The good and the bad

Hi peeps

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking the excellent advice on this website I pretty much started by taking it one day at a time. This does indeed help. 

I thought to share the good and the bad and would love to hear anyone else's should they wish to share.

Today I had both a good and a bad moment. I received 2 letters in the post.

The first was from the hosp confirming my op date (my bad moment) cos my stomach dropped and I had that now familiar feeling of anxiousness take hold for a moment but shook it off cos I know it is needed. 

The good - my 2nd letter - as if... a tax rebate - boom  . Not half put a much needed smile on my face . Reckon a my treat family meal is in order.

Eeee it's the little things ain't it. 

Take care peeps

  •  Good morning Rileyroo,  I just checked the paperwork my oncologist gave me and what she’s prescribing it’s Arimidex. I guess that’s for post menopausal woman. I’ll probably start on that next week today Saturday is my last radiation therapy yay. Looking forward to getting that big x  out of my boob!!  So after radiation now go show some properties to a client and then I will try to take the rest of the weekend off while see if that happens. I have been so extremely busy I am so tired I need some rest 

    How are you? How’s everybody doing I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to be on here a lot but I think about you girls often and I send you my best and good vibes 

     

    hugs

  • Arimidex I think many of us here know as Anastrazole, it’s an aromatase inhibitor, basically stops you producing hormones as far as I know. You’re right, as far as I know, AI’s are usually given to post menopausal women. I’m post menopausal but am on tamoxifen as I have issues with some of my joints and tamoxifen isn’t quite as bad as AI’s for causing problems with those apparently. 

    Just remember that as you are  at the end of your radiotherapy you could feel extremely tired as your body starts to recover and rebuild.  Be kind to yourself and rest where you can. 

  • Evening all :-)

  • Afternoon all

    Cute... I love dogs Sandra.

    Good

    Great news ... my insurers have rung today to say they will cover me for the one trip at the end of October as I had booked it the day after they’d given me the original decision. I finally spoke to someone with a bit of sense and a good dose of compassion last Thursday. He took it back to the underwriters so fingers crossed all good.
