Avatar f tn Could my recurrence of Ovarian cancer be attributed to my taking Evista for a year? I had ovarian cancer 15 years ago and after surgery and chemo, and a "second look" surgery with multiple biopsies was considered cured.I had a complete hysterectomy and the cancer seemed to be contained in my left ovary. Last winter I found a lump in my left groin which was biopsied and diagnosed as ovarian malignancy.
Avatar n tn Is there any drug interaction between these two drugs ? I am taking Evista for Osteoporosis.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm ok, but I think about this every day since I found out. It bothers me more than I thought it would. I have no known family history, but my mother died at 60 from complications from uterine cancer. I am post menopausal. When I was 49 my husband died and my periods just stopped suddenly and I had only hot flashes. But they were often and I would get drenched at work. So I took Prempro. I never stopped taking it because every time I tried the flashes came back.
Avatar m tn Has anyone heard of taking Tamoxifen or Evista as a possible step in breast cancer prevention? My doctor has suggested it because I'm in a high risk category. I'm not sure what to do.
Avatar f tn he said I am cancer free right now, but a high risk of getting breast cancer so he is recommending this medication Evista. He said Evista was better then the tomoxafin because it causes less blood clots. Is this true? I haven't started any meds yet, since IM going to get a second opinon first to see what is the best course of medication for me to take.Of course there are side effects now what medication doesn't have any side effects right.
Avatar n tn He also said an oncologist would later discuss prophylactic treatment with tamoxifen or evista (I have osteopenia, and he said evista can be beneficial for that). I am very frightened and anxious. Seventeen years ago I had a benign lump removed in the other breast. Two years ago I had emergency surgery for a retinal detachment and have only just now come to terms with my altered vision the various complications from the detachment.

Avatar f tn The main cause behind the optic nerve swollen is due to infection. Either your optic nerves can be damaged from any injury. Just consult with the specilaist eye surgeon, If you don't care for your eye. you can also loose your vision very soon. click here:- http://advancedcentreforeyes.
Avatar m tn m on to LCD computers for at least 8-10 hours a day (for my job as well as personal), i feel that I need to care for my eye. Will Anti glare zero power glasses work for me? Are they really helpful? Please help me ASAP!
Avatar m tn Computer use may tire the eye, especially if done for long periods of time, but will not damage the eye. My suggestions would be to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist to see if your eyes are healthy and if you need glasses. Also when using the computer about every 15 minutes look away from the screen and out the window or down the hall and refocus on a distant object. Then blink you eyelids hard 5-6 times. This rests/stretches the focus muscle of the eye and moisturizes the cornea.
Avatar m tn Only a real life examination of the RE by an Eye MD ophthalmologist can answer that question. You should be under the care of an Eye MD ophthalmologist. You should direct question to him/her. Likely if you could be helped you would have been referred for treatment long ago.
Avatar f tn Your most important eye is the other eye. Protect it from injury and the effects of unhealthy living. See an Eye MD every year maybe 2 a comprehensive ophthalmologist and an retina surgeon Eye MD. Always think eye protection and safety. Do not smoke or drink a lot of alcohol. Eat a good diet and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise in moderation. Have a family physician that you also see at least yearly.
Avatar n tn I have continued him regarding protective eyeware for his left eye and have asked him to continue to see his ophthalmology for all of his general eye care. I will monitor his retinal disease and will inform his ophthalmology of his condition. I hope there is something you can do to help us. Thanks.
Avatar f tn At times when looking at florescent lights my eye floaters would glow. Yesterday I went to eye doctor and he asked if I had a lot of migraine. I said no more than usual. He diagnosed me with ophthalmic migraines. I did research and I found something closer to my symptoms called aura migrants. Aura migraines can cause your floaters to illuminate when you are having a migraine and even if you are having a slight migraine and feel no pain from migraine.
