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 n tn In rare instances, a patient with LCIS will choose to undergo a mastectomy, which although drastic is proven to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in the future. This option is most commonly reserved for men or women with a family history of breast cancer and/or a known genetic mutation that dramatically increases the risk of developing breast cancer above the risk imparted by a LCIS diagnosis.
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 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 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 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 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 n tn Thank you for your comments... it's much appreciated! God bless you, too!
Avatar m tn There are some medications that are used to treat breast cancer that can be tried, though they would be used off label. These include tamoxifen (Soltamox) and raloxifene (Evista), here in the U.S. Another is Danazol. I don't know if they would be available in your country or not. Some of these drugs are quite potent and may have unwanted side effects. Be sure to discuss all of that with your doctor prior to taking them. The other option is the surgery.

Avatar f tn TBG excess production can be hereditary, which is X-linked dominant transmission, or it can be secondary to excess estrogens, as in pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives, hormone replacement, and medications like raloxifene or tamoxifen [4, 5]. The more highly sialylated TBG is cleared more slowly from plasma than the more positively charged TBG, because sialylation inhibits the hepatic uptake of glycoproteins.
Avatar f tn Why are these men i dont know mssging me on my kik and my insta saying marry me i wanna raise ur baby or ill be the daddy? Its so creepy!
Avatar f tn Its fine lol. I hate men. I don't get how some can just be so selfish and not understand.
Avatar f tn Ugh sometimes I wish men could feel what it's like to be pregnant. To feel all of the aches and pains that come with it. My husband keeps calling me a baby when I tell him I don't want to eat certain foods. I keep telling him it's because it will make me sick! He is so going to have most of the diaper duty when this kid arrives!!
Avatar f tn Why are men so sly on there phones?? Dobt get me wrong I do trust my partner, but everytime I even so much go near his phones he panics like mad. Ive never doughted him really but I know if I was to ask him to let me on his phone out of curiosity he would rather split up with me and that makes me feel like he is hiding something!!
Avatar f tn K for the comments saying that your men are supportive & what not. Never once did we say that they weren't supportive. We all love our men but yes we all do wish sometimes they weren't so lucky..
Avatar f tn Omg, my SO has been doing this a lot lately and it has been driving me crazy.
Avatar f tn m up to it every so often but the more he asks me about it the less into it and attractive I find him to be. Just saying, men can be real jerks and sometimes they need to be reminded of that!!!!
Avatar f tn Me and my bf nearly always go out alone, him with the boys and me with the girls. Despite our past issues (he cheated 7years ago) because i get very jealous if im out with him and im on edge all night, so what if he dances with other girls when im not there, i dance with other boys when hes not there! He only difference is we both know who we want, love and are going home to because we trust each other 10000%......
