  1. Pfizer & Pepsi to Merge This will no doubt put Coca Cola out of business in the near future...! The Pfizer Corporation announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form and this new product will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of cocktails, highballs and just a good old-fashioned stiff drink. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. Thought for the day...There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2025, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs, huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them. And...if you don't send this with senior friends right away there will be fewer people laughing today.
  2. Stanley decided to lookup his friend Alf, who was a tight-fisted Yorkshireman. He found Alf at his bungalow in Huddersfield stripping the wallpaper from the dining room. Rather obviously, he remarked, "You're decorating, I see." To which Alf replied, "Nay Stanley lad, I'm moving 'ouse to Bradford." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At an antiques auction in Leeds, England a wealthy American announced that he had lost his wallet containing £5,000, and he would give a reward of £50 to the person who found it. From the back of the hall a Yorkshire voice shouted, "I'll give £100!"
  3. Is it advisable to engage mild 0 exercises, whatever is possible - like walking etc., with these aches and pain?
  4. Thank you very much Sheryl. Well noted your advice.
  5. >>> so she might also be prescribed or even self-prescribe that. No, she is not taking any self prescribed drugs at all - not even vitamins. >>> and dont question doctors, they would follow without thinking about alternatives. Yes, I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, some doctors seems to dislike patients asking questions... and when you are sick, you dare not upset your doctor.
  6. Yes, the hormone therapy IS related to her cancer - seems this is an alternative to chemo & radiation therapies. No, it is not related to vanity reasons.
  7. >>> Just speculation - side effects of chemotherapy. It's common. She was not administered with chemo, but is on hormone therapy. But I read that the side effects of Femara 2.5 mg tablets can have fatigue and muscular pain. >>> If she is not happy with her doctor she can ask to change or move... Not really. She seems to be happy with the surgeon. Problem is, there are a couple of Doctors treating her - The surgeon, the Dr who is administering the hormone injections, the Physiotherapist etc. So far, non of them had given an answer to her post-surgery issues that I mentioned above. In fact, it was my idea for her to consult a new Dr - at least to get some advice to her discomforts, without changing the initial Doctors. The main issue I feel is that many Doctors do not discuss and explain in detail about the patient's concerns. Thank you very much for your suggestions.
  8. Asking on behalf of a friend - Thai Female aged 50. Was diagnosed with grade 2 cancer - clinical information summary attached. Mastectomy surgery was performed on 24 May 2022 She is now on hormone therapy and has to get the injections and daily dose of Femara 2.5 mg tablets. Now she is complaining of shoulder pain - both. Sometimes feeling cold and then warm in awhile. Also feeling very tired even after walking for 5 minutes slowly. However, she drives, goes to work and basically leads a normal life. What could be the cause of these discomforts? - so far she has not received any proper advice. Should she consult a General Physician for advice? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Residing in Bangkok. Thank you in advance.
