Hi Ladies,

I have been out of town for a week, so I am just getting to these replies.

SO sorry that we all seem to be having these debilitating issues!!!

I am having a hip x-ray this week--to see if it shows anything different than the bone scan?

I was in 24/7 pain this week, until I went back to yoga class=this also helped last Dec-March-but I had to discontinue yoga when I got vertigo-etc and fainted and ended up in ER---

So for now--the hip x-ray and I will go back to yoga once a week--

Maureen,let me know how it goes--I have read your blog several times--wow--you are so inspirational!!!!

Jackie---hmmmmm---interesting......I had the HNPCC as my Dad-and both his parents passed of Colon Cancer--My Dad's sister and a cousin both passed young of Ovarian Cancer--According to the 'old' method (Stockholm criteria or something like that) of assessing genetic traits I was a positive--so Insurance covered it--I was a negative, however nothing is fool-proof and I am still being cautious since I have a history of pre-cancerous polyps.

Alice--I am not on AI's--I am ER/PR-, and it may also be a side effect of AI's---

Love and Hugs,
