Hi Sis,

I'm doing great! . . . I finished Mammosite radiation

therapy yesterday . . . Five days of two treatments

daily. I highly recommend it to anyone who qualifies!

I had no radiation burns, no fatigue (except from

getting up at 5:00 a.m.!)

Today has been a chill-out day! . . . Just doing what

I feel like with no pressure or agenda. . . Tomorrow

I'll be ready to put myself in gear and start catching

up on things.

I'm starting a medication now that will stop estrogen

productions. I'm a little leery about this, but the

doctor promises to monitor me closely. AND (my sign

that this is the way I should go) a friend took part

in the five-year study of this drug. She said her only

side effect was some hot flashes. That really gives me

heart.

My big concern is that one of the side effects is

increased joint/muscle pain. I fight so hard to keep

this at bay as it is with Fibromyalgia! . . .

Hopefully I can skip the side effects and get the

benefit. . . Which, with lumpectomy and radiation puts

reoccurance at about 2%. . . Probably better chances

that that of the public as a whole.

Incidently, I've been telling anyone who would listen

about breast implants and the effects on women and

offspring. . . My oncologist is very concerned and

indicated he would check out our group.

Hugs,

Cherie,

Smelly sweat a good sign you're getting rid of toxins

.. . . don't worry about it . . . Just keep sweating

and slowly, but surely, you'll start feeling better!

I've had a few times when my sweat smelled

incrediblely rank! . . . not a perspiration smell at

all . . . just awful!

Hugs,

Rogene

Sis, I remember how bad it was for you last year!

You've come a long way! I'm thrilled things have

gotten so much better for you! . . . And, I know

they're going continue improving! I'm bet your husband

is glad he stuck by you now!

Christene - your husband is going to be very, very

sorry when he figures out how badly he's messed up!

You're a winner - it shows in every way!

Hugs,

Christene,

Sometimes it's best just to let the tears flow . . .

we understand. It's an important stress reliever . . .

You have a lot to grieve over. . .

But this will pass - the sun will come out, and life

will be good again!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

I'm tearing up with the vision of your dog

commiserating with you! . . . Pets are incredible! . .

.. I just wish they could talk so we could understand

what they think! I'm sure they understand us better

than we can comprehend!

Hugs,

Our cocker spanial, "Guinness" (named after the Beer) is my baby. He follows me around everywhere and literally cries if I leave. However, since I became really sick last year, they both have not left my side. I did see a news commentary on the Today Show about three months ago where scientists have trained dogs to recongnize the scent of cancer present in urine. They lined up like 20 different dishes with urine and the dog found the one from a cancer patient every time. In fact, in the study, the dog kept returning to the urine of a patient in remission. They thought the dog was wrong, as it turned out a year later the patients cancer returned on MRI. It was truly amazing. Dogs have amazing senses.Rogene S <saxony01@...> wrote: ,I'm tearing up with the vision of your dogcommiserating with you! . . . Pets are incredible! . ..
