Thanks, Tricia!

That is Max, my chemo kitty. Right before I was Dx'd I lost both of my cats to old age (17 & 15) So I told my husband that I needed something the cuddle on my down days. We searched for a long time and found this guy, a flame point siamese. He was abused and the first month in our home was pretty rough as he had HUGE trust issues. Now he is such a lover! (although he is much closer to my husband)

I am also now starting to have some minor joint pain, nothing compared to that which I had with Tamoxifen. As soon as I came off Tamoxifen I started shedding pounds, which made me very happy. Hopefully this drug doesnt bring it all back
