I have gone through lots of different drugs - some pills, some shots, and now infusions. The infusions seems to be working although my tumor markers have gone up. That has happened before but my attitude is "I'm doing all I can" and I'll control what I can and not worry about things I cannot. I had a bone scan and CT scan yesterday. I think that we OK but my oncologist appointment is next week and we will see what she has to say. In the meantime I'll eat ice cream if I want. By the way I'm 81.

@wandering What are the infusions you speak of, what drug? I too have been on pills, and shots, and now Tamoxifen, but lowering the dose. The earlier drugs had detrimental effects on my heart (blood pressure) and legs, possibly giving me venous insufficiency & swollen feet.
I've about given up on hormone blockers, they just give me more ailments than I had.
