ANOTHER HICCUP
Hi ladies, went back to the Oncologist today and well it wasn't what I had hoped for. One of the mediastinal nodes has grown to two inches while I have been on Aromasin. Also my CT scan shows a pl...
Hi Trace,
I am going well thanks. I don't seem to have much in the way of side effects from the Tamoxifen...maybe a bit moody at times (but that could just be me!!) and every now and then I get some ripper hot flushes! Periods are all over the place - one month I go 33 days, then the next 16 days so I don't know what is going on there? The last month has been pretty normal again so I still don't know if the Tamoxifen is putting me into menopause or not.
Early next year I need to book in for another op to swap my implant over. It is too big and I feel quite lop-sided at the moment! I just want to have a "normal" christmas this year though, after having chemo last christmas and not really enjoying myself. I am lucky to have the choice about this op to be able to wait until I am ready :)
It certainly sounds like a huge dose of Xeloda that you are taking! I hope those tablets are getting easier to swallow. Best of luck for tomorrow's blood test - let us know how you go! I will be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you (well, all except the broken finger - yep, managed to break a finger playing volleyball!!).
Stay positive and keep in touch. I know I'm not going through what you are going through but I really do care about how you are going - you have been an inspiration to me through my treatment and I'd like to be there for you if you ever need a chat.
