Hi JenNem,

I'm just popping by to tell you I was in exactly the same situation as you last year. The only difference was that I am post menopausal so no Zolodex, and I had a mastectomy, from choice. 

I was really worried about the side effects of the hormone therapy and didn't start it until a couple of months after I was supposed to, and to my amazement, apart from a bit of nausea at the very beginning and the odd hot flush and a few aches and pains, I've been fine.

I started a thread on here "Hello from a new member of the family" last September, and through it, I met two people who were diagnosed just before me and we have kept up a correspondence since then with one or two other people dropping by occasionally. If you feel like a read, take a look and you will see how we are all doing fine nearly a year down the line.  You might also have a smile or two as we have all kept our sense of humour. I have had the least amount of treatment of the three of us, so you will get an idea of how radiotherapy was from the other ladies as I didn't need it.

Good luck, I'm sure you will be fine!

Hello all

just thought I'd give you all a quick update and check in and see how you all are?

I've started the zoladex and am 5 weeks into tamoxifen. Due to change to letrozole in 3 weeks. 
move had RT which seemed fine but the last week the tiredness has hit me hard. Luckily I have some leave from work who's week but I am considering taking a couple of weeks off sick ( I've only had two weeks off so far in total).

I have received a weird badly phrased outsourced letter from the oncologist. It basically said I had no positive cancer. I've chased this up, it was a typo apparently should have read NODE positive cancer. 
 

hope you are all well 

Jen 
 

Meant to read "I've had RT " not move had!!
