Re: Should less treatment be offered to 'older' women with BC? Over 70s ....
I agree with you, 100% @LadyMacbead. Specially now that I am 70 too!
I hope you are recovering well from your surgery & wishing you all the best for your pathology results & your next round of appointments & treatment options. xx. Take care

@cranky_granny - that article came out of the USA in Dec last year - and often Australia follows the American 'ways' ..... tho I hope they DON'T with this one. Our lives are just as valuable as everyone else & we deserve a fighting chance! We've also paid our taxes .....

Christmas Funnies ....... put them up here for a laugh!
Hi guys
Every now & then, you get a Christmas Card that makes you laugh out loud!! Take a photo of them & whack them up here ........ it can be a stressful time even WITHOUT BC ....
I'll kick it off!! You have to look at this one quite closely!!! It 'could' look like a regular 'manger scene'! HAHAHA (Or is it a Weber BBQ they are fighting over??)

Re: Zometa side effects
I am on Zometa, Herceptin and Perjeta. I am usually fatigued. All of these drugs can cause fatigue but altogether you are a nanna nap waiting to happen. My Vit D levels were more than acceptable but I found that by increasing my calcium tablets, my fatigue from the zometa decreased. I have learned to go with the flow. The side effects from drugs can come and go so be prepared to have as much 'me time' as you need.
Zometa side effects
I had breast cancer - lumpectomy - chemo and Radiation. Now iam on 6 monthly Zometa. On my second solution of Chemo i was hit with serious Fatique and it has taken a long time to get back to some sort of normal althought i still have some bad days. I had my first infustion of Zometa two weeks ago and i got the fatique back - Iam annoyed to say the least.
Has anyone else experienced this with Zometa?
