Ladies can I ask a question , I don’t drink a lot of milk , just in cereal , has anyone swapped to almond ? Instead of cows milk ? I’m her2+ so it’s not oestrogen fed , but still confused re milk and soya ?
Hi jamsey, I swapped to unsweetened almond milk when diagnosed. I just have a bit of skimmed in tea and only coffee now and again. I think coffee houses can make your coffees up with coconut milk it’s just a diet change where you feel you are helping your body a bit, think a lot of us have had massive diet overhauls as a result of this, but we still have to live and enjoy life, so my rule is in moderation if I’m going to have a treat ???

Re milk. I’ve swapped to organic milk that’s all. I am planning on visiting a really good health shop to see what I can do to help myself as Her2-. Was on CBD oil before chemo but there are other things and need to see what works with Tamoxifen. Xxx
Thanks ladies , I don’t drink milk in tea or coffee ( can’t drink coffee at the minute ?) so I think I’ll swap to almond , just feel like perhaps I’m helping myself a bit , it’s batting it down of rain here so staying in my duvet for a bit , Day 2 of T but feeling fabulous x anything like last time will kick in Sunday but start my injections tonight so I’m making the most of it xx
Saw the ONC today for the last time. Seeing new consultant about RADS next week and came home with Tamoxifen. Start tomorrow…
ANY HELP APPRECIATED RE TAMOXIFEN… IM SCARED OF TAKING IT …what with all my reactions etc. Xx
I’m a terrible sceptic. I’m planning on just trying to live a healthy life take up regular exercise. But I’m an everything in moderation girl.
But I am a firm believer in doing what you feel is right and helps it’s a mental game and we are going to win ! ?
Shocked, I’ve sent you pm. Also try dollop of manuka honey on ulcers, a lady who did chemo with me at my trust used to zap her ulcers by following manuka honey on them ???shi xx
Starfire, jump on Oct thread, some of the ladies on there with me are taking tamoxifen and will be able to answer any questions. Also the May 2017 ladies, they’ve been taking it for longer and could also advise you darling ??Shi xx
Sorry to hear that shocked it’s so unfair x rocket lollies kept me going on last sore mouth but nothing worse than sore mouth hope it goes as quick as came x
Oh no shocked how nasty. That’s so frustrating when you’ve done everything and it still happens. Hope it clears quickly for you - and it would be s weekend of course !
Starfire good luck with the Tamoxifen today, they must be confident that you won’t bafly react or they wouldn’t have given you them to take home. But in your position I’d be really scared too. Hope that it goes without incident.
Cxx
Shocked , don’t know if they helped at all as I stil used difflam but I bought Manuka honey drop sweets from Manuka doctor , I still got the ulcers but they didn’t stay long and didn’t stop me eating it drinking , I’m day 3 T so just waiting for my s/e to kick in xx hopefully not too bad again x
Good luck with the tamoxifen Starfire. Starting mine in 4 weeks so will be interested to see how you get on.
Ouchy Shocked - hope it clears up soon. Second the ice lollies although twisters were my lolly of choice!
Starfire, Oct ladies have put some advise about tamoxifen on Oct thread for you ???ask as many questions as you want we 
Everyone and will always try and help ???Shi xx
Hi Satarfire got my Tamoxifen ready to start two weeks post surgery…I got so fed up with reading horror stories that I goggled Good Tamoxifen stories and there were loads made me feel much better.
Shocked…I drank forever Aloe Gel every day and only got a few ulcers over the whole time and in normal life I’m really prone. Also it feels so soothing on the way down…
Well I did it yesterday…put my Green Uniform on and went and did an Ambulance shift!!! God I’ve missed normal life, patients and old friends, lights, sirens…Got another next weekend before Surgery…not sure after all that how long if ever I will be able to work on an Ambulance again…making the most of every day ???xxxx
Hi Ladies,
Sore vagina anyone. No sign of thrush but S.X is out of the question. OUCHHH! ??? I’ve not had any mouth sores so wondered if this was relative?
Lots of love xxx
Rosie h ???well done doing shift, have you legged it up the ? and nipped into the city for a crafty 
?break before getting back on sunbed after surgery then by the sound of it ?? starfire things should settle down in the foo foo region but just to be sure phone up your bc nurse to see if it’s anything else darling, better to get everything checked and they would rather you do How you getting on with the curly wig, it sounded amazing ???bit of Charlie’s angels by the coopers on the jukebox ladies, keep ?:female_sign: the ? awaits and the girls already on the ?are having ???pe have nipped to the city ???Shi xx
Starfire. I can’t say it’s sore but defo been some changes. Have found that I’m much more dry, and the times we have tried it’s been uncomfortable - and I’ve ended up with UTI’s. Certainly hasn’t helped the relationship situation.
Off now to chemo unit for the last time for herceptin injection - doing it from home after this. Gonna ring that bell hard and loud girls!
Sending hugs x
No idea Starfire
Ive still had a few bouts of Thrush since treatment…def get it checked there is a condition called Atrophic Vaginitis which is caused by low Estrogen but I would have thought that would take a while to develop.
Def give someone a shout and get it checked out xxx
Starfire I agree I think it’s to do with the menopausal changes .mines not quite the same either and I have developed a problem with urinating it’s not an infection but I now don’t seem to wee straight and it goes everywhere! The number of times I’ve wet my trousers when out ( as don’t sit direct on seat when out) is getting very embarrassing! It really is a problem! …dont quite know what to do either ! Embarrassed.com x
