I did not like the side effects with Effexor but my hot flashes caused me to vomit and I was a complete mess. Neurontin did nothing to help me, but Lexapro has been a godsend. Very minimal hot...

Re: How many of us are taking some kind of medication for depression?

Re: Running with breast cancer?

I ran through chemo/ expansion even if I could only go 5 minutes. After my reconstruction I had to wait 6 weeks before running again. Running keeps me sane and is form of meditation for me. My...

Breast sensation returning

I thought that the sensation of touch would be gone following mastectomy. Two years later I have regained a lot of sensation. Anyone else who had sensation return?

Re: Any advice for Hot Flashes after chemo?

I found the hot flashes to be almost as bad as the treatments as I threw up at the onset of the flash and had them about once every 5-10 minutes. I spent months throwing up from them. I did go on...

Re: Implant Question / Radiation Question - Concerns

Yes, I knew they would not last forever, but not that I couldn't keep getting them replaced. And I trust technology will evolve. Regarding radiation, it's been a year and that side is still very tan....
