Life After Breast Cancer Survivor Story
Today a close friend who doesn't have BC sent me this link she is a professional counsellor she knew I would want to share this https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/10/176194/life-after-breast-c...
@Mjheke Oh Michelle, it's just such a shitfight isn't it? I'm so sorry you've had such a rough time. I took a month off after my BMX & recon before I started on Letrozole. Give yourself a breather. Ask your oncologist how long you can wait before you start taking it.
With my chance of developing another breast cancer at 27% (pre-mastectomy, but there's always a bit of tissue left behind), and that was before I found out about the CHEK2 gene mutation, and my tumour being highly ER positive, I don't feel I have a choice in taking it.
Please remember that some people take it with no problems at all, and for many the side effects settle down after six months. Fingers crossed. K xox
