have low grade cancer cells, so we're looking for a treatment that will work for that. I am now on an aromatase inhibitor called Aromasin. We're hoping it will stop the excess estrogen from feeding the cancer.
Through this process, I also learned I have Crohn's disease. Thankfully it is not completely active at the moment, but I am on a boatload of medication to keep it in check. I get CT's every three months for the cancer, so my doctor is able to keep a good watch on how the Crohn's is progressing, as well.

Thank you for commemorating this day with me :) I just read my pathology report from November 2005...it's impressive - I kinda forgot how bad it was. I am so glad to be here right now and I am glad you are here too. I hope you fight it back into remission where it belongs.

My feet and hands cramp and get a burning, needle pricking, itchy, and feels like hairs on my body feeling all over. My scalp is so itchy and prickly too. I feel like I could go mad from it. GP says I have to see rheumy for treatment. Not coming together easily and not sure what they can do for it anyway. I know that with chemo you can get this. Are they able to do anything to help?
