Treatment, hysterectomy, mastectomy, and now an emotional mess!
Hi everyone, I had had my last chemo on Jan 11th for triple neg BC. I have BRCA1 and in the last 6 weeks since finishing treatment I have had a full hysterectomy with uterus & ovaries removed 3 wee...
Thanks everyone. The menopause specialist has put me on desvenaflaxine to help with the hot flushes and it is also an anti depressant so I’m surprised it hasn’t got me feeling fine.
After taking it it for a couple of weeks my hot flashes really died down but the last few days have been back with a vengeance, along with the emotions and a few(rare) pimples I am wondering if the body knows it’s normally period time? Even though I haven’t had a period for 5 months from chemopuse.
I will definately try the counselling and @Brenda5 the idea of stopping and smelling the roses etc is a good one. When first diagnosed I was really soaking everything up as opposed to always being on a phone, in a rush etc and I really want to get back to that. Living in the present and enjoying it all and not letting life just fly by.
@onemargie distraction is a great idea and I’m feeling better today with my husband around.
Thanks for all the hugs xxx
