but the truth
Not a response yet
I will do all I have to to keep this body going with the help from my baby sister
Much love and prayers for you and yours
Me
