Hi @rae3 @saltis and @wandering. Just checking in to see how you are all doing. How will you be celebrating the holidays this year?

Hi Colleen…I had a fine holiday as my 2 sisters live nearby and although our kids  visited this Fall, we had nieces and nephews visiting this month.I am receiving xgeva and Faslodex hormone injections once a month…two years now.   Wondering if anyone else on this regimen dyes their hair.     I used to color mine blond but my oncologist said probably not a good idea…although he really didn’t know for sure how doing so would affect my hair.   Anyone out there with that experience???

I am getting a faslodex injection monthly (since June 2016) and xgeva every three months. I do not dye my hair and never have. It's somewhat gray and brown. I am outside Phoenix so if you are in my area let me know. Not many of us have mets but would like to connect with others who do to share information. PS: My tumor markers have gone down with the faslodex (or maybe for some other reason) - this month at 71.1, which is down 25 since last month. I am hopeful, based on this, that I may survive a bit longer.
