Hi Ladies
@unicorn3 good to know I'm not the only one who only sweats on one side now! I'm the same with the deodorant...can't feel it going on under my left arm...not that I need it anyway! 😃
I'm on the goserelin monthy injections and exemestane... it's ramped up my hot flushes and I have joint pain in my hips and ankles which is worse of a morning. Some days I get it and others I don't... weird... but it does get better with movement. I got dental clearance on Friday after having a filling fixed up so am ready for my zoledronic acid infusion. My husband has them for osteoporosis and said it gave him a dreadful headache the next day. Apparently that's common but everyone is different and I reckon it can't be any worse than the AC chemo!
@GorgyS my genetic testing also came back negative... it was great to finally have a good result and some good news for a change!
I'm back at work part time and starting to feel like like my old self gradually, I still get some fatigue and need to rest up. I am finally growing arm hair again too! I had hair all over my face but bald arms...go figure!
@Paris_24 have you finished the chemo and did you celebrate in style?
@Katie46 good to hear that you are doing well!
Have a lovely week everyone!
