I’m in a similar situation eight chemotheraiy sessions followed by surgery but with lumpectomy 

full lymph node clearance and about to start radiotherapy next week 

I’ve also been given prescription for Anastrozole and told to start on it straight away 

I haven’t yet started as I feel that the radiotherapy will be challenging enough to deal with 

I had a really tough time on chemotherapy and having come through that I’m really struggling to accept what side effects I might have to deal with just at the point when I feel I should be getting some sort of normality back in my life 

I took HRT for a lot of years with the full support of my GP 

Having to give it up immediately on diagnosis was incredibly difficult and I have already suffered symptoms of menopause 

I am also so afraid of this hormone therapy now and what it might bring 

Many thanks for replies. So hard to do the right thing. I got through the cancer .don t feel ill .worried about what,s coming ladies we will bit this were strong
