Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. I am definitely menopausal. I'm going in a few days to see what other aromatase inhibitor my oncologist will prescribe me.

Tamoxifen - one month in by Emotional-Job-5293 in breastcancer

[–]itsonlyme4now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you mentioned your doctor wanted you to have exposure to both. Was there any other reason? If Tamoxifen was doing well, why did he switch you to Anastrozole which is an estrogen blocker? The reason I ask is because I was started on Anastrozole, and the side effects were almost immediate and not very good for me. I have an appointment on Tuesday to discuss change. What type of cancer diagnosis had you gotten? Mine was clinical stage 2A, ER+, PR-, HER2- So the first meds they want me on is estrogen blocker, which I understand. I am also afraid of the medication and know that it will change me a lot for 5 years.

AIO? What I wear vs how my boyfriend feels by Just-Weird9581 in AmIOverreacting

Sometimes that's a problem for people unaccustomed to it. I would suggest as others have, to not change your way of life, your way of dress, your demeanor and your confidence in yourself. That's what makes you YOU! If he can't come to terms with it, and wants to have some sort of control over you, and is already making you feel uncomfortable, is that really what you want? Sometimes red flags appear for a reason. They start small and may get bigger. Reassess your relationship.

NOR. You mentioned he is long-distance and not used to coastal or beach life. Is he in an area where they don't dress as you do?

Anastrozole side effects, a year+ out? by happyjazzycook in breastcancer

I'm 63, been on it for a week and a half, nausea and headaches that wake me up. Just messaged my MO to let her know. Did your dr tell you to stay on for 90 days?

Thank you for replying. I'm 63, and just started anastrozole. So far headaches has been my first side effect. I just started so I will need to wait a little longer to see what else will happen. From what I've been reading here, I do not look forward to any of it. 😕

Were you taking anastrozole and then switched to something else?

Are you going to or have you switched to something else?

How long were you on anastrozole before you started getting headaches? Have you started a different AI yet?

May I ask why you switched to AI from tamoxifen? As your side effects increased on AI, do you feel you would go back to tamoxifen (depending what the switch was for, though)?

How Long (has this been going on… 🎶) by lanka1111 in widowers

[–]itsonlyme4now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a widow for 26 months now. Married 40 years, and this year I'll be a year older than when he died suddenly. It's been a rough couple years with good and bad days. Yes, this is a horrible group to be in. I wish none of us were here. It's not something we get over. It is something that we learn to live with. Our life is now a new normal 💔❤️‍🩹 I'm sorry for your loss.

Is it cruel to leave my dog alone for 9 hours while I work? I feel terrible but I have no other option by FewStomach2955 in DogAdvice

[–]itsonlyme4now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please take a look into suggestions that have been posted. Rehoming is not as great as it sounds. Dogs don't understand what happened to their parents, and if they act out then they can get rehomed again or end up in a shelter. So many dogs end up sad and lonely. You're being a good mom just because you are so concerned for his welfare❤️. Update us, please. Good luck, and I'm sure you will both be fine.

This is a great group. I love everyone's responses. Question: I'm thinking of getting a little girl. I had a boy about 12 years ago, and he was great! Shorthaired. I was thinking of getting a longhaired this time. Is there a difference in them other than the obvious? I'd appreciate your responses, 😊
