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.

Hi! Views: 107

Hi everyone, here I am in Nebraska, and I have internet. Better than my laptop gets at home in Denver, (Go figure.). Someone around where my mom lives has a dish. :)
We are having a nice time, just relaxing. My twin sister and her husband arrived today. They live in Denver also, so we see a lot of each other. When she found out we were going to be in Lincoln at the same time, she asked if we minded. I said of course not.
She’s thirteen minutes older than me, so I listen to her and do just what she says. (Okay – I listen to her and do just what I want to do.)
Hope everyone is doing well.
Hugs!
Karen
