That's so right, the people on this site are all so awesome! Thanks to you and all the dear hearts here. Today I drove to my screaming place... I yelled and screamed and cried my shit out where nobody else could hear me. That helped, however it is good to come here and talk to people who understand. xxxx

I wish I could find the photo which I would like to add...but years ago when my partner and I were in Spain, we were in a little village and walked past a shop called ARSE PERFUMERIA. Still makes me laugh today

@Tracey B thats insane!!! Im actually surprised theyre going down that path too, so I get you being shocked! Im exactly like you, have Osteoporosis in my lower back and neck as of last year all purely chemo related!!!! I suffer the same pains you do, but they come and go, but got better off Arimidex, have you tried 6 weeks off Arimidex? did the Onc suggest that? Please let us all know asap how you go. Biggest Hugs to you sweet! Melinda xo

Thanks Melinda,
My Onc wants to keep me on the Arimidex until he gets the scan results. I guess it will work itself out in the end, I just keep processing the conversations, and know that I'm in good hands. Just waiting is the hard part. Have been doing some resume writing and some painting to keep me busy, and tomorrow will be going on a travelling excursion for the tourist centre that I volunteer with, just keeping busy.
hugs received gratefully, and sending them to you also xxxx

Great idea keeping busy!! I find it helps alot, my daughter bought me an Adult colouring book LOL and I finally started it yesterday its quite therapeutic! I see my Oncologist in 2 weeks to discuss the Arimidex, I had to keep a log so am back taking it but Im sure he'll switch me to Femara now. Really hoping they are way off base doing this scan! So keep up us in the loop! You always seem to do great with handling it all, you really do take things one step at a time and thats the best you can do!! xx Melinda
