AA,

I really liked your post. Somethings I'd never thought about , risk factors using additional weight (as fat) increasing estrogen levels. It's a cycle isn't is....I take Arimidex....it lowers my estrogen....joints hurt.....painful to excersize as much (as apparently needed) thus first time I have a ton of belly weight. ....which increases the estrogen my body produces!
No one ever discussed this with me while making OUR plan to succeed over the cancer.

Thanks for posting,
Lorraine
