Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi Lea, Treatments are over . . . ten treatments over five days. No burns, no fatigue. Just a little sore where the balloon was. I'm trying the estrogen blocker the doctors recommend. I have some serious questions about it! . . . According to studies, it reduces the risk of cancer reoccuring from about 20% to less than 2%... Probably better than that of the general population. However, the major side effect is joint/muscle pain/stiffness. .. . And I'm feeling some of that. I woke up with a headache yesterday and today, I hurt from the top of my shoulders to the base of my skull! Still, I'm going to give this stuff a chance. One of my friends took part in the initial study. Her only effect was some hot flashes. They told her she could quit taking it after five years. All in all, I'm doing really good! Don't worry about me! Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
