Yes too much information but information gives you the strength and conviction to make decisions for yourself and not be led by the doctors who dont have to go thru this.Sara Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741008340503019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-24713958646964807292012-10-26T03:33:14.082-07:002012-10-26T03:33:14.082-07:00Thank you Alli, I think doctors are so preoccupied...Thank you Alli, I think doctors are so preoccupied with their own agenda that they forget that this is OUR life and OUR body xxxSara Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741008340503019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-84592723400219036302012-10-26T03:32:31.712-07:002012-10-26T03:32:31.712-07:00I think that you as yourself know exactly what you...I think that you as yourself know exactly what you and your body needs, its just that you have to stick to your guns and go for it.<br /><br />I am so so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you, you are right, life never stops throwing low ballers at you but like you say you have to dodge them as best you can and deal with it.<br /><br />Love Hope and Stength to you xxSara Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741008340503019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-89113348552355539852012-10-26T03:31:02.637-07:002012-10-26T03:31:02.637-07:00When I want something I go for it with all my hear...When I want something I go for it with all my heart and I did find their attitude off putting but now I am glad that I stuck to my guns and got what I wanted in the end. <br /><br />No recovery from surgery is easy you were right but I am just pleasantly surprised because I was lead to believe that it would be horrendous!Sara Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741008340503019303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-26146894700875137122012-10-25T14:45:14.768-07:002012-10-25T14:45:14.768-07:00I can fully understand why you avoided the Zoladex...I can fully understand why you avoided the Zoladex. I too said 'no way' when my doctor wanted me to continue post chemotherapy. That giant needle gave me bad dreams . . . it was bad news, and worse that each nurse administrating always said; "that's a huge needle" right before reading the instructions on how to inject it. <br /><br />Sorry - too much information. I just wanted to say I understand your choice, and hope you are feeling well.<br /><br />CatherineFacing Cancer Togetherhttp://www.facingcancer.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-58910668415100764602012-10-25T11:14:14.557-07:002012-10-25T11:14:14.557-07:00Sara you have to do what you feel is best for your...Sara you have to do what you feel is best for yourself. We shouldn't be made to feel guilty because one treatment is preferred over the other,Dr.'s need to remember this is OUR LIFE and OUR DECISIONS if we are wrong that's on us. I stopped taking all drugs a little more than a year ago. Arimidex was literally killing me I could barely move. Then to be told taking Tamoxifen is how I developed endometrial cancer?? I mean we need to take back our lives, and just live....Good Luck Sara<br /><br />Love Alli XX Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948469302534409133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427604651622643085.post-63165017277381647992012-10-25T06:27:40.040-07:002012-10-25T06:27:40.040-07:00good for you to know what is best for you and your...good for you to know what is best for you and your bady. I had two children, both with birth defects - one major and one minor. of my 7 brothers and sisters there are 3 major birth defects. after years of birthcontrol pills that messed with my body, at 27 I wanted a tubal. I had to argue. it was many years ago but whose business but mine was it that I did not want to risk another child that was ill. I went through menapause naturally at 42. I think you made a good solid choice. hugs to you from Brasil.<br />I have said anything on the internet but I lost Camillo this month. Life never stops throwing you curve balls and all we can do is try to dodge the pain as best we can.

You knew what you needed for YOU and didn't let doctors bully you down (as if they could!! hee! They didn't know exactly who they were dealing with, did they?). This is another case of a woman's body being her own...and you, better than anyone, know what you have already been through and how it has felt. You know what you are prepared to put up with and what is going to be best for you.<br /><br />So glad that it went well and that the recovery is "easy" for you (no recovery from surgery is ever "easy" but there is an ease of comfort). <br /><br />Sending you much love!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.com
