Aching legs/Radiotherapy

HI Leonie

Thanks for your reply.

I haven't started any hormone treatment yet - the oncologist said to wait until after radiotherapy is finished - but I feel as you described - I am also finding by night time I am at my worst - I feel like I have aged 10 fold at the moment. Interesting how the nurses and Drs differ isnt it - the nurses are actually seeing the patients more often overall though I think!!

6 months sounds like a long time but it is certainly better than forever for sure!!

I am glad you are feeling better after a break from the arimidrex though - perhaps there is a link with that also. Did they put you on any bone strengthening meds at the same time ? My oncologist has recommended one for me - although seems to have its own delightful side effects - jaw necrosis being one of them !!!

I too have calcium supplements etc but have been a bit hopeless in remembering to take them. Life feels full - with all the ongoing treatment and I have 2 daughters at school etc -  so many things to remember!!

Was just saying to someone the other day that even though I have been very real in this road so far - there are times when I still cant believe I'm on it. Not exactly what I thought I'd be doing at 41. 

Well thanks again for taking the time to reply - I really hope that your aches and pains settle down too and you get some relief !!

I bought some new wedge summer sandals the other day - don't know what I was thinking - I'll be in agony after walking in those for more than half an hour!! hehe xx

Take care
