I don't smoke. But still can't help feeling I may have done something wrong. Deep down I think I know it's not my fault. Today doesn't help as husband is going away for work until Friday evening. Xx
Thanks. Means a lot. It's good talking to you guys. I can say things I couldn't say to friends and family xxx just having a down day. I'm sure I'll be fine again tomorrow xxx
We all get them xx. I was told to listen to my body. If I want to cry. Let myself cry. If I want to do something or nothing. Do what I feel like doing xx
This is precisely why we have routine mammograms. Although I know that this is not the diagnosis that you'd want, it is just as well that it was picked up. I agree with Lara, that some brands of Tamoxifen can leave you feeling exhausted and cause side-effects, that a different brand may not. You may also find that you are better taking the tablets at night instead of in the morning. Have a chat with your breast care nurse about how you feel and hopefully, she'll be able to suggest a brand that you can cope with.
seeing my oncologist in three weeks. There is always a cancer nurse in the room too. I'll see how I feel then. Also have been told that having a coil removed can also cause tiredness and fatigue and insomnia. Only been taking tamoxifen for 7 weeks so feel I have to give it a fair go xx
That's fine. It takes a few weeks to try and get used to taking the Tamoxifen, so you should have given it a fair go by then, but don't be afraid to mention how you feel,
People keep telling me that I should be getting better now. But as I said to my mum earlier. In ten weeks. I've had
cancer diagnosed biopsy seed implant surgery coil removed heavy bleeding for over two weeks five days high dose of radiotherapy A trip back to clinic for itching rash which lasted over a week weight gain and all the while wondering if my periods will start again and be heavy and painful like before and as some of you may feel what if the cancer comes back and next time I'm not as lucky?? So I think I'll give myself time xxx
