I thought I'd update on how I'm going. Can't believe it was the beginning of November I had the double mastectomy , time goes fast.
I'm now going quite well considering.
I try to go to my gym most days of the week, even when I'm really tired I push myself as I want to try to help my bones stay strong, and get my fitness back, I always found this helped my sleeping at night.
The Hormone Blockers I'm on ( Exemestane) aren't nice but most of the side affects have settled down now with the help of Medicinal Cannabis oil, I was lucky to find a doctor who prescribed it to me.
It has really calmed me and sort of helped my sleeping.
Hot flushes still annoying but I've purchased a little purse size fan which blows air at me when I get the sweats! it's SO relieving!!
One thing with this medication I've noticed is that I'm loosing a lot of hair, has anyone else found this, ( I don't have a lot to spare.)
I have no pain at all now but noticed I have those horrible "cording" things under arms and down arms a bit, I guess this is something to do with lymph node removal ? I don't know how to get rid of them, can anyone help?
I know I'm very lucky as in not needing more treatment and really hope all of you on chemo and radiation treatment get through it ok, thinking of you all and wishing you luck :*
