Becoming normal
Hi all,
Last time I was here was when I just had the lumpectomy Since then a lot has happened. 35 days of radiation later I had 4 rounds of chemo. Just after chemo finished I had one month to get ...
Hi Leonie
Hmm I should ask more questions from my doctor here in Germany. I am not sure what helps sometimes if I go to the gym and work out hard it helps sometimes it gets worse. I am hoping I can control it without resorting to anything but will see what the doctors say next time I see her.
Ouch the Lyrica sounds expensive but if it takes such thing to feel better then be it .
What can I say I accepted the job in Germany a month before I got diagnosed. I discovered the lump a day after I had a meeting with my future bosses. They both had been wonderful with accommodating delaying my start date to finish the chemo and give me time to recover. I think I was very lucky with relatively event free chemo and support from friends and family. I have been so grateful to my little brother for coming up and helping me pack and deal with all the little things while I moved from Japan straight to Germany. I don't think I could have managed without his help.
I decided to try and make leamonade with my situtation. I think the gravity it all is beginning to hit me an year after the diagnosis. Trying to keep a stiff upper lip is not as easy as it sounds at times.
Thank you for valuable infor.
Good luck
Hugs
