    I might have the profile wrong. Just put in what the pathology report said. But, exactly, why. Pharmaceutical industry makes a mint off of cancer.

    I just bought a perfume at WFs. The listed ingredients are frankensence and myrrh. Smelled good and the only other ingredient was water.

    Then I gave a gf a ride and she got headaches and then itchy eyes a second time when we hugged. She said she is allergic to frankencence and I said "impossible".

    I called the company yesterday. Not only did they add an essential oil which isnt mentioned (less than 2%) but they refused to tell me what it is because their 'blend' is proprietary!!

    I told them I did not much care about their formula but wanted to know what it was to which my gf might be allergic. First they wanted a list of her allergens. I told them they were nutz and asked about this again. So far they have refused to say. So much for this customer. I guess I need to brew up my own perfume

    P. S. I really like the Woolzies. I called the company up the other day to ask if they were sure their wool was gathered humanely. (what sort of world has this become when I need to ask such a thing?).

    It was early and I happened to get the owner of this small business. She was all hyped up about the research she does and the pains she takes to be sure the shearing is done in such a way that the animals are well treated.

    That made me feel go until I remembered I was talking to Upstate New York and the wool used was from New Zealand. I asked her if she meant the she had traveled to New Zealand.

    And then came the difference between marketing and reality as she said she had not but did trust the folks who promised the animals were well treated.

    And this is why we are in the mess we are in. No one takes responsibility. Everyone passes the buck. Shades of 'Where is Harry Truman?'

    I noticed you posted that you didn't know how to post photos, here is a short tutorial.

    Click on the pinboard tab at the top of any page.
    Then click on the blue bar that says Post a photo or Video, it's at the top left of the screen.
    Another box will open up with a blue bar on it that says Upload a photo
    Click on this bar and you will be taken to your own computer to select the photo you want to upload, select it then click on the orange "share this" button on the bottom right.

    If you want to put a msg. or comment with the picture click in the text box where it ways "write a caption" let us know if you have any trouble doing this.

    Hi, I'm debating on the tamoxifen also and I'm the same diagnoses as you ER positive PR positive and HER2 Negative. I'm 51 & had lumpectomy and mammosite 5 day radiation. I have uterine fibroids too, they told me when I had my whole body scan. I'm thinking of checking with my gyno before taking this since it is known to cause uterine cancer. All this is overwhelming. How are you feeling on the tamoxifen? Hope you are doing well.
