Case 

I'm so happy you are finally near finish line 

yes the moisturiser is key I was told this on here prior to mi e and it worked amazing 

im so fat at the moment not sure if it's cause im so relaxed now feel like I need to be spoiled  with endless trips to ice cream parlour I need to pull my finger out but you no what I think these days so what if im a few pounds over I will do it when im ready not going to worry over it .lol 

love Lara ️

You're absolutely right and stressing about being unfit is probably as bad as actually being unfit! Yes, I feel now the end is in sight, phew. And I'm not going to worry about beyond that. Thanks a lot Lara for your support in these posts - I was scared witless at the beginning and it was so reassuring to hear from people who've been through it xx

Case 4 

yes but look at you now , you have done it you have been amazing and you are out on other side at the time it feels like forever , and as time goes on it realky is like it never happened I'm sure you will be amazing after radiotherapy it's such a relief when it's all over , are you going to be taking a hormone tablet ? 
love Lara ️

Thanks Lara - can't wait for it all to be over. It just consumes all your time and thoughts doesn't it. Yes, I'll be having hormone tablets I think. Were yours prescribed before or after radiotherapy? Does the GP prescribe them or the consultant? It's just occurred to me that the doctor who did my surgery has signed me off so hopefully it's not her! Haven't been through the menopause so think I'll get tamoxifen xx

Case 

I was given the prescription by the oncologist at my last radiotherapy session I had to start them the day after it finished 

I also started tamoxifen to be honest they have been ok to be fair prior to taking them I thought I was going to turn in to a monster and look like a man lol but actually nothing of the sort has happened or changed a few flushes about 6 weeks in but they have subsided now a good tip is the brand you take if you are suited to one I read on here at my time that ladies were saying tillomed brand was the better so I went with that and they were so right 

I had another brand called workhardt and I was like a zombie for a few days o asked my chemist to only get this brand as I don't accept any other and they have been so helpful but I have been told if you go to boots tillomed are always available, this is my experience I'm not sure if it's right for everyone but thought I needed to tell you 

love Lara ️

Oh, that is very useful to know thanks. Great that you haven't had too many side-effects (man monster yes haha!!) - had told my husband to run for cover but there's hope for me!!

A quick update. I now have my appointment to remove the rest of the abnormal cells on 26th May. They are going to do this via another vacuum-assisted biopsy. They say on the letter that it will be ultrasound guided but when I had my previous biopsy it was mammogram guided as they said they couldn't see the microcalcifications on the ultrasound, so I'm not sure about that. Once they've removed everything they'll test it to make sure all ok. So about a month and a half from now until I get those results, but I'm hopeful for a good outcome.

Hi Nixbytheresa,
