None. The lump was found on the mammogram and the surgeon said she wouldn’t have been able to feel the lump if the biopsy hadn’t enlarged it.

July, 2004 to September, 2004 Sometimes when I swallow I start to cough. The esophagus was damaged. It will recover, but still hasn’t.

Hormone Therapy Description, Dates & Side Effects:

I’m on Exemestane. That’s not one of the options in the box above. It makes me tired. Not if I’m driving or walking or doing someing. If I’m listening to a lecture or sitting in church, sometimes the tiredness hits. Doctors say it’s one of the side effects.

We all must stay on top of this thing. We must continue to get the check-ups and stuff. I’ve got a mamogram scheduled in April, (It’s suppposed to be in March, but that’s the soonest they could get me in.) I should have gotten on it sooner.
My husband, Ted and I, plus Starsky and Hutch, (Minature Daschunds, they’re brothers.), are driving to Nebraska (500 miles), to visit my mom for a week. May not have an internet connection there. Everybody hang in there and take care of yourselves while I’m gone.
Hugs!
Karen
