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 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 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 f tn Does anyone know if doctors can really measure chemical imblances in the brain? I have had bipolar type 1 rapid cycling for ten years now, and that's all I hear about. If you look at the package inserts of the meds we take some of them state that the "mechanism of action is unknown" What a great comfort (not!). Anyone else sceptical?
394052 tn?1203100849 less evidence was found for raloxifene. the USPSTF found good evidence that both tamoxifen and raloxifene increase the risk of thromboembolitic events (stroke, DVT, PE). they found that tamoxifen increases the risk of endometrial CA. the USPSTF recommends screening for colon CA starting at age 50 in men and women. earlier screening recommendations depend on the patient, family history and medical conditions (ie they are different for conditions such as ulcerative colitis, etc).
Avatar n tn My 73 year old Mother recently had a tumor removed from one of the milk ducts in her right breast. She had started bleeding from the nipple out of the blue one day. It was Stage 0 - ductal carcinoma in-situ and the doctor is recommending radiation therapy... 6 weeks, 5 days a week. She was leaning toward the mastectomy to be done with it but he says for her age it's a very rough surgery to go through.
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 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 m tn Other than that, i want to discuss with you guys that there are already research for this disease. Im not quiet sure how to paste the link here. But the title of the research is “An exploratory study on "people allergic to me" syndrome based on measurement of trace gases released from skin surface and microbial species in nasal cavity of a patient”.
Avatar m tn capsaicin. It’s the chemical that makes cayenne pepper hot. But it does a lot more than spice up your food. Capsaicin has heart-health benefits. Oxidation of cholesterol is a major cause of clogged arteries. Capsaicin helps your body keep this oxidation under control.(1) It supports healthy levels of cholesterol and fats in your blood, too.(2) But capsaicin may also support the survival of your heart’s muscle cells.
Avatar f tn According to Dr. de Meirleir, a major cause of ME/CFS is a high level of the chemical hydrogen sulfide (H2S). http://chronicfatigue.about.com/b/2009/05/29/breaking-news-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-cause-mechanism-diagnostic-test-discovered-researchers-say.htm Just wondering on others thoughts.
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 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 m tn Is there a connection between chemical sensitivies and an IgE of 1056? All other allergens have been ruled out.
Avatar m tn Can depression happen to people with out a chemical imbalance? Can the chemical imbalance be caused? Can someone start feeling pending doom, loss of interest, crying all the time because of a situation that never changes and not be depression? Or is that a classic description of depression? If not depression is there help for them?
1218873 tn?1300091216 About blaming all things on a "chemical imbalance". A chemical imbalance in the brain would affect it globally - all over. You would see affective (mood) changes, personality changes, impulse, activity, things like appetite etc BUT you would NOT see localized neuro symptoms like assymetrical weakness, localized paresthesias, spasticity here, but not there. That is hogwash. That ""diagnosis"" is the result of a very mediocre mind!
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 Hi,I am Atul Rautela (21 years) from India.I just came to know through my research that a chemical known as aspartame(artificial sweetner) causes eye floaters,sparks in eyes. So do u drink diet coke or go for diet foods having this chemical .If so please stop it. Do more research on this and please tell me also.Hope so I have provided u with good knowledge.
Avatar f tn Ok, So I have read the research this year that Toluene was found in high doses in people with PATM. So I Started to research how toxic and irritating this chemical can be to us and others around us. Come to find out, this chemical can be produced by BACTERIA with enzymes in our body. One study I read said a type of e coli produced it, and then I read about other BACTERIA producing this chemical for bio fuel through a bio fuel company.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out if I had a chemical pregnancy and miscarriage. I woke up Monday morning with severe cramping and I couldn't figure out from what. It continued into Tuesday along with some nausea and later that night I began bleeding. Wednesday the bleeding got heavier and the cramping more intense. I was in pain and experiencing nausea for most of the day. I also woke up with cramping this morning...
Avatar f tn Another consideration in regard to HRT: Two studies reported in April at the American Assn. for Cancer Research 101st Annual Meeting 2010 found that if a woman's breast density changes, so does her risk of breast cancer — if density goes up, so does risk, and vice versa.
2049332 tn?1331069496 Thanks so much for your reply and good wishes. I'm a nervous wreck but am trying to keep it together. Today I got the results. The good news is they say I don't have cancer at the moment. Bad news is that I have something called lobular carcinoma in situ which puts me at a high risk for it in the future or this may even be a precursor to cancer. To me the word carcinoma sounds like cancer.
