Hope everyone had a great Mothers Day. I usually do the MDC and then have a crowd around for lunch. This year I was away for the weekend so didn't do that. It was at this event last year that I first thought I must do something about this pain in right hip and leg......it took another 5 or 6 weeks to find out and that's when we hopped back onto the rollercoaster! My Herceptin and Zometa treatments are going well with not much side effects, just go home and lie around for the afternoon which is not hard at all! I am feeling so much better taking arimidex as opposed to the Femara.

Genetic Testing

I'm interested to know if anyone on this forum has had the testing and what they decided to do with the results? I have  15 year old daughter and a sister so just wondering about the many issues involved with this. I realise it's a low chance of genetics being the cause but still wonder about it. It's a big one isn't it?
