Hi BirdGirl, wishing you a happy end to your treatments! Yes it is definitely a new 'normal'! Today I actually received good news on my 3 monthly scans which have again come back clear so it has become easier as time goes by. I'm not as anxious prior to them. I'm also on Femara for 5 years which fortunately hasn't given me any unpleasant side effects apart from the stiff joints which I'm working at trying to get some relief! Going to try Vit D & calcium next as fish oil & krill oil hasn't helped! But make sure you get your Dr to prescribe it for you as large amounts of Vit D can be bad for you. Hope you don't need to go down this path anyway! I started walking a lot too which helped but really needed to get myself physically stronger so l joined the gym & haven't looked back! Good luck & wishing you well! N
