Daf10 that story at breast cancer-news.com/2017 had me L.O.L. At 46 years old 10 years ago I had aggressive chemo, which put me into an unnatural menopause, and I felt like I was dropped from a mountain into a valley of extreme hormonal symptoms with drip down sweaty hot flashes I timed at every 22 minutes.The doctors would not give me hormones even though I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. I eventually found some natural cream supplementation that had/have me feeling like myself prior to aggressive Chemo.I joke with my girlfriends and say after menopause this is when we turn into old men. The light mustache on my upper lip and the 5 or 6 hairs on my chinny chin chin that I shaved and/or plucked this morning are the proof (smile). I am just so grateful to still be here in the land of the living, able bodied and able minded by Gods grace and mercy.Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter to my sisters and,some of my brothers in the struggle and all of your loved ones.
