Flaneuse

Back from my ultrasounds. Year One all clear ! G&T coming up.  

Doin'it

So pleased for you @Flaneuse. Great news. Relish that G&T!!

Woot woot, @Flaneuse..Party time.

@Kiwi Angel   @Flaneuse  - don't forget all the 'stuff at the top' is what I have added for my own 'stuffed memory'!

I thought it was handy too - to have most of the meds we get put on, in the one place, with associated side effects & what 'group' of drugs they relate to!  

I might put it in it's own post with the side effects tag etc

I think they missed a few on the list for the T drug.

arpie

   Agreed!!   I am sure we could add a whole new page for most of them, @kezmusc    

There is a chance I may be going on to Tamoxifen some time soon ...... I don't like the ones that are already showing!!  What are the others??

Way to go @flaneuse.

@Arpie remember lovely some people have no issues, you know what we say, suck it and see.  I say it's my pennance for getting through the rest of the treatment ok.

So I swapped out constipation, fatigue,depression, hair thining and headaches (don't get any of that) for vision problems, dizziness, back pain and general spaciness occasionally.
 All the other boxes I tick at various times. I have a  list of work arounds for a lot of them now though and when I really get the shits with it I just stop taking them for a couple of weeks.  Like hitting the reset button. Really hoping to dodge the nasty ones though. Aaaggghh.

P.S I do think the joint and back pain probably pales into insignificance compared to the letrozole.

That is terrific news, @Flaneuse.    Enjoy your G&T!!   xxx

I've put it up on a new page, @kezmusc  - so will add extra side effects to the post, as advised!!

Yep, vision & back pain have been 2 of mine on exemestane too.

I have a system of plastic boxes for holidays (5 weeks is too many daily ziplock bags although I put the boxes in 4 or 5 ziplock bags in case of accidents!). I am amazed that customs raises no issues given I have had to remove too many coins out of my purse before now! The things we do.

@Flaneuse Most excellent news!! About time you had something go your way. Onwards and upwards! Enjoy your celebration. K xox

@Flaneuse that’s great news

@arpie great chart!  I have vision issues (you should see how I’ve blown the font up on my pc at work) really should give in and have an eye test and deal but I live in Egypt for now. Think they are chemo related rather than Arimidex related

Also really bad at taking the meds too and mine have the days written on them!

missing words yep family and staff getting used to that, frustratingly it will come to me 5 mins later. Everyone is starting to recognise the look on my face when I remember the word I was searching for


nodded off early and now I’m paying for it. Going to be a bad day at work today. Took Monday off sick woke with headache, nausea and indigestion but have been playing catch up ever since Melbourne currently forecast for hot hot and hotter over the next few days so that is really not going to help either

on the good news front I’ve started booking our post treatment post two in VCE trip. Taking 6 weeks off work and just going. $$$$ are horrendous but I don’t think I care anymore

Loobylou

Morning, thought I would join the night howls! Been awake a couple of hours, sweats, headache and nausea... Nice!
