Side effects of hormone therapy

ive been through chemo and radiotherapy for breast cancer had a mastectomy developed a DVT  and totally unrelated to the cancer have had sudden hearing loss on my left ear but the worse bit is the now I'm on hormone therapy it's made me a different person  memory loss, weight gain, severe tingling of the hands and fatigue but I'm alive so I've to be grateful I just thought that once the treatment was over I could get on as normal but what is normal now
