Hi Lillian: Nice to hear from you again. After learning about your
experience with tamoxifen I plan on having a long discussion with my
doctor before I ever start taking it. I will just be glad when I get to
that point in my treatment plan. Right now I am getting through the
second treatment. The doctor changed my med's so the nausea was not as
bad this time but the shots are giving me a fit and I have extreme
heartburn; any suggestions?
I have noticed by reading the e-mail that the MOLERS come from all over
the U.S. and Canada. I came from a small town called Ft. Erie in
Ontario Canada and moved to Buffalo New York when I was 7. Is anyone
out there from Ft.Erie or Buffalo?
Take Care and God Bless
Suzanne
