Suzanne:  Welcome friend and I am glad you are speaking up.  I am also a breast cancer survivor and a uterine cancer survivor.  I had a mastectomy and tamoxifen; but went off the tamoxifen due to  a severe allergic reaction that left alot of pernment damage.  But hey we are alive and certainly belong in the Troopers Assoc. Gallery.....take care, your friend, lillian

Hi, Suzanne:  I had to have the shots, too -- last winter.  My husband gave them to me in the hip.  I think he got some sort of perverted pleasure out of this, but he gives almost painless shots.  I had leg and hip pain after the shots, too -- sometimes fairly severe.  I took warm baths and Darvocet -- once in awhile a glass of wine, and I tried to sleep a lot.  I think I just tried to get through it the best I could.  I had six weeks of radiation, too.  Ask your radiation therapist about the cream.  He/she will either give it to you or tell you where to find it.  Maybe I've helped a little?  I'm such a buttinsky!  Your friend, Kathy in Boise

Hi Judy:  My name is Suzanne and I have been in the forum for the past
month but have remained relatively silent. I too have brest cancer and
currently undergoing chemo (FAC protocol).  The chemo does make me sick
for about 1 week and my blood count low at this time.  I have been
receiving Neupogen Injections to help rebuild the blood cells.  I am
having a lot of discomfort in my lower back, hip and leg. Nothing seems
to help for very long.  I thought that you said in one of your e-mails
that you were taking the shots.  Did you experience any pain and if so
what did you find that helped?  Also, where did you find the Sween
Cream?  I have 6 weeks of radiation after the chemo so I am trying to
find out all I can about that before I start my treatments.

I am glad that you are doing so well and you are really on the downside
of all the treatments.  I will be glad when I reach that point.  I can't
wait until my hair starts to grow back, I am getting tired of hats and
wigs!  Take care amd God Bless.

The Mol chat room is great.   

Suzanne
