Good pet scan results-

Congratulations on your happy news! So great to hear about stable scans!

I am not on Faslodex, but I have heard some women who are on it mention the strange urine odor.

Hi Epinto, really great to hear that good news. I trust Faslodex will continue works on you and all who are on it, including my mom. My mom 71, is going for the first jab this coming Tuesday. Any helpful tips and advise? What's the side effects if I may ask. Take good care and do get your self a little celebration to mark your successful intervention! Thanks

No...although I thought my urine was looking greenish. I insisted on a urine test. All was clear. Next time you go for labs, ask your oncologist to order it.

Hmmm, never noticed a change in urine but I do have diarrhea for a couple days after. So happy for you and your results!! Doing the happy dance!

Great news about your scan

I don't get any changes to my urine but I get a strange taste in my mouth as the injection is being administered and that lasts about 24 hrs.

This time I took some of the advice given in other streams and asked if I could put the viles of the injection fluid under my arms before the injection to bring them up to body temperature. The nurses laughed at me sat there with the ends sticking out looking like some bizarre fashion accessory, but commented that the injections were easier to do and I massaged the injection site afterwards for a few minutes afterwards. After previous injections I've had two hard mildly painful lumps and bruises for a couple weeks, this time there was nothing, so I'll be making the nurse's laugh again next time.

I've been on Faslodex for nearly 5 years, and yes, every time, my urine stinks after I get it! I figure that it's the kidneys cleaning what they can. No worries.

Great new! I will be getting my first pet scan this month and of course, I am nervous! I think the injection do cause a stronger urine smell, at least it seems like that. I also feel that between the Ibrance and the injections there are many changes in the body. Good luck going forward! I hope I get the same results! Amen....

Awesome news about your scan!!! I was in faslodex for 12 years and never noticed an odor.

Great news on the scan!! Enjoy and celebrate it is totally a win!!

First, congrats on scan results!! And, YES, I've had chemical smelling urine after Faslodex. I notice it goes away sooner if I exercise and drink lots of water. I wondered if anyone else noticed this. ;-/ Plus, injection sites are pretty sore for a few days. Again, congrats on results! Happy, happy for you!

I am not on this drug at this point. But, I am always thinking I have a bladder infection these days. I guess keeping up the gallon of water a day has to be an asset. I wonder if d mannos would help. The powder is tremendous for the bladder. Apparently, if you take 9,000 mgs a day that no bacteria can live in your bladder. I only take about 2 to 4 a day and put in my morning drink. Worth a try.

Thank u. Will look into it. Stay well!

Sister/Warrior: You, your loved ones, I, and your sister/warrior's C-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-e your

great test results. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, and Hip hip Hooorrrraaaaay. May God continue to

bless you to have many more great test results. If the side effects from the drugs that

caused you to be stable/NED , is pungent pee, I would have stinky pee pee all day, everyday (LOL). Amen ! Here's something that could help the pee pee odor. I run low blood pressure so I put a pinch of baking soda in everything I drink, which also causes body odor to be minimal if anything at all. Just think in terms of kitty litter, but us taking, not kitty litter, but a little baking soda internally (LOL) again. Plus you know you have to drink lots of water, and try to eat as clean as you can. XoXoXoXo

Lol! U sound like you have a great sense of humor!!!! We need that!!! Thanks for the advise and may u continue to do great!!!!!
