Avatar f tn Lymphnodes clear and had five weeks of radiation treatment. Tried Tomxifene but made me ill. Dr, recommended Raloxifene. does Raloxifene prevent the recurrance of my type of breast cancer? Marian This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/261381'>Aromatase vs. Raloxifene</a>.
Avatar f tn I am supposed to start Raloxifene. This may cause hot flashes. If severe enough, dr will rx Effexor to treat flashes. I have been reading such negative information about the side effects of Effexor, and even worse, the are withdrawal symptoms if you have to get off of it. Is there anyone reading this that actually had to take effexor along with Raloxifene? If so, could you tell me please if you had a good, or bad experience? Thank you for any input.
Avatar f tn The medications currently FDA approved as chemoprevention for breast cancer are tamoxifen and raloxifene. Decisions to use a medication as chemoprevention would be made based on weighing the risks and benefits to the individual patient.

Avatar n tn s a bad way to search symptoms and cures) that fake steroids can have inside impurities dangerous for health.I never had episodes of infections so i think it's ok.So, could fake steroids contain virus of any kind of hepatitis?I feel good and as i told you i did test 2 years ago.Do i need some test again?I know this question could sounds stupid but i just need a rassicurance.Thanx a lot.Best regards.
Avatar f tn Aside from radiation, you can ask your doctor about other breast cancer risk reduction strategies such as that of hormonal treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene. Other breast conditions that may increase the risk of invasive cancer would include DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Regards.
Avatar f tn Use of Raloxifene is intended to decrease the risk of osteoporosis and to decrease the risk of invasise breast cancer or to prevent invasive breast cancer from retuning in women who have had invasive BC. If you have questions or concerns about using it, it would be best to discuss them with the physician who prescribed it. Best wishes...
Avatar n tn I am not sure which medication your mother is taking, but Evista (raloxifene) can cause muscle cramps of the legs. Please have your mother make an appointment with her physician.
Avatar n tn I have been told by Oncologist that have 5 times risk factor for breast cancer. Am on raloxifene. Last nite I noticed some dimpling on the biopsied breast abt 1" from incision scar. Just had a manual exam by the Oncologist and don't want to seem like a hypochondriac, but should I see him again. He felt nothing during manual exam, but the lump that was removed was not palpable either and only detected by mammo.
Avatar n tn You should get this checked out - it sounds like maybe dried blood?
Avatar n tn Also though not a health hazard as such, it will cause corrosion of pipes and this may cause impurities to mix with drinking water. Take care!
Avatar n tn Other forms of treatment post-operatively would include additional radiation therapy, or hormonal treatment with Tamoxifen or Raloxifene. All of these additional treatments are aimed to lessen the chance of recurrence as well as prevent the future development of frankly invasive cancers. Regards.
Avatar f tn Okay, thank you!!
Avatar n tn In addition, women over the age of 35 with LCIS who are at treated at the Cancer Center have access to a similar drug, Raloxifene, that may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Cancer Center physicians are participating in a clinical trial called STAR, where the effectiveness of Raloxifene is being compared to that of Tamoxifen for the prevention of breast cancer in high risk women.
Avatar n tn i once heard a story like this that is because of the impurities found in their garments and once you perspire, this wet surface provides a place for germs to stay, so i'm practically basing it from there,God bless,consult a doctor okay.
Avatar m tn with a cold/flu glands fill up with liquid quite fast, causing them to be tender with lymphoma and other serious causes, the glands gradually notice the underlying impurities in your body, so the grow more gradually, likely to be less tender.

Avatar f tn ll see that there is also a problem with DMSO if not gotten via a prescription, as it can contain impurities that enter the body. Read the information and then at least call a doctor and ask.
Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.
Avatar n tn The hormone therapy has so many side affects. The drugs suggested for me are Arimidex or Raloxifene. Is there anyone that does not take hormone therapy and is still doing well with no recurrance?
Avatar n tn These fish are fed foods that often contain mercury and other impurities, and live unnaturally close to one another. Instead of the beautiful pink color found in wild salmon their flesh is white, so chemicals are added which turn the flesh pink artificially. Omega 3 oils also come from Mackeral and Tuna, and these fish also tend to have higher concentrations of Mercury and other impurites in their fat.
Avatar f tn DMSO will carry both good and bad things into the cell with it. That means any impurities or any substance on the surface of the skin will be directly transported to into your cells. As an extreme example, if you combine DMSO with a toxic or poisonous substance, you could very well end your life with a single application. That's the main reason why it is avoided by the medical community. Despite the downsides, there have been reports that it is extremely useful in fighting herpes.
Avatar f tn No diabetes (if this were a sample taken after fasting), no infection, no kidney disease. Sample might not have been a clear mid-stream sampling (slight, inconsequential impurities) but perhaps it was. Does not appear to have been testing for pregnancy (hCG hormone level) imo.
Avatar m tn I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this?? My wife does not take any illicit medications so we are perplexed over this result and are wondering what her doctor is going to do, if anything, at her next appointment next month, 12/2016! Her doses are 45mgs of morphine sulfate ER two times a day and 5mgs of oxycodone three times a day.
Avatar f tn I suggest that you discuss with your oncologist regarding additional treatments like tamoxifen or raloxifene. These two drugs are proven to further decrease the chance of the cancer recurring on the same or the other breast and I believe would be of great benefit to your mother. However, these drugs have side effects that I believe are manageable and should be discussed well with the oncologist. Regards.
Avatar f tn I believe that you are a candidate for risk lowering strategies such as taking hormonal agents (raloxifene or tamoxifen), or surgery (mastectomy). All of these should be discussed with an oncologist or surgeon. Regards.
Avatar m tn The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still investigating whether these chemical impurities are at a high enough level to be a health risk. For the latest updates, please visit: https://www.fda.
