Oh I hope its sorted soon. Tiredness though can be due to depression and it can take quite some time before medication can help that. I had nodes that stayed enlarged years ago related to having lots of viral infections close together. You might need to see a physician if no improvement and all tests don't give an answer. Kath x0

@Brenda5 goodness me you are doing it a bit tough lately. Hope you're feeling a little bit like your old self soon! You've been through a lot, not just physically but also emotionally. I'd be wanting to know why those lymph glands are swollen to give me a better understanding of where the body is at!
Take care xx0 -
Keep them on their toes and don't stop until you have the answers ! Some anti-depressants stop Tamoxifen from working so check up that this was taken into consideration.0

hey Brenda I'm nearly 7 months post and still get fatigued sometimes too, but I hope you are feeling your old self too soon, Ive had some post chemo depression too and find that I get less tired the more active I am and when I feel the cloud coming over I make myself get up and do something and find that helps a lot as I feel worse doing nothing does that make sense?? good luck with all the investigations, keep us posted, do you have any hobbies you love doing that could help you with your depression??? I find getting in the kitchen is my anti depressant. And believe me there's times when I just can not be shagged but feel better if I make myself do something, Feel better lovey. Margie x0

You certainly are having a crappy time, Brenda. All this stuff just adds more stress which is something all of us want to avoid. I hate feeling out of control and it is maddening when one thing after another goes wrong. I hope you get some reassuring answers and that whatever is wrong is either fixable or buggers off under its own steam. Xx Marg0

Shocking renal system? Do you have kidney problems now also Brenda? Has the diahorrea and nausea just started? I thought you had been on the escitalopram for weeks? It's odd that symptons still continuing not on medication. It does take a while to be out your system though. Keep in ckose contactcwith your GP and if nit better go back. Have they checked your liver function Brenda to make sure that's okay? You poor sausage. You must be miserable.1

OH Brenda hugs girl .... what a Sh*t of a time you are having girl....
do you need a phone call ?
happy to give you one....
what time is your u/sound tomorrow?
ASK them when they are doing it when the report will be back to your surgeon/oncologist? then you know if they say a few days to ring in a few days if they say a week not to worry if you have not heard from your surgeon or onco in that time.
Inbox me if you want to chat girl I will watch for the notification as I have not been on here much but I want to know you are ok
big RAT Pack Hugs from me

@Brenda5 I am not sure when the journey ends. I have finished treatment recently. What surprised me was when I went to my local library or bookshops there are many books on after cancer care. Why? Its a problem for many of us.
I have never read or met anyone who suddenly turned around and reverted back to their normal self quickly.
From what I have been reading and experiencing, depression after its all over is pretty common. Its hard ,after effects of drugs, plus your body recovering from all it has been through...... no wonder things are not quite right. Hope physical problems investigated and resolved
