1. Feeling stronger every day.
I'm taking arimidex (anti-estrogen), which makes me slightly nauseous, but I'm getting used to it. Hey, it keeps my appetite within reason, so I'm losing a few pounds I need to get rid of. My hair's coming in faster, almost 1/2" now. Thanks for asking!:hi:

2. Sounds great!
Are you able to stay up past 9pm yet? I recall I could tell how much stronger I was getting by how late I could stay up without falling asleep in my easy chair.

3. I can stay up until 11, some nights.
Others, I'm ready for bed when the sun sets!

4. I just started and quit Femara
I got the most atrocious headaches! I've been told that taking Arimidex, Femara, etc. in the evening before bed helps cut down on a lot of the side effects.

Good to hear you're feeling stronger.

5. Checking in Bladder Cancer
So far no new tumors. Still going for BCG about every 3 months. Sleeping is the biggest problem. If I could just sleep 8 hours solid I would feel good
