Re: Five years out???

Re: Joy is at peace now

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I live in Fort Collins too and first met Joy through Hope Lives. We were survivor models in a fashion show in 2005.

aromasin

HI,
I have been on Aromasin for about 1.5 yrs. My oncologist prescribed Celobrex for my joint pain, which helps, but I think exercise helps the most. Good luck.
