I have breast cancer myself (details below if you are interested) but
today, I am posting for a friend, Denise, who also lives here in Sydney,
Australia and has brain metastases (DX October 2004) originating from
breast cancer (DX July 2003, stage 2). Her brain mets were ...

I have a friend who was dx'd in March 2003 with a 6 cm tumor/no lymph nodes.
She had mast + chemo and is currently taking tamoxifin (which she hates b/c
of the side effects).  Her Dr. has suggested Lupron + another aromatase
inhibitor instead of tamoxifin.  Has anyone ever heard of ...

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with it.  Yes, I'm
wondering if that's my problem.  But I don't find much on it to really
be able to tell how that differs from what's normal after chemo and
radiation.

The alt.support.cancer.breast contributors' bio pages (at
www.cancersupporters.com) were lost from the server.  I have restored
them from a backup I took in July 2004.  All changes since this date

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 months ago, she had a lumpectomy
and then radiation. She was taking tamoxifen for about 12 months and more
recently she has been switched to Arimidex.  She has also been taking
venlafaxine(Efexor) and clonidine (Dixarit) to help ...

A ct scan on the brain last week showed two "lesions" for my mom. Well,
she had headaches on and off for a couple of days; but hasnt been
having any for the past few days. She is going to receive radiation for
it pretty soon.

The last time I posted here I asked for prayers for my Dad.
Well, he had the surgery and it was a success and doctors told us that
he'd walk better then he had in years.
But that was not to be....he passed away on 2/6 at 11:50pm.

My wife was dignosed with BC 2 1/2 years ago.  She's had surgery, chemo and
is on Tamoxifen.  Recently her lab work showed hyponatremia (low sodium) and
the doc put her on a diuretic which improved the situation but then her labs
showed electrolyte imbalance.  The doc has stopped ...

I have undergone partial mastectomy for a stage IIa carcinoma on the
15th of October and everything has been fine until three weeks ago. I
started feeling a dull pain at the surgery scar - right where one of
the 'lumps' from the subcutaneous stitches is - and it doesn't seem to
