About Breast Cancer: Some Antidepressants Interact with Tamoxifen

If you can't see this email, click here

Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer I really didn't enjoy the side effects of Tamoxifen. But I stuck with it, and used an antidepressant to help lessen the hot flashes. However, some of those "good mood" pills can cancel out the benefits of Tamoxifen! Some Antidepressants Interact with Tamoxifen Before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I sometimes took St. John's Wort for my mood. When I was on Tamoxifen and experienced the Super-Whopper Body-Melter Hot Flashes, my doctor had me taking prescription antidepressants. Some helped, some didn't. Now we know that some of those "mood pills" can wipe out the effects of Tamoxifen! Be sure you know which pills you can combine and which to avoid.

It is the most commonly prescribed selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM).

Welcome to the Special Edition of Lymph e-Channel

Dear friends of the NLN,

On Saturday, July 29th, Deborah Cordner our Lymphedema patient extraordinaire will
be competing among the best to be crowned the "World's Fittest Person" at the CrossFit
World Championship. No doubt, Deborah has overcome a long and arduous journey to
reach this point. With the date fast approaching, Deborah has been training for
many hours a day and getting stronger each day.

The NLN staff and lymphedema patients from around the country have already sent
her our best wishes and support. We all want her to do her best! As a professional
athlete, Deborah's goals are not only to win next week's competition but also to
send a message that "life goes on with lymphedema". As a member of the lymphedema
community, Deborah shows us that we can continue to live and even thrive in the
face of adversity.

Deborah has chosen to support the Marilyn Westbrook Garment Fund (MWGF) [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=uwropkcab&et=1106519896067&s=8235&e=0017N91k-gscHIQP7l8R4Ut_FZGvHlqpAI0VtcYPxhH4E0pAV3gStmruhgUPNHA20Ugncrhhk1WrbXNCEAcAr51hee7hr9i0QitUhe0MDjykg_CnNjOCUuW4ocKRh6ngns9arJSaXyiGVqFfrBfXK5SNQ==]
as her charity of choice in her journey to the top. Together with Deborah, we can
continue to make a difference in the lives of other patients. Pledge your support
to Deborah by making a contribution to the MWGF today.

We thank you for your support and good luck Deborah! The lymphedema community at
large is rooting for you!

Respectfully,

Saskia RJ Thiadens, RN

Executive Director, NLN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update from Deborah Cordner
The emails and responses I have received from telling my story are all very inspiring.
It really 'fills me up'. My dad was in tears from the heartfelt stories and words
of encouragement from the lymphedema community. As one supporter said "you are amazing,
you are already a champion, regardless of where you place." My goal is for everyone
to know that about themselves. Lymphedema makes anyone who has it so strong. All
the time and energy spent caring for you affected limb; really all it does is make
you stronger. I want everyone to harness that power, welcome the challenge and change
lives! Everyone can benefit by knowing someone who struggles with lymphedema!

Thank you so much again a million times!

Deb

About Breast Cancer: Vitamin D Boosts Bone Health with Hormone Therapy

If you can't see this email, click here

Breast Cancer Breast Cancer Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Daily Life From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer Treatments for breast cancer can make you feel like you're in super-menopause. Even the follow-up drugs, like aromatase inhibitors, can give you hot flashes and bone thinning. A common nutritional supplement can protect your bones. But you need to know how much to take. Vitamin D Reduces Bone Loss For Breast Cancer Patients Most of us with estrogen-fueled breast cancer wind up taking a hormone therapy for 5 years after our primary treatments. That's good, because it prevents a recurrence. But it comes with side effects - one of which is loss of bone density. Research shows that Vitamin D can help! Breast Cancer and Bone Density Scans Having a bone density scan is a breeze - there's no squeezing like a mammogram, no intravenous lines needed, and all you have to do is relax and lie still. It's a really easy test to get some really important results. See More About:  radiation  breast cancer treatment  bone density scan Estrogen, Bone Loss, and Chemotherapy Had chemo? Gone through menopause or chemo-pause? Then you might need to check up on your bone health. Chemo can cause low estrogen levels, similar to menopause. And low estrogen leads to thinner, more brittle bones. See More About:  estrogen  bone density scan  chemotherapy Estrogen and Your Health Estrogen - it affects more than breast growth and fertility. Here's a discussion of different ways that estrogen influences your overall health.
