Hi Michelle and Boston
Thanks for your message. I have also finished radiation in Feb and have now completed nearly 3 weeks back at work and all is well.
The tamoxifen hasn't really made much difference to the hot flashes I was already having but I do find myself very sweaty at work as it is quite hot there and lots of my colleagues have said it is hot but none of them have water dripping off the end of their nose like me!! That seesm to be the only difference I have noted. I am sort of dieting so haven't put on any weight have lost 6 kgs (put on 10kgs with chemo) . One thing I did do was take half a tablet for 2 weeks and then the whole tablet I read it on a blog here and thought it was a great idea worked for me. I also take the tablet at night as my oncologist said if I got headaches I could have it in my sleep lol!!
Yup doing my walk at SouthBank. Max would love to come along as he is so sociable but I noticed NO DOGS allowed! He has very scruffy chops at the moment needs to go for a clip. I am sure you are finding your dog is just there for you when you are at home and recovering from treatments. Max was very intuitive and was just around all the time. We have been doing some long walks now to get ready for the Walk on the 8th. When I was in hospital for my surgery he lay on the rug by the front door all night waiting for me to come home my husband said he didn't sleep in his bed at all - he sleeps next to us in his bed in our bedroom!!
Hope the rest of your chemo goes ok and enjoy your walk on the 8th we'll have to blog after to see how we went!
Take care
Sarah and Max xx
