After the initial diagnosis of breast cancer and treatment period a year ago, when having had my 1st yr mammogram which is clear ( thankfully) I'm still finding it hard to cope with some of the physical and emotional side effects of treatment such as radiotherapy. Ongoing breast pains and tenderness, mild lymph oedema to my right arm and breast, anxiety, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger symptoms and joint pains caused by side effects of letrozole are symptoms I didn't expect. I worry every night about the cancer returning and find it difficult to sleep...partly because of discomfort with joint pains but also hot sweats and anxiety. I've seen the lymph oedema nurse on 3 occasions and have managed to reduce the oedema slightly but still have swollen painful hands every morning when I wake. The other issue I find hard to deal with is not being able to drink alcohol with friends as I used to drink wine occasionally although not excessively, (always within the NHS guidelines) but now I feel guilty when I have 1 glass and worry that it will increase the chances of it coming back. Also I usually dye my hair to hide my grey but am now considering letting the grey come through as I worry over the use of hair dyes and cancer risk? Does anyone know if there are more natural dyes that cover grey which don't carry the risk of cancer?
