Herbs
My oncologist just showed me this app and said this is the one that she uses to check what herbs are ok to take.

Yeah @Romla it is actually Krill oil that I;m taking, just couldn't remember the name of it before. Poor whales.
So I have been taking this concoction for about 10 months and It's done bugger all anyway for the joint pain. Just had to go and spend another couple of thousand dollars on another mattress (bought one just before diagnosis) so my hips can hopefully stop freezing up in bed. Can't afford my stinking scans now, they'll have to wait coz I really, really need some sleep.
Sorry if I sound pissed off but I would really just like at least one definitive answer on something along the way. Here take this it will help, or not don't take it because it will do do this. Not the constant "we have no idea really" if anything will effect or help anything else
Any way I'm coming up to week 13 of Tamoxifen and this last week has been a really hard slog. Nothing I take seems to help and I got a F*****g head cold as well (so much for all the vitamins) First time I've been sick in about 3 years.
I have only managed one day at work this week so far and have had to cancel all my weekend riding lessons due to brain malfunction, I think I have yelled at everyone in my family today and I am sitting here with a monster anxiety attack trying to string sentences together and work out whether I want to scream, sweat or go howl my eyes out in the shower.
The other option is a glass of wine, a cigarette and go talk to the dog. That could be the winner.
So tapping out of the drugs again and I think I'll ditch everything else as well this time around. Apologies for the sad rant but thanks for listening.
